The featured firearms at the Winchester booth will include:

• The Great Basin, Lost & Forgotten Model 1873

• Henry Ford Model 87
• Zane Grey Model 95

The Winchester Repeating Arms booth, meanwhile, will host the following:

• The first ever Winchester branded rifle, Model 1866
• Buffalo Bill's Model 1873 Smoothbore that he used in his Wild West Show
• President Eisenhower's Custom Model 1894
• President Kennedy's Custom Model 70
• Former Winchester Canada President R.F. Bucher's Custom Model 101

Attendees will also have the opportunity to bid on custom-built Winchester 150th Commemorative Firearm/Bullet Boards.
