Letter from William Loeb to the Winchester Repeating Arms Company

Subject(s): Firearms, Gunstocks, Roosevelt, Theodore, 1858-1919, Winchester rifle

President Roosevelt is confused about the rifle stocks. He sent the 45-70 as an example of the stock he does not like and the stocks of the rifles they sent are like the 45-70. The stock when fitted must be exactly like the government rifle.
