I must be too old to remember the good old days?

Being a lefty I wish it had an ambidextrous safety!

A favorite gun depends upon the day of the week or month. Today’s nomination is my Husky made Swedish Mauser Mdl 38 with a Soderin aperture sight!

Fun at the Sandpoint range today shooting a 30-40 Krag carbine ocassionally hitting a plate at 200 yards using cast bullets!

For a scoped AR my brass catcher is a bandana tied around the scope rings. Simple, functional, economical!

You guys cold take a step and try shooting a replica of a 1874 Sharps at 1000 or so yards. It’s a challenge using souls sights and a rifle chambered in 45/70. My home cast bullets weigh between 525 to 560 grains.

Don’t buy a rifle unless you can buy a couple of cases of ammo forvit. I have seen some ‘old’ guys come to the range with some 30 year old boxes of ammo. They take a couple of shots and then head home. They are the successful hunters.😀

In the previous century I had a similar case failure with the last cartridge I. The magazine in my Colt 1911A1 in 38 super. The gun survived and so did I! I am left handed and the right plastic grip panel cracked in two. The magazine follower was damaged. At the time 38 super brass was hard to...

My grandson Jordan shooting cast bullets in my Swedish M38 equipped with a Soderin receiver sight. He made hits on plates set at 224 yds(15” disc), 419yds(21”),and 525yds(26”) before running out of elevation adjustment.

For the cmp Garand matches I have been happy using my Remington 1903A3 rifle. I shoot left handed!

It’s hard for me to believe this is the best the Democrats have to offer!

My 12 year old grandson using cross sticks and my light cast bullet loads in my Swedish M38 in 6.5 x 55 and hitting targets at 224 yds , 419 yds, and 525 yds. The respective plates were 15”, 21”, and 26” discs. The challenge was adjusting the Soderin rear sight for wind and elevation. Simple...

I’ll be 79 before Christmas!
