The wall hanger is a 12 ga win 1911 S.L. (1912-14) also known as the widow maker. It was a poor attempt at competing with the browning A5 12 ga. The reason for the name was due to paper shot shells ( before the plastic case) the paper would swell due to moisture thus making the barrel cocking action impossible to un jam except to mortar it on the ground and setting off the charge usually towards ones face!! Very crazy history lesson. Will be putting this one out to pasture / retired!!
That's a nice range half in doors I suspect I would like more pix of the range with details? I shoot in a covered area but take in the elements of the day just as fun or a chalange.
Got to go spend some time with aunt and unkle and this Time they came threw with there promise to hand down some old relics from my side of the family. Story was bud finished his tour in ww2 and was done w the army came home and bought 3 winchesters in a package deal! This isn't my first experience from history. Back then you bought a lot (set) of all worthy hunting guns at once as a package ? Stuff was that cheep or ? Either way you got all you needed at once so I ended up with 2 of the 3 the third was a 30-30 win of said era that went down with the ship in Alaska on my other unkles fishing boat! Now in my posesion are these two rems of my grandpa. Lets see if you can decifer from the pix..
So far I've done all of above but found it just as easy to shoot at the dirt backer at the range just pick a spot and watch for the splash and adjust usually takes 3 shots and I'm on paper to make fine adjustment.
Went to the pit with my buddy so he could sight in his 7mm for deer. I stood back by his late model dodge steel body. About 15 ft away boom I was leaning on the bed , the blast hit the truck so hard it felt like it slapped my arm! Fuk yeah!
Hahaha you guys crack me up!! Been trying to remodel my old house for 6 yrs this has to end so toys are out untill the nightmare is gone!! ( house for sale!!) as is :)
Shot an ak last week a new shooting budy ( mil/swat) polished the interior so sweet it was a better ak than any I have ever come across!! Thanks I'm now in the market and ammo is still cheep!
I've not tried a revolver for carry but have tried the laser on the back up and a sig. The backup always went off with recoil!! Fail. The sig carried in a soft holster drained the battery! Fail. No more lasers!!
Mine either this is the first year we haven't had a fence panel blow across the road in the last 3 years of wind up wards of 60-80 mph but thank god only in bursts!! I've since rebuilt previous builders fence about 50 ft!! I despise pulling post and Crete out of the ground but if you need help I've mastered the art!!
