no you dont , but back then you pretty much knew where you might be , i wish it had been different - life delivers what we get , you are so right - "What a waste of fine infantry in lost causes." , 50,000 american lives lost for a lost cause , then the survivors to get treated as they were coming home , its an unforgivable moment in US history

Not the best rifle in my collection, but one of the more interesting. Destroyed by the British during the Boer War and resurrected by a tribesman in the NE Transvaal. |

Had to be closer to 20 years now - I should have kept that one as even with the cut barrel it was a shooter
Maybe some day I can get it back 😉

Anything is possible but you should have seen the bill for the new re barrel and I had the the new old stock 1944 barrel. And the Peter Laidler's re-furbed 1945 #32 scope with a new erector set and lens set. As soon as I'm able I will tune the 1945 magazine up as it's a single shot now. Roger Payne provided the bracket through one of his friends as he has quit production recently.Like three years ago after 35 years of making the best brackets. I have only had to scrape one for range. with .003" for right wind age. That says lot over the years. There are a lot of built in tuning moves in the copies but Roger's brackets are within 1 MOA most of the time.

1936 NRA 3006 Trophy rifles. I still have the original front sight sleeve and blade. The tube or glob front is useless. No mater what the reticule I tried covers the center of the target. I tried the whole range of inserts and never found any comfort or accuracy. From 100 to 300 i failed the course. |

That's interesting, we had circular retcules where they were sized to form a "doughnut" round the black! Didn't they? |
