The 69A safty is located on the bolt or rightside of the rifle. Push forward to fire , rearward position is safe. It is a very fine shooting .22 . If you get one they came with s 5 shot mag.

It will be two years next month, although it seem like yesterday. 52 years full of love for each other. At the range , on the bay or just being together. What more could a man need.

Best woman a man can have. Mine could shoot everything from her Ruger .22 pistol to my M-1 Garand . Now she shoots on God's team..

I have heard from some old vets that the M-1 can can go full auto if a certen part wears.What is this part?

Had a Rem in the 513 model,still have first gun I bought in 1959 a Win mod 69a with a 5 and 10 shot orginal mags and a ranger single shot. All will shoot dime size groups at 25yds off sandbags.

When is that shoot? Might want to take one of our club members to get an idea or two. Bud Light can? Would not spend the money.never did like Bud.

308magtip

thanks for all the nice replies.Got some good ideas for next month from all. Funny thing was almost all of us could shoot and hit what we aimed at and new how to take care of a firearm.That was till we got in the Army then I learned I was doing it all wrong.?!@#

308magtip

Remember the days when we knew of dumps on a farm or a small landfill where we go on a Sat or Sun afternoon and shoot a couple boxes of .22's ? Our club held their first "tin can" shoot today. Aimed for kids to shoot as we did. Plastic replaces glass but a special top with a needle valve t...

Just got back from a shop on the otherside of the river from Harrisburg,Pa. Name is Guns Plus Never saw so many Henrys in one place. They were well stocked with all shooting supplies. Did anyone ever look at a mail order site called Mack's Prairie Wings ?

Very good. Not full of cornmeal and pig fat like most. You could tell the texture of the meat was course sort of on the stringy side yet very tender. Maybe for me a little to salty or just not used to that shop's makings. Was not loaded with black pepper. I had some several years ago from another ma...

Neighbor gave me a 1 lb block of venison scrapple. First I ever had it after all the years and deer we shot here in Pa. Always made steaks roasts chops and burger. This made by a butcher shop in New Holland , Pa.

Relating to the post of 1/19/23. I have seen my share of deer in Pa shot but never retrived with calibers such as 222 Rem,all the way to a 458 win mag.
