No need to thank me, just trying to keep you out of trouble on cool November evening!

Re: A little blast from the past
I still have a copy of GUNS from August 1959, I keep it to remind me of how things used to be... Thanks for posting.

If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.
Re: A little blast from the past
I was thumbing through the GUNS MAGAZINE pages and came upon this ad. When I was pushing newspapers around in the Phoenix summer heat I was earning money for the new faster bicycle, and for almost this exact firearm. I got a saddle ring carbine, complete with notches, which I bought by mail order by sending in the money, and shortly this rifle, or one just like it, showed up at our door via U.S. Mail. I was in high school.
Imagine that.
I owned other firearms, including a Webley revolver purchased the same way. This rolling block was my all time favorite gun to shoot and it went everywhere with me. It was mighty accurate. And loud. And reliable. And just plain FUN. I gave up carrying the Nylon 66 around in favor of the Roller. I "think" the ammo was mil-surp hard ball in the great 7mm, and the rifle really might have been a Pancho Villa pickup.
What a blast! What a rush! Judging from the things I shot, what penetration!
If I could have just one back from the past, I'd fetch this one.

Those 2 links were great reading. We do have a few men left who are of his type, but they are becoming fewer all the time. Sad.
