The rifle has been in his family for over 100 years.
It is a takedown 1893 Marlin in .32 H.P.S. (High Power Special).
The bore is in pretty good condition.
It probably has not been fired for many years.
If guns could only talk……..!
Tuesday night at the gun club. Range 50yards. He fired 3 rounds of Hornady Leverevolution ammo.
The bullets landed 6-7 inches above the point of aim with the rear sight at its lowest level.
I explained him that when this rifle was made, the standard factory ammo was cataloged at 2,050f.p.s.
and the sights were regulated with that ammunition.
The Hornady ammo, on the other hand, is going almost 400 f.p.s. faster.
So, I am going to load some ammo that replicates the original ballistics and he will give that a try.
If the weather is aok next Tuesday we'll see what happens.
