    Doug,

    Thanks for this video. I had 6 uncles in WWII, some Marines, some Navy and some Army. In 1960, in 10th grade History, Mr. John Hepp was my favorite history teacher. He was a 1st. Lt. of the...

    ely,

    Thanks for the reply. No, not everything is a big game gun, BUT, why send a "Boy" to do a man's job? The M14 was a far better gun back then and now. A Matel is a better gun for folks that...

    littlejack,

    I love the Krag action and both my rifles are "as issued." My (1896 dated) carbine has a long, sad, history. Twenty years ago, I found her on the used gun rack for $65.00 down state...

    Hillbilly,

    What is "Rat Shot" that you used? Was it a reload? If so, what. I handload #6 or #7.5 shot for my farm needs. Be well.
