For a long time anyways.
At the end of next month, or early Feb I am going to have surgery on my right shoulder to reattach on of my rotator cuff tendons to the bone and repair another tear in another. I won't be able to bow hunt for a year, and who knows how long until I can shoot the rifles again.
I took out three of my lever guns. Could have taken whatever, but levers are so much fun.
Took out the 1906 30wcf rifle, my 1966 carbine that I rescued. It was bought at an antique store as a stripped receiver with a broken tang. I welded on a new tang and assembled it. Still working on the sights. And I took my Rossi carbine in .44mag..
Had a good day.
I had cast some 170 rnfp for the 1906 model and now my bore looks like a smooth bore.
Back to the drawing board on that one.
I left the 450 Marlin guide gun at home because I figured an all ready damaged shoulder didn't need that kind of recoil!
