Nevermind that the front of my high school in Fallon NV says "The Old High School" right across the front of it .
I've found that I'm growing to like the old simple things . Not through any conscious effort it's just working out that way . I have a couple of companion pairs , 92' Winchesters sure they're not originals but they are some parts fitting copies . They shoot a cartridge that pre dates their design by 19 yr . Their companions are a double action built 99 yr ago and 1957 enhanced SAA revisited made in 1976 . I know a BlackHawk is about as much an SAA as a Peterbuilt but it is closer than LCR or an XD .
I was looking at my rifles I have 2 cartridges less than 50 yo and only 2 more under 60 the rest are 80+ , even that spiffy new hotrod the 257 Roberts . All the rest are over 100 .
For pistols there's just 1 cartridge under 85 yr.
Just 2 pistols whose design is under 60 but even the autos are over 85 , nope not a 1911 in the bunch .
Even the scatter guns are wonders from another time . A quick search suggests that even my BPS is a dinosaur whose parents predate my favorite the model 12 Winchesters ......
