My fifteenth birthday was one I�ll always remember. Though my parents had divorced a year or so prior, they were both present at the family get-together, and that alone was enough for me. I lived with Mom, but worked for Dad, so I got plenty of time with both of them, but it was nice to have them both at my birthday. The birthday gifts were always appreciated, but when Ol� Grumpy Pants handed me a long, thin cardboard box�wrapped in the hasty and nonplussed fashion that most men wrap with�my eyebrows involuntarily raised.

I love lever action rifles My first rifle was an 1894AE Winchester in .30-30. I now have a 1892 in .32-20, a repro 1873 saddlery g carbine in .44-40, a Browning 92 in .44 magnum, a Winchester 9422 in .22rf, and a repro of the 1883 Colt Burgess in .44-40, an unusual but very nice carbine.
They were sorta the "assault rifle" of the 19th century.
Today we have the "evil black rifle" that our modern policritters hate.
I have a few of those as well, just so as those policritters don't get to well pleased with me. ;) |
