Picked up two guns tonight. 1. Wingmaster 870 12ga 2. Stevens Model 87b 22cal They were given to me by my father tonight. The wingmaster has nothing special about it other than it's the shotgun I learned to shoot on. But the Stevens is alittle different. That rifle belonged to my Grandfather. He died when my father was a boy so I never knew him. I learned to shoot rifles on the Stevens. |

I have an 1891 Argentine Mauser was originally my grandfather's. The rifle is 114 years old and still shoots like a champ. I did have to replace the spring in the internal mag, but I figure that at 114, it's about time to need something. My father told me that when he can't shoot it anymore, I can have my favorite pistol. He has an early production Colt Detective Special .38 snubbie, finished in polished nickle, that I learned to shoot handguns with. |
