truth be known....my dad who will turn 90 in November has forgotten that I earned the money for that carbine.

Over the years, it's become his home defense rifle.

Mowed yards in 1963 to earn the $20 my dad mailed to the NRA.

Opened the shipping box and was introduced to the devil's grease: cosmoline

1944 Winchester








Tried to shoot a match with it just a few weeks ago, but my eyes are no longer good enough for the peep sight when shooting quickly.

And don't worry, that cheap, Wolf hardball shoots just fine.
