great shooting.
I have one and love the history of the rifle

 

How long has that nickel been in your pocket?

 

Those 40X sure can shoot.

It is hard to see, but it is a 1929. No, it has not been in my pocket that long. Use it because it is different and helps give proportion to the group sizes.

 

Dear usmc69 , that's a certified walnut cracker, or buster. I use to do that some time back , make easy on the
Squirrels , not SquirrelhunterLR. I was told that a Squirrel, gray squirrel, could tell if a walnut was good or bad ,
before trying to get into the walnut. That's sorta reminds us looking for gold in all the wrong places. Good luck on your shooting. Maybe needed to get the barrel warmed up , usmc69 Great shooting. Buck

 

Looks to me like the Marine pulling the trigger still has some life, too!

Well done!

Take care,

Greg

 

Nice!

Barrel is stamped W E T, so it should be August 1958.

Wow, I was 4 years old , if that weapon could talk , what stories and the one releasing the sear , can pass on The rifle gets the bullet to target ,the one behind the rifle , aids the bullet to the target he is by no means a dud. He is still a walnut buster , varmints dont have a chance.
Keep it in the xx's usmc69 , Buck

I was six and about ready to have my first open heart surgery when this 40X was made.

Buck, I don't hunt animals anymore. I was in an Anti-Terrorist unit in the Corps, since then never wanted to hunt animals. Still try to keep my skill levels up. Thank you.

Thanks Keeley. Hopefully a few more years. Don't do the iron sight matches here anymore. Cataracts need fixing!

 

I know what you mean. I got mine fixed awhile back and along came covid. Haven't shot rimfire since. Went to the trap range and now can't even do that.

I have shot all the way through covid and such. Just don't see the irons as well as I use to. Also tired of shooting the Matches. Not a lot of fun when you are shooting them by yourself. Just shoot now to please myself. two days of rifle and one of handgun most every week. Take care old Friend!!

AJ

 

Back at ya! Get those cataracts fixed. VA did mine. You'll be amazed 😉
