....my champion is my M1898 purchased in 1972-have yet to put a round through. Bought it as a collectible, as I did my M1896 Krag rifle and carbine. Don't feel deprived, some guns are for shooting, some are for owning. A friend has a nice collection of 1930s vintage radios, there's something about those wooden cabinets, the fabric covered speakers, watching the tubes start to glow. But you can't tune in 1937. I once kidded him that he might end up like the character in The Twilight Zone story "Static". Come to think of it, I might take my M1896 Krag or M1888 45-70 to the range one day and find myself at the foot of San Juan Hill.....
