The plate racks at many ranges are the modern equivalent.
I recall that they had special .22 short rounds for the gallery guns, the bullet designed to disintegrate upon impact. Remington called them "Gallery Special Spatter-Less".

I picked that one up at a pawn shop a few years ago. It was with a stack of problem guns. The had it marked as a Model 62 with a bad barrel. it was a mess. The barrel and action were full of oily rust and someone had gone over the outside with a wire wheel. I got it for $95. It cleaned up pretty good and shoots ok.Gunny, your '06 looks identical to mine (I guess that I should check the safe. )
It was the first firearm that I ever fired, at age 8. It was given to my Dad when he was 8, back in 1940. It was manufactured in 1924.
It the one gun that I will never part with, they will definitely need to pry it out of my cold dead hands.
Many thanks , great info !Older ones have exposed hammers and are priced accordingly...
you're welcome,

Memories of days gone by !Great thread, very loving memories.
Have anyone pics of gallery target stands because I would like to re-create one.
I would have imagined these things wold have long ago end up in the scrap heap . It's a wonder they last as long they have . Very interesting bit of history .Every Time one goes to the Wanenmacher's Tulsa Arms Show there is someone there always selling in mass some cool cheap vintage nick nack that you can not live without.. I.E one time there was someone selling 1870s Trapdoor combination tools.
One time there was someone selling a heap O' pile of Western arms shooting gallery refilling tubes. The shooting gun operator would have these tubes preloaded with the number of rounds he was reloading and would quickly drop the rounds into the empty rifle magazine. You can see that the operator could fill the tubes with wood dowels at the ends to customise the number of rounds he was selling. Also there were various sizes.
