Some fun at the range

[Jeff olson]

Fun little range trip yesterday. Decided to keep it old school. My eyes ain't what they used to be so we kept it at 25 yds. All iron sights. The 1890 is, well an 1890. The 75 Winchester is a sweet little shooter. The sights on the Thompson are atrocious, but it will shoot minute of bad guy without a single hiccup. Pretty fun day.

Good to hear you had some fun shooting those old schools wood and steel rifles. Nothing like it...

I like your tastes Jeff!

Last week I finally got the 2nd replacement buttstock (the original was long gone, and the replacement that was on it when I bought it was awful) for my 1906 Winchester pump fully fitted to the action. I had to resort to a bit of Acraglass in a couple places, but it's not really visible. Mine has the improved lifter that can supposedly feed .22 Shorts as well as Long and LR, but I haven't found any Shorts to test this for myself.



I don't have a 75 but my 69A comes pretty close.



I should take these two to the range some day with my P14 and have an all-Winchester session.
