.. Another "gun game".. this time long guns.
« on: December 03, 2022, 01:08:52 PM »
   As in the handgun game, search the internet, and find a famous long gun.  I'll start, with Davy- Crockett's
   "Old Betsy" which was named after his second wife.  The photo shows Old Betsy.. For some reason the owner had
    Fess Parker, who played Davy on TV.. "autograph" the rifle.  Looks like a "set" trigger, doesn't it ?
   
  Caution; when searching..many "commemorative" copies have been made of some guns, so check carefully.-

  Good selection...  As I recall, a 6.5 Carcano..  I recall having a cheap, little $10 Weaver scope like that when I
  was a kid.  It wouldn't hold zero on a .22 rifle.

  Either Oswald didn't know his guns...or he truly was a 'patsy' ... or perhaps both !
