Yeah, but you are going to have to get a lot younger and better lookin' if you want to duplicate that photo.

We have a Frank Wesson 1870 in 44 Wesson. Our's is a type 2 with the beveled barrel to "finger nail " pluck the fired brass out... if possible.
Made a brass rod to drop down the barrel for the stuck ones. But sure makes a fine woods loafing / swamp roaming rifle.

Woke up way early as usual, wife and son who's home from the Navy still asleep. Flipped on the TV and TCM is showing the 1942 Mrs. Miniver then followed with The Best Years of our Lives, both excellent movies made during WWII. It's been a few years since I've seen either, I forget between times what a fine movie The Best Years of Our Lives is and also what an emotional tear-jerker it is.
It sure is nice having some time away from work, it's gonna be an adjustment going back.

Not to top this, because this is pretty cool. But a shooter at Wilton bought a rifle and it had H.A. Donaldson stamped on the barrel. He thought Harvey had built it. But when our late friend Sendero, who knew Harvey in his later years saw the rifle, he said that it was Harvey's personal rifle.

At the casting bench in the sky. RIP Bret.
"The Best Years" is one of those movies that just sticks with you. Same for "Mrs Miniver". There was a follow up to "Mrs M" called "The Miniver Story" where she dies. I got 15 minutes into it, figured out what was happening and shut it off. Just couldn't watch it.

Just think in most of our lifetimes we've seen aviation go from just barely supersonic or at least grew up with Glamorous Gleness and John Glenn as household names to a serious rocket launcher glider that could recover and repair a damaged satellite and hit a runway within a 2000' square coming back and supersonic transoceanic flights to a near termination of all of it .........in just over 70 years more .......
The 223/556 , Stoner Armalite Rifle family , and 308 are eligible for SS checks ...... I didn't get here until just after the T65 but the 308 is 60 this year .
