TWO RELICS AT THE RANGE

by Bob Walsh

No, I don't mean me and Howie, though that would not necessarily be incorrect.  I recently bought myself a couple of birthday presents, a S&W .32-20 target revolver that left Springfield in December 0f 1916 and a Colt 1902 Military Automatic in .38 Auto that was built in 1904.  

They may not be practical weapons these days, but I get a large amount of personal satisfaction from cleaning them up, tweaking them as needed and sending a few rounds downrange.  The bore in the 1902 is dark and gundgy, but still shoots well, considering my old eyes and those minimalistic military sights.  The S&W was in much better shape and shot very well indeed.  

Fun Fun Fun.
