Winchester Super-X Model 1
Myself and a friend went out last week and shot a few clay targets. I took my Winchester Super-X Model 1 skeet gun. I have had this about nine years and it gets an occasional outing. This is the gun that cost Winchester a lot of money. It cost more to make than the public would pay, so they lost mon...

Vickers Machine Gun demontration
Yesterday at Bisley in England a demonstration shoot of 16 Vickers Machine Guns was held to commemorate the centenary of the disbandment of the Machine Gun Corps. I didn't go as a near 500 mile round trip was too much, though I would have liked to have seen it. I did see a single Vickers firing at B...

US Model of 1917
A friend said he wanted to downsize his firearms collection so I said I would help him out. I bought his US Model of 1917 from him. He has had this for 20 years or more. It is a Winchester made example and has been through the refurbishment process at some point. The receiver has been parkerised and...

Re: So Canada is going to become more like England
So, the thousands of Lee Enfield rifles in Canada are going to have their magazines butchered to reduce the capacity to five rounds. Why do people vote for these idiots?

Re: Another tragedy and another easy answer
That event was high up on the news reports in the UK. It was referred to at Prime Ministers Questions in Parliament today with the speaker, Prime Minister and all party leaders offering sympathy to all affected. There is the usual call for stricter legislation to prevent such occurrences. We have mu...

Taylor Fur Getter
I was recently reading a November 1968 copy of a UK magazine, The Gamekeeper and Countryside. I noticed an article about the Taylor Fur Getter made by the Taylor Fur Co., St Louis, Mo. This was patented on June 2nd 1914 and was made for the fur trade but was soon banned by the Federal authorities an...

Re: COOEY 84 in 12/70
My brother got one of those in .410 for his sixteenth birthday in 1960. I used it as well through the 60s. His son used it also until he fired it with a blockage in the muzzle. He was crawling under a hedge stalking a rabbit and inadvertently got some soil in the muzzle. The muzzle bulged and split ...

Re: Magazine ban.
Does the ban apply to .22 rimfire as well or just centrefire rifles? How does the ban work on a tube magazine or is it just removable magazines? I have always wondered why the lawmakers seem obsessed with magazine capacity. It takes a second or two to change a magazine so magazine capacity seems a n...
