32-40

Surprise, Surprise!
Look what I found cleaning out the closet. Didn't even know I had them. I must have inherited them from my uncle Guy.
Still taped and wrapped!

My very first CF rifle was an old, octagon barrel (26"?) Win. 94 in .32-40. I could screw the barrel in and out with my bare hands. I bet this was back in . . . maybe . . . 1956 or 57.

I could hear the "swish" of the bullet going down range.

Dumb-ass that I was in my misbegotten youth, I sold it (probably in the mid 60s).

Thank you. This brings back very fond memories.
