a couple old obsolete rifles
I took a picture of a couple old lever action rifles to show a fella. Thought I would post them here.
the top one is a 40-65 that Ackley bored out to 45-70 years ago back. I found a 40-65 octagon barrel in amongst the gun parts and wondered about a barrel swap, I wonder about these things at times.
the bottom is a 50 express, My father had bought the gun in the 1950s for fifty dollars. For years ammo was a bit rare and then cowboy action shooting or some such activity came along, Then 50-110 was available again.
