Docwagon 856 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 Courtesy of Drifter: Old reloading manuals. These are going to be so much fun to read. I skimmed the chapters in one and am particularly intrigued by "bunk about buck shot."

Drifter 851 Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 I'm glad you like them Doc. Those were my Dad's and he was really big into reloading back before he passed away, and since I'm not into that I just wanted to see that they went to someone that was into it and could enjoy them. Glad they found a good home, hope you enjoy bud. I'm sure my Dad would be happy someone is getting some use out of them Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2326-looky-what-i-got-in-the-mail-today/#findComment-56454 Share on other sites More sharing options...

"How much should a shotgun weigh? This is almost as tricky a question as, "How much should a woman weigh", for one seem almost as much a matter of personal taste as the other. However, just as 200 pounds of femininity is definitely a bit much for most of us, so is a 10 pound shotgun. At the other extreme, both a 3 lb. shotgun and an 80 lb. girl friend would probably seem just too wispy to please very many of us." The article actually goes on to talk about in years past women were preferred at 140lb and "today" (being 1973) the preference is 110-125 lb and also preferred shotgun weights. Holy shit, these are fun. Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/2326-looky-what-i-got-in-the-mail-today/#findComment-56470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Docwagon 856 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 I learned what a "cripple stock" is today from one of these books. Essentially it is a rifle/shotgun stock that is bent in a fashion that you can put it on your right shoulder but aim down the sights with your left eye or vice versa for those who are cross eye dominant. I've never seen one before or heard the term, so I guess it didn't catch on, but still neat!

Docwagon 856 Posted March 15, 2015 Author Share Posted March 15, 2015 Never heard of nor knew that even existed. Nope. I'm figuring they didn't last long. Even Google doesn't come up with anything. Looks really weird, and I bet recoil control became an issue.
