Does This Make Me An Outlaw? (Video)

Summary:

A look at firearms that a novice might think I should not own!     Sadly, YouTube must think this makes me an outlaw, as well, since they demonetized this video.  :-)

Winchester Model 12 Shotgun


Last year, I bought a Winchester Model 12 shotgun in 12 gauge. It was made in 1919. 

I tried it out a couple of times at our shooting area and it worked just fine. Next month, I will be heading to my friend's in Lake Havasu for the Christmas holiday. While there, if past times are an indication, we'll be heading out to the skeet range for some skeet shooting. I am anxious to try out the Model 12 on the skeet range. It should be interesting to see how a 106-year-old shotgun does.

The longer barrel of the Model 12 should work out better than the Remington 870 Express. I bought the shotgun through Guns.com.

It is interesting to note that Americans used the Model 12 in the Pacific War against the Japanese. It was highly effective in jungle conditions and the Japanese forces were fearful of them.

Shooting Water Jugs

Above, yours truly yesterday with the Winchester 94. Photo by Larry Lucier.

When a group of us went target shooting at the shooting area near our community yesterday, I brought along five water jugs for targets.

This was the first time shooting at full water jugs for me. I started off shooting one with my Ruger 10/22 .22 caliber rifle. All the .22 rounds did was punch holes in the jug. Nothing spectacular.

Then, I brought out my Winchester 94 in .30-30 caliber. The results were vastly different. The jugs exploded apart with a single hit. I can see why Hickok45 and others on YouTube get a big kick out of shooting water jugs.

The video below is a great example on what .30-30 rounds do the water jugs.

Summary:

Shooting and discussing a fine old Model 94 made in 1929. I think that qualifies as a "Pre-64" Winchester.

Ruger 10/22 (Video)

From Hickok45:

Plinking with my Ruger 10/22, one of the most popular rifles ever made. This rifle was a Christmas gift from my father in 1987.

Tactical Solutions offers some products for the Ruger 10/22, but it's Tactical Innovations that makes the magazine I was trying to think of in the video.
