What is a Winchester?
It wasn't too long ago when the word Winchester
meant rifle. The old model 1866 was as much
a part of our Western history as the Conestoga wagon
and the buckskin shirt. Time was when
a man felt naked without his Winchester - unless
he was a preacher and it was on a Sunday.
Oliver Winchester's first rifle was the Henry repeater.

The Confederate Army saw it from the
wrong end. They called it "That damned Yankee rifle
that you loaded on Sunday and fired all week."
Later Buffalo Bill Cody told people,

''For general hunting or Indian fighting I consider
my Winchester (model 1873) the boss."
To Teddy Roosevelt, his Winchester (model 1895)

was his "Big Medicine."
Today, on the national and international firing lines,

where Winchester 22's have won
. more matches than all others put together,
they call it "The Rifleman's Rifle."
You and your Winchester are in pretty good company_

Grand Old Man

I was very pleased to see the article "My
Old Man" (April, 1961), by Chas. Askins,
Jr. Both he and his 'father have a frank,
straightforward style that I find both inter-
esting and refreshing. My only complaint
(which is really a compliment) is that I
would had liked the story to be at least four
times as long! .
C.A. Sr. was certainly the grand old man
of the scattergun, and his lucid discussions
made wonderful reading. I have been read-
ing him ever since he first appeared in the
old "Outdoor Life" many years ago, and I
am certain that many others have as well.
Please prevail upon C.A. Jr. to give us a
fuller treatment and follow it up with some
reprints of the old man's articles. It will
make your fine magazine even finer!
Two minor corrections on the article are
in order. First: Bert Becker (not Bob) col.
laborated with Askins to bring out the 12
gao Magnum, overbored to .750" and han·
dling 1% oz. shot, not the 10 gao which was
developed by Ithaca with C.A. Sr.'s assist-
ance. Second: Askin's book was titled "Mod·
ern Shotguns and Loads" rather than "Mod.
ern Shotgun Loads."

Coming Up
I have been taking and enjoying your in.
formative magazine for several years. I
thought I would take this opportunity to
praise the high quality of your advertising,
and on the fact that you stick to advertise·
ments pertaining to the shooting sports.
Inclosed is a picture from the Oct. 20
issue of The St. Louis Post Dispatch, describ-
ing a new weapon that is called a grenade
launcher. I would call it a hand mortar.
Comparing the weight of the weapon and the
projectile with the weight of an average 12
gauge shotgun and load, and the fact that
the army found it necessary to put a recoil
pad on the weapon, it must kick like a Mis-
souri mule. How about having a story on it
in your fine magazine?

L GER VARIATIONS By Harry E. Jones
(Southern Press, Los Angeles, California)
This is a superbly illustrated book of 304
pages plus index; the most complete treatise
on the Luger that has come to my notice.
Each and every model and variation, from
the first 1900 model to the last 1943 models,
are pictured, with complete descriptions and
with all markings, proof marks, and any
variations from standard minutely described.
All the many different models from the seven
different manufacturers are illustrated. All
calibers, including the very rare .45 Colt
auto model, as well as all. barrel lengths and
the carbines, are shown complete with all
accessories.
Complete stripping and assembly directions
are furnished, together with breakdown pic·
tures of component parts. Cased, factory
boxed, and engraved Lugers are also shown
in the fine full page photos. As far as I am
concerned this book is the Bible on the

Harsh words? Maybe; but true words, notwith-
standing. I remember a man we found dead with a .
.357 Magnum clutched in his fist, empty, and a bullet
hole just above his left eye. According to witnesses, the
man had drawn the gun, fired five fast shots, from the
hip. He blew hell out one innocent bystander and
the surrounding scenery, but he never touched his
opponent. The other man fired one well-aimed (or
lucky) shot. Our dead man had the fire-power; he
lacked the skill.
Another instance: A man entered a drug store, drew
a revolver, ordered the druggist to open the till and
put the money in a paper bag. The druggist complied.
But as the hold-up man left the store, the druggist
pulled a small auto-loader from under the counter,
fired four shots. One of the slugs caught the robber low
in the thigh, driving clear through but missing the
bone. He fired back, and ran. His bullet. hit the
druggist in the chest.
Hard-working detectives apprehended the wounded
bandit while a doctor dug the bullet out of the druggist.
They didn't have to dig far. The slug had hardly more
than pierced the skin. When the detectives examined
the hold-up man's gun, they learned why: the gun was
an ancient clunker, nameless, so loose that most of its
power was lost through escape of gases at the breech.
Whether his centered shot was skill or luck doesn't
matter; he had bought (or stolen) the wrong weapon.
That druggist was lucky in another way, too. I
asked him if he had practiced with his weapon. He
said, "Why should I? I hit him,
didn't I?" Well, yes. But he had
had time to fire four shots, at an
easy, close-range target. Anyone
of those shots could have ended
the matter. Instead, he took a
bullet in the chest which, but for

Only a few minutes before this, as I drove my Jeep across a back section of
the farm, I had seen a woodchuck dive into his hole. I pulled up broadside
of the chuck's hole so I could use the hood of the Jeep as a makeshift bench-
rest. About half way through my repertoire of bird calls, and in the middle of
what I thought was a fair rendition of the irregular whistling, sputtering,
chattering of the Starling's song, it happened.... The chuck popped up out
of his hole as if the "all clear" had been sounded after an air raid warning.
He looked aroUlid, then ran about four yards from the entrance to eat some
young· sprouts. I stopped calling, dropped the whistle in my pocket, took a
good long squint down the tube of the Weaver K6 scope, put the crosshairs a
little below his ear, and "touched 'er off." The mushrooming hollow point
"stopped his clock," slamming into him with pile-driving speed.
I called again, and almost at once a young chuck came out. I bowled
him over with no trouble at all, almost beside the old one. To this day, in the These are but a few of the various calls,

ions about what makes a rifle accurate. One man says it's in
the bedding of the barrel in the wood, another that it's all in the
ammunition, another that it's in the rifle's action (whether bolt or
lever or some other), another that it's in the rifling-plus the
cynic in the crowd who insists that any rifle is as accurate as the

T HIS BISLEY COLT was engraved for Hugh O'Brien, TV's

Wyatt Earp, by Arthur Cordiero of Anaheim, California.
Cordiero is a custom engraver whose experience includes em-
ployment with Winchester and with Marlin Firearms.
The gun is in perfect condition and was engraved with the
temper retained. The Bisley Colt was developed for the inter-
national revolver matches held in Bisley, England, and the
grips were designed for target work. The trigger is set further
back in the trigger guard, allowing better trigger control and
reducing backlash, and the hammer is lower and flatter than
that of the Single Action Army gun. The Bisley model was
succeeded by the New Service Target model, manufacture of the
model terminating after 1912. The Bisley model, in contrast~
to the Army model, was not manufactured in .22 rimfire. ~

women see firearms as one of their husband's necessary

his wife the difference between the muzzle and the butt of
a pistol, rifle, or shotgun.
In fact, I taught my wife the fundamental rules of gun
safety before we were married. The first time I handed her
a pistol I said, "Never point this at anything unless you
intend to shoot it." I figured I'd better teach her gun
manners if I wanted to live to our wedding day. After all,
you don't play jokes with a 230 grain .45 caliber slug.
I bought my wife a .22 revolver and started teaching.
We took the pistol apart and I showed her how it worked.
Then I showed her how to clean it. In this way she became
accustomed to the gun and learned to respect rather than
fear it. By the time I took her out shooting two things
were automatic with her.
First, she never pointed a gun at something she didn't
intend to shoot. Second, she'd ask when picking up a gun

vl!riety (described later), actually provide
funds for continuing these events, and for
other worthy projects. Even in captive and
dictator dominated countries, the nostalgic
past when citizens could own firearms is
occasionally recalled postally. Free Western
nations militantly feature shooting programs,
on their stamps.
Switzerland is a good example. One of
the world's oldest free republics, the Swiss
have remained that way by considering every
able-bodied male a soldier. Every soldier
should be able to shoot in defense of his
country, they reason, and supervised target
practice is a year 'round duty and sport.

A 1950 semi-postal Swiss stamp pictured
R~'
civilian riflemen target shooting. One of
many such designs, the stamp sold for 50
centimes: 40 centimes was valid for postage,
and the additional ten went to support the
Red Cross.
Epirus, a rugged little Balkan country now
a part of Greece, featured quaintly-costumed
"Peasants At Target Practice" on 1914 letter
stamps. It was these same citizen-soldiers and
their not-so-quaint sharpshooting that helped
keep Mussolini's entire army at bay in the
early phases of World War II.
Germany postally noted the Seventh Na·
tional Shooting Matches at Innsbruck in
1944. The semi-postal pictured a Tyrolean
rifleman and his match weapon, "shadowed"
by a Wermacht soldier, which Hitler hoped
the civilian would become. Of the ten pfennig
stamp, six was good for postage, the other
four went to a fund for perpetuating the
Innsbruck matches. Germany has often issued
postage stamps honoring both civilian and
military gun events and individuals.
Sweden, home of many fine sporting and
military arms designs, issued a 1960 stamp
series showing rifle range, targets, and "ready
on the firing line." These tiny engravings,
repeated millions of times in the mail, keep
the entire population aware of the rifle rights
and gun privileges enjoyed in their free
country.
Canada in 1958 prepaid first class mail
with a stamp picturing an upland hunter,
/!;unning in a stubble field over his pointing
dog. Neighboring Newfoundland, as early as
1897, franked outgoing letters with "Caribou
Hunting," complete with sporting rifleman
and downed animal. Both of these stamp
issues advertised the good gun sport avail-
able in nations where gun restrictions are
kept at safety minimums.
Many African countries and colonies have
postally pictured native horsemen and mili-
tia, armed with everything from ancient flint-
locks to modern Mausers. These stamps, and
those of most nations, are not issued to in-
cite revolt against government, or promote
a warlike atmosphere. Rather, they reflect a
facet of daily life, the firearm a three-way
symbol: protection, sport, and food.
Practically all nations have, at some time
or another, undergone revolution and civil

The South American republics regularly com·
memorate key battles of campaigns that
brought them freedom, proclaiming the fact
world-wide, on postage stamps.
The significant fact evident from these
miniature postal portrayals is that firearms·
familiar civilians played the key roles, using
their gun training and knowledge in right-
eous causes. Costa Rica's 1950 airmail stamp
is representative of this group. It pictures
the battle of El Tejar at Cartago, in which
civilian volunteers played a large part.

several large hydroelectric darns, the Pony

have been honored postally, among a host
of similar subjects.
The mass publicity of the "special" stamps
has been proved time and again. In 1934, The Original
our Post Office Department issued a National
Park series, the "specials" picturing a cross Nitrogen Processed
section of Parks across the nation. The next
year saw the largest influx of vacationers to Fog-Free Scopes
the Parks ever, and even in the depression
years attendance shattered all records. The
same has been true of other places and
events postally publicized.
It's not easy, but certainly not impossible,
to have special stamps authorized. Prior to
1957 many specials were ordered by Con·
gress; designs steamrollered into the mails
by potent lobbies, pressure groups, and par·
tisan legislators with little regard to national
importance of the stamp subject: hence the
"chicken" and gymnastic society stamps.
Worthy perhaps in a regional sense, but cer·
tainly not of general public interest.
In 1957, President Eisenhower appointed
a Citizen's Stamp Advisory Committee, which
was just that to the Postmaster General. The
seven man group included artists, philatelic
experts, designers and 'a USIS representative.
They sifted thousands of suggestions and
demands for special stamps. Nation·wide
interest, historical significance, and effect
of the stamp abroad were some of the con·
siderations in approved designs the Corn·
mittee recommended. The quality of our
postal "specials" improved immediately.

TWICE AS EFFECTIVE makes better bullets, and I'm inclined to

agree. Speer, who have made semi·jacketed
buJlets for revolvers for some time, and
good ones, recently brought out the .30 cal·
iber Speer Plinkers. These are the' same
basic type bullet, but have a round nose
and weigh 100 grains. Accuracy is better
than you expect in everything from a .300
Weatherby Magnum to a 30-30, and .30 Car·
bine, that is now so popular.
You can pull the hard jacketed G.1. Car·
bine pills and simply seat Speer Plinkers. Or
swage your own in a Swag-O-Matic, using
Speer half-jackets. Speer supplies "14 inch
Antimonial Wire." Division Lead Co.,
(DIVCO) supplies "Illinois .30 caliber 3%
Antimonial Lead Wire." Both makes are for
the half-jacketed Swag-O-Matic bullets that
can be driven at over 3000 feet per second.
The DIVCO wire is a little sotter and easier
to swage, but both work OK. The softer wire
should give better bullet expansion, and a
harder wire deeper penetration.

C.C.l. Magnum Primers

Cascade Cartridge Co. of Lewiston, Idaho,
now has a line of "Magnum" primers. These
were designed after a lot of research into
this priming business. All old ballisticians
have long known that they could weigh and
spin and mike the bullets, check the cases
and the primer pockets, and weigh the pow-
der charges, but they had no control over the
primers. For years, No. 2400 Hercules pow-
der has been our best powder for Magnum
pistol loads, but it has also been hard to
ignite and burn properly. Usually, some un-
burned powder is left in the bore. This does
little if any harm, but the fact remains that
it was not burning completely. Even factory
.44 Magnum loads showed a very wide SAVE $5.00 A BOX ON 10 GAUGE
