This is nice one! And I doubt (and hope) it will never be sold.
Be really carefull going to shoot on a railroad bridge these days.
I've spent most of my childhood shooting from a railroad bridge, without any problems, but a year ago, I had some tribal police tell me that I couldn't do it any more. I didn't ask why, just left as they were a little aggressive.
took it to the range. accuracy was not bad at all 3-4 inch groups at 10 yards. even a little better shooting DA although i forgot how gritty the trigger was. enjoyed every minute of it.
Exploring the older posts today, this thread inspired me to take the 922 I inherited from my dad out of the safe and give a good oiling. She’s an old one; bird’s head grip frame with the flat main spring, cylinder cutouts only have one straight edge for the cylinder stop to bump against, half moon brass front sight. Family lore is that it saw duty on the trap line that supplemented the family income during Granddad’s failed attempt at farming in Montana in the late 30’s. In order to be able to use it I had to take the custom manzanita grip Granddad carved for my father (my hands are much larger) and replace it with a saw handle grip I got form Numrich. I think I’ll make this a Father’s Day event from now on.
