Known to Winchester collectors as the “International Match” rifle. It is one of 27 that are recorded in the Winchester factory ledgers, and one of only 11 that are known to still be in circulation in collections and museums.

LEFT THE RANGE- Paul Harrell
I’m sure everyone has heard by now. Paul succumbed to Pancreatic cancer. Probably one of the more deadly version of this plague of modernity. Paul doesn’t need me to talk about him and you all don’t need some poor attempt from me. The man left a video himself for when the day came. We willContinue reading “LEFT THE RANGE- Paul Harrell”
Best Scene From MIAMI VICE – Jim Zubiena

LEFT THE RANGE- Richard R. Dressler

How Insurgencies are Broken
This is another re-post from our ongoing tribute to our friend Kevin OBrien , AKA “Hognose”. Who was the owner and primary of weaponsman.com who passed away much too early in the spring of 2017. “Is it safe?” Torture makes for great entertainment, but it’s seldom needed to roll up an insurgent network. We bumped into anContinue reading “How Insurgencies are Broken”

In the 1990s Colt decided to get back into the .22 target pistol market after many years of absence. They came out with two pistols in stainless steel and heavy barrels. The “Cadet” with the shorter and the target model with the 6 inch barrel. I have wrote about the Cadet before and this weekContinue reading “Colt Target Model .22 LR Pistol”
