Old School Fun

30 years ago I bought an old M&P that other than blue wear was original, bright barrel and crisp all the way around. One trip to range gave me a target with a random pattern of bullet holes, which was traced to a badly boggered muzzle crown. Last week, after three decades of unuse, I squared and recrowned the muzzle, and recut the forcing cone for good measure.

I loaded a box of 358311 RN over 3.5/Bullseye with a pre-war Ideal No. 3 tong tool. At the range the pistol proved perfectly sighted for that load and small poppers and plates fell until the ammo was gone. I just couldn't seem to miss. What fun!

Something about a trip back in time on a cool morning in Deep South Texas. Here she tis, Smith and Wesson Model 1905 Hand Ejector, 3rd. change, circa 1913.[image]

That's a beauty Charles. Got one made in 1911 and it is also a blast to shoot and very accurate.
