120 years old
« on: November 01, 2014, 05:34:05 am »
all shots from 25 feet away,  not bad for a gun that was only supposed to be used at card table distances.

gun is an 1875 marlin No#32 in .32 rimfire.  5 shots with 2 in the center,  one on the 8 ring / 7 ring and one smacked the tree just above the target.

Where's the backstop on your shooting range?

I'm fucking blown away that that thing even hit the paper at that range every single small caliber revolver I've shot has been like throwing rocks with a broken arm. I have my great great grandfathers revolver that looks similar to that buried in a chest in my attic somewhere maybe I'll break down and restore it if it's actually capable of hitting something.

Nice pistola! It can be pretty hard to find .32 rimfire ammo, but I can see why you bought it. Any gun made before 1899 is considered antique and not subject to "paperwork".

Totally untraceable, unless of course, you post pics of it on a forum or something.   ;)

I reload .32 rimfire.  all the old time rimfires can now be reloaded with custom die sets, cast bullets, nice custom brass cases etc.  here is the website I buy from.
