Congressman George P. Miller Comm.: Science & Astro., Merchant Marine & Fisheries 8th Dist., California I AM AGAINST the erosion of the rights guaranteed us under the Constitution. I believe the Second Amendment is as significant today as it was when the Founding Fathers wrote it... The art of using guns is one that has afforded the people of this country great satisfaction. It is the basis of a great deal of our recreation and the knowledge of firearms has proven itself valuable in time of war. Congressman Clement J. Zablocki Committee on Foreign Affairs 4th District, Wisconsin WE MUST INTERPRET the provisions of the Second AmendlJ.lent in the context of the historical conditions... The Second Amendment was ... to prevent such abuses as were perpetrated during the 18th Century by the Kings of England, who disarmed the colonists and forbade them to bear arms. It was to provide the means of checking any unconstitutional usurpation of authority by the central government. Although we must remain ever watchful to prevent the usurpation of rights reserved in the Constitution to the States and to the people, it would seem to me that. during the 184 years of our nation's existence, we have developed some means more effective than muskets tl> achieve those goals. While I am very mLlch interested in guns, and own guns myself. I would not be apt to encourage the bearing of arms by our citizenry as a check on the activities of the Federal government.

8 GUNS JULY 1960 Why it is impossible to "mass produce" a Weatherby Mark V

Whenever we're asked why we don't "mass produce" \Veatherby riRes and lower their cost, we invariably answer: If we did, the result wouldn't be a Weatherby! It's the extra care of skilled gunmakers ... the frequent inspections ... the many hand operations ... the patient willingness to produce only the finest ... that have won for Weatherby riRes a unique place in the hearts of their owners. New hammer-forged rifling Pictured at the left is the latest Weatherby Mark V, introducing a new world's standard in rifle barrels - Hammer-Forged Rifling. \Vith this revolutionary new swaging process, the first in America, the riRing is actually "hammer forged" in the chrome steel barrel under a half-million pounds pressure. This results in a far smoother bore, greater accuracy, and longer barrel life. World's strongest action There's a feeling of extraordinary safety when using a Weatherby, both in firepower and in the riRe itself.The bolt action, acknowledged the world's safest, is capable of handling almost unbelievable pres• sures. Nine locking lugs, completely enclosed cartridge case, gas escape ports, streamlined enclosed cocking piece, short bolt lift• these are only a few of the advancements that make the Weatherby Mark V the safest. most powerful riRe ever developed. A sound investment Only a Weatherby offers you all these advantages for a lifetime of shooting satisfaction. Available in .257, .270, 7q1m, .300, .375, .378, and .460 Weatherby Magnums ... and standard calibers. Mark V de luxe models are priced at $265 and up, without scope. Left hand models from $295.

Many now-famous stars have learned gun skills from "first BEHIND American" who has taught arms history and military lore. HOLLYWOOD HEROES

F ALL I DIAN braves had been as handy with guns as full• By JOHN LACHUK I blooded Chickasaw Rodd Redwing, you'd never hear today's taxpayer's lament, "Give the country back to the Indians!" You wouldn't hear it, because the Indians would still be in full possession! Rodd is one of Hollywood's leading technical experts on weapons. He might very well qualify for "fastest gun alive" laurels, if he cared to claim them. But, as he puts it, "I don't, simply because I don't think there is any such thing. In the Old West, the white man had a saying, 'There was never a horse that couldn't be rode, or a man that couldn't be throwed.' This applies to fast guns. Gun-slinging is like any other skill; you can't be best all of the time. Speed with a gun depends upon the shooter's current physical and mental condi• tion. One day, he might be unbeatable, on another, he just can't do anything right. The most any athlete can hope for is to average out as one of the best." Actually, Rodd makes his living by doing things right all of the time-at least when it counts. Too often, doing something wrong would not only cost substantial money losses for a film studio-it might cost a life. During the filming of "The Fastest Gun Alive," for which Rodd was technical director, he was obliged to shoot down a narrow corridor between dozens of extras who were "spectators" at the famous "beer mug shot" by Glenn Ford. Alan Joslyn dropped the beer mug (made of wax to avoid glass splatter), and Glenn drew and shot at it with a blank. Rodd, placed out of camera range with a .22 rifle, shattered the mug in unison with Glenn's shot. The backstop for Rodd's bullet was a bale of hay placed at the end of the narrow No phony redskin, Rodd is serious worker corridor between the extras. A wrong shot here could have been in local Indian crafts and social groups.

GUNS JULY 1960 17 New Angle On Old Trick disastrous, but nothing happened; and all three "takes" were perfect. Rodd is also in demand as a professional exhibition shooter. For exhibitions, he uses a pair of Frontier Colts with chambers sleeved to shoot .22 rimfire cartridges, and a pair of Marlin .22 caliber, lever-action rifles. He fires against the hardened steel backplate of a shooting board which was designed and built for him by the Los Angeles Police Department. Rodd is equally adept with his dozen Qr so big bore rifles and pistols, but they don't lend them• selves to use on a stage or at a TV studio. Rodd has performed on many network TV shows, such as "Wide, Wide World," "You Asked For It," "Art Link• letter's House Party," "What's My Line," "I've Got a Secret," and "People Are Funny." During rehearsals for a recent "People Are Funny" show, Rodd twice registered draw times witnessed by 43 persons, of .17 of a second, including reaction time. On "You Asked For It," Rodd did his most controversial shooting stunt, that of throwing a knife with his right hand, then- drawing his holstered gun with the same hand and shooting a hole to receive the still hurtling knife. One Hollywood writer has intimated that Rodd's spec• tacular shooting is largely the result of trickery. The "trick" to the knife shot, as Rodd explained it to me, is to "Pick out a mark on the board at which to throw the knife. Then shoot a hole in that spot while the knife is in flight." It's a good trick-if you can do it. Another of Rodd's stunts is to snuff out a candle with his Frontier revolver-complicating matters by putting the candle on a swinging pendulum... He has another pen• dulum with a two inch hole in its center. Through this, he splits a bullet on an ordinary hunting knife, shattering two wafers, placed one to each side of the blade. Rodd per• formed these and other shots in his repertoire at the December Fast Draw National Championship match, held in Las Vegas, Nevada, before an audience of over 3000. He amazed even the most blase among the shooters present to compete in the event. Crowds are nothing new to Rodd. He recently did his exhibition shooting in the Hollywood Bowl, before an audience of 20,000. Unlike many Hollywood personalities, Rodd does not make free personal appearances in search of publicity. He does perform a great many benefit shows for the Boy Scouts, Polio and Muscular Dystrophy victims, and crippled children's schools, totalling an audience in 1959 of almost 8,000. He also visits boy's detention schools, in an effort to bring a message of rehabilitation to these troubled youngsters. Rodd loves childen. After Rodd performs for one of these children's groups, he throws the meeting open to questions-no holds barred. Here are a few typical ones: "When did you become an Indian?" "Do you live in a tepee?" "Are you married to a squaw?" (Rodd's charming wife, Erika, came to the United States from Germany, before World War II.) "Have you ever been shot?" "Have you ever killed anyone?" Rodd doesn't tell his youthful audience that he has taken human life, al• though he was obliged to do so during World War II. He does admit to being shot. When his wide eyed spectators ask how, Rodd replies with his usual impish grin, "With a B-B gun!" However, the several scars on his body really resulted from some pretty rugged action in the South Short-range accuracy plus speed is demonstrated by Pacific as a lieutenant in the Army Air Force. Redwing who draws six-gun with same hand that drops matchbox; then as box falls he cocks and fires, Rodd's concern for his own people leads him to spend hitting wafer on backstop before box hits floor. much of his time working in (Continued on page 61) 18 GUNS JULY 1960 EXCLUSIVE AND "HOT.II THIS REPORT REVEALS CASTRO'S FACILITIES

YOU TOO CAN BE A BULLET ARTIST

By CLYDE HOWELL

RAWING PICTURES with bullets D is a form of gun fun that has been reserved, seemingly, for the sole enj oyment of the professional exhibi• tion shooters. Ad Topperwein was a wizard at it, could "sketch" an Indian head complete with feathered head• dress almost as fast as an artist could do it with pen strokes. The late Ed McGivern referred to it as "Bullet Art." It's fun, and it requires precision shoot• ing, and these are usually the prime requisites for popularity for a shooting sport-yet nobody does it. Why? I say nobody does it; at least I've never seen any evidences of "bullet art" in or around the homes of the many gun fans I know. Shooting friends to whom I talked knew nothing about it. Yet it isn't an expensive form of shoot• ing. It isn't easy, yet it isn't some• thing nobody can do but a professional gun-magician. It's visible, and will Old-style mailbox with new style bullet holes (above) and bullet-punched impress even your non-shooting friends house marker are signs of author's home-developed .22 auto rifle skill. -something that can't be said about the other paper-punching target games.

By DANIEL F. FORD

ISTORIANS USUALLY credit R. J. Gatling with producing the H first practical machine gun for combat use. Practical, his guns were, and combat use they saw, but Gatling was not the first. The Gatling system was the highest expression of the '.'battery g1]!1," a repeater with a group or battery of barrels. But for nearly a century now the single-barrel gun has held the field, and the most widely used single barrel gun was the Maxim'. As machine gun students know, the Maxim's construction centers around a Luger-like toggle joint action which imparts a fore-and• aft movement to the breech block to fire and reload. The Maxim was, Sir Hiram Maxim supposed, an "improvement" on the Gatling. But a recent discovery in New Hampshire may show the basic design of the Maxim, though not Maxim's, pre-dates the Gatling by a handful of years. A local gunsmith has unearthed a percussion-cap machine gun which residents conjecture may date so far back as 1840, decades before either Gatling or Maxim made their appearance. The gun, located in the village of Charlestown, fires .54 caliber rifle bullets through a single barrel as fast a.s the operator can turn the crank.

Desperately he tried to steady his shaking hand and fire again before it was too late! Minutes later-when it was all over-he shook his head in despair as he talked to the cop next to him. "I was shaking like a leaf! How about you?" The other cop grinned self-consciously as he answered, "I was scared stiff!" What nerve-shattering ordeal had these two policemen just been through? -a gun battle with a notorious criminal? A fight to the death? No, they had just completed their relays in a pistol match and were discussing their performance behind the firing line. Was this dismal lack of poise a sad commentary on the protectors of our citizenry? If so, a lot of civilian shooters would sympathize, for match pressure gets us all.

MASSACRED 1 GEN. CUSTER AND 261 MEN NO OFFICER OR MAN LEFT OF FIVE COMPANIES HUS APPEARED the glaring headlines of the first T accounts of the Custer Massacre, dated July 6, 1876. And ever since then people have pondered and speculated Attack by 7th at on the subject. What caused this so-called massacre? What Washita led to retribution by the happened up there· on the Little Big Horn that caused Sioux upon Custer. Custer's entire immediate command to be wiped out? Some of the questions concern the guns and ammunition of the troopers, and of the Indian hostiles. Did the Indians have repeating rifles while the cavalry had only single shot rifles? Did the cartridges of the cavalrymen stick in their rifles after being fired and have to be pried out with knives, as was claimed? Were the single·shot carbines of the troopers outmoded? These are a few of the questions. Let's go back to that fateful day of June 25, 1876, and, after reviewing the facts, perhaps we can answer some of those questions-at least to our own satisfaction. There were, of course, no such things as machine guns; the closest thing was the Gatling, and Custer didn't have Gallings. He had refused to take them when General Terry .. offered them to him, assuring Terry that he was strong enough without them. The battle, beginning in broken draws and hills by the river, ended up on grassy, sage-covered slopes rising to the Ground today has white headstones where once ridge and over into the draw on the other si~e of the ridge. lay white bones of Custer's dead.. Sioux fled north, There were no trees or rocks. There certainly was no time may have used Canadian Henry and war club. to dig fortifications. The Indian warriors swarming up from the miles-long camp in the trees along the river probably numbered over 4,000. Perhaps, in the thick of battle, Custer thought about those Gatling guns he could have had. Near the end of the march, before the Little Big Horn river was reached, Custer had split his regiment of ·about 600 men into four groups--giving one battalion or squadron to Major Reno, one squadron to Capt. Benteen, one com• pany to escort the pack train. The rest of the regiment, num· bering some 225 men, he led himself.

HE LONG-AWAITED Model 70 Winchester in .264 Magnum T caliber is now a reality, ready and waiting for the 1960 hunting seasons. The new cartridge is based on the same blank as is used in the .458 African and .338 Alaskan, and is to be called "The Westerner." It comes in two bullet weights: a flat-based 100 grain at 3700 feet velocity, and a 140 grain at 3200 feet. Naturally, I much 100 yd. prefer the 140 grain bullet for all shooting over long ranges, for either range pests or the lighter big game. Winchester advertises this rifle and cartridge for elk as well as for the smaller big game. On this, as a big-bullet man, I cannot agree. It • should take all our lighter big game nicely, including the small barren ground caribou; but I would not choose it for elk, moose, or big bear. 200 yd. The rifle is cut with a nine inch twist and the Winchester engineers range . tell me that the 140 grain bullet was the heaviest that would stabilize. I would have preferred a 7%" to 8" twist and a 160 grain bullet. But this doesn't mean that I don't like this rifle; I do. It should just about fit the dreams of any man for a long range, flat shooting rifle; and its ballistics are close to amazing. 300 yd. The cartridge case is huge for the bore for most all I.M.R. powders, range and Winchester loads it with a special ball powder of very slow-burn• tt ing characteristics. Hodgson's 4831 will work in the new cartridge, and an even slower burning powder would no doubt be advisable. We received rifle No. 465286 for test. Action and trigger of this 400 yd. rifle was rough, but it has a very fine barrel. We fitted it with a Bushnell 3X-9 variable-power scope with command post and cross• range hair reticle in Bushnell Model 70 mounts. The scope and mount performed perfectly on this rifle. In fact, it seems an ideal combination for such a high veloCity, flat shooting, long range rifle. The rifle is slim, trim with a three-shot magazine. Barrel length is 500 yd. 26", necessary to burn the huge charge of slow-burning ball powder tl range properly. Stock is Monte Carlo comb, type P.G., just right for scope I use but a bit tight for the folding leaf rear sight. However, that folding rear sight in conjunction with a fine hunting scope is ideal New "Power Point" bullet of .264 is major for this rifle, or most any hunting rifle.

If you do run into problems you can't handle, consult your local gunsmith. The primary difference between the Standard model that is issued to the G.I.'s and the National Match version is in the barrel. Tolerances for the match barrel are held close to those of commercial target barrels. whereas the standard barrels are made a little looser to avoid malfunctions in combat. Let's not go into more technical comparison of the two barrels; suffice it to say that the match barrel is more accurate due to greater coddling during manufac• ture.

As some guns were found at the location of the Indian village in the val• ley, Museum officials think that this last may have been one of them. Incidentally-and this may come as a sur• prise to many people-there were no sabres carried into battle by the Seventh. Sabres were sent back when the cavalry left the Yellowstone River and headed up the Rose• bud. Finally, let's consider the frequent claim that the soldiers were plagued with empty shells sticking in their guns. Don Rickey, Jr., Park Service Historian, has agreed that certainly some of the more than 600 carbines used here by the troops must have malfullc• tioned as regards the extracting of the empty shells. ( early 25,000 .45-70 cartridges were fired by soldiers in the Custer Battle.) "But of the hundreds of empty cases I have collected and examined," he says, "only one or two show any evidence of having been pried out of a breech with a knife or other sharp instrument. Possibly some of the car• bines were put out of action when the ex• tractor failed, but it is quite likely that this factor has been given undue importance in previous studies of the Battle."

The averages he fiaured conform closely to the recent Na• THE TRAP AND SKEETSHOOTER ti~nal Safety Council statistics of deaths by gunshot. "Considering the pistol's usefulness in pre• venting murder, burglary, larceny and other crimes in the homes of law-abiding citizens, it seems to me," Burns continued, "that 2lh per ccnt of possible, though I shall not say probable, discredit, was a pretty small peg for the New York legislature to hang its new anti-pistol law upon." The annual wave of modern anti·gun bills seems to run true to form, and Burns would have found the Albany hearings of last February 25th very much to be expected. "Most of the major hills introduced during the 1960 session providing for restriction of firearms and ammunition were cither killed in Committee, or defeated," said Assembly• man Mason.. Of the other opinion, Bernard Ruggieri, New York City's legislativc rcpre• sentative to the Assembly hearings, disputed the reference to the city's crime record and insisted that laws could reduce crime. He said that laws barring the sale of switch• blade and gravity knives had been followcd by a substantial drop in their use in crimes. .. .
