14 GU NS AUGUST 1964 The Pro-Gun La"" Takes Shape!

By E. B. MANN

ECENT DISCUSSIONS WITH LAWMAKERS from several states indicate that R the question now is, not "Will any Senator or Congressman present our law to the United States Congress?" but "Which one of those willing to present it can do so to its best advantage?" Meanwhile, we are taking full advantage of the stalemate (current as this is written) over the Civil Rights Bill to perfect the wording of our pro-gun proposal-to foresee (and forestall if possible) the procedural difficulties it may encounter-and to prepare support for it in addition to that of its eventual sponsors. If all this seems slow to you, we can only say, "It seems slow to us, too." But we are learning that a good gun law, like Rome, cannot be built in a day, or in a month. Here, one false step in procedure, one mis-statement of meaning, could defeat the entire program. After all, this is an old war. If it could have been won quickly, others would have won it before we started. We have learned, too, the truth of the old adage that "you can't please all of the people_" Our mail concerning this proposal has been so heavy that it has been impossible even to acknowledge half of the letters-for which we hope you will accept this as a blanket apology. Easily 95 per cent of those letters have been 100 per cent enthusiastic. A few, far fewer than we expected, have chided or derided us, calling us "hopeless optimists," "fools, blundering into matters better left to those with longer experience," and even one or two less-quotable names. Optimists we are, and fools we may be; but as to experience, we can boast a pretty impressive record of our own when we add up service "hash-marks" of the men who are working with us. But-and let this be printed bold for emphasis: We want all the help we can get! We have already welcomed many who have

ANNOUNCEMENT Because the voices of legislators who favor anti-gun laws are strong, we would like to give strength to the voices of those who would back a pro-gun law. Let us know of any candidates for a state or federal legislative office in you area who have voiced pro-gun opinions. We will give added support to their stand by publishing their statements in upcoming, pre-election issues of GUNS Magazine.

volunteered to help us. We invite, we urge, all men and all groups with experience in these matters and with dedication to this cause to join us, to advise us, to support us in whatever manner possible. We invite, we urge, every shooting organization in America, every gun and outdoor publication in America, every sportsmen's group in America, to advise and support us. We need the advice and help of their leader• ship; we need the support of their members-and of all .,hooters. This is not a cause that can be won by anyone group alone; that has been proved. But it can be won• and its victory will be a victory for all shooters. Conversely, its defeat will not be ours alone; it will be one more .set-back (to add to a long record of set-backs) to the cause of shooting in America. But, you need not be a "wheel" in any organization, any group, to strike a blow for gun-law victory. Reform of gun laws at the federal level is the prime objective-• but not necessarily the primary objective.

Here are the ground rules that Pete uses to determine when the geese will be flying. He knows that wise old honkers usually leave the sanctuary to feed during early morning hours if the night has been dark. So Pete heads for the firing line early in the morning, after nights of a quarter moon or less, or after any stonny or cloudy night. When Pete does head for the firing line after a bright moonlight night, he goes only in the late afternoon on the chance that a few flocks might leave the sanctuary early to begin their night feeding. Predicting where to position oneself on the firing line is . a more difficult problem. This must not only be at a point over which flocks of departing geese will pass, it must also be one which they will pass within reasonable shotgun range. Ideally, this point should be close to the sanctuary so the geese will not have had time to gain much altitude. It should be downwind from the sanctuary, since geese cannot gain much altitude in a short distance when flying with the wind. And it should be on an elevation, such as a hill, to further cut down the (Continued on page 42)

HOUSANDS OF BOYS, girls, and adults of Phoenix, Arizona, have learned T that shooting can be fun, especially when proper instructions by qualified men are a part of the shooting. What started out to be a minor public relations project by the Phoenix Sports• man's Association, for the sons and daughters of its membership, has grown into a state-wide program. The movement actually began with Ben Avery, editor of the Rod and Gun column in the "Arizona Republic." He learned that shooting can be fun not only for the student, but also for the instructor, by teaching his three daughters how to shoot and handle rifles. One of the girls became a state small-bore champion, and qualified on the state college rifle team. Ben, in writing about his own gun teaching experiences and the many rewards garnered by him, inspired the outdoorsmen and shooters of Phoenix to make gun education for youngsters a project for their clubs. The Arizona Varmint Callers' Association, the Phoenix Sportsman's Association, and the Phoenix Rod and Gun Club, which heretofore had been rival organizations, banded together to carry out a city-wide program to tea«h proper -gun handling, shooting, and respect and pride in firearms ownership.

By C LYDE ORMOND

UST AS PROFESSIONAL baseball is a game of inches, J successful big-game hunting is a sport of minutes, of waiting a little longer, trying a bit harder. I learned this many years ago on a buck hunt in Idaho's Caribou Forest. Three of us had hunted hard for all of the allotted time. My two partners had hung up bucks• a fine two-pointer and a huge four-pointer. I'd continu• ously been just where the bucks weren't. The morning we were to leave for home, it was raining enough to embarrass a mallard. We'd packed all the gear in the car, except the Baker tent, and one of the fellows was alternating between grazing upon a huge plate of corn• flakes, and trying to get me to stay and hunt an extra day. "Ray and I can wait over," he argued. "Why not give it another whirl?" "Too rainy," I said. "You're just too lazy to hunt," Ray goaded me. Had it not been for their persistence, we would have been on the way home a half-hour before. But as we argued, Burn, at the corn-flakes, suddenly paused, mouth open. "My gosh, look !" Trophies li ke this fi ne bull elk don't come to t he Tripping daintily along about 50 yards away, a three• hunter who won't take t he extra effort or stay to point buck, likely tired of the rain across the canyon, had t he fin al hou r. Big racks are almost always just a crossed the valley, and was walking right up a thin trail little fa rther than the average hu nter cares to go. to the tiny spring. Had Burn not said anything, that buck , would have walked right into the tent. I got the 7 mm, which had been stored in the car for the home trip, sat on the car's bumper, and rolled that fat buck by the time he'd romped off 175 yards! Since then, comparable results- after giving a hunt that extra effort and time-have happened almost regularly. On a moose hunt in Alaska, my partner had busted a noble 58 incher the first day, and we'd both taken grizzly and caribou. But my bull moose had eluded me. The rut hadn't started yet, and the great bulls were not crashing about; the leaves on the Alaska willows hadn't yet dropped with frost, making it difficult to spot the huge black animals in the bush. With our 20 day hunt over, my partner stayed in camp to pack things. I should have helped him, but hated to see the final day pass without some kind of effort. I couldn't actually hunt, since our time was over and all the guides were busy otherwise. But I saddled up my horse, and went with one of the Indian guides to pack in my caribou, O utfitters and guides will go the one extra mile for killed the day before. The .300 H&H Magnum went along hunters who won't g ive up and don't complain. in the scabbard. 30 GUNS AUGUST 1964 HUNTING SUCCESS PRESCRIPTION: TAKE E9UAL PARTS OF HARD WORK AND MIX WELL WITH SAVVY

Below: This fine muley was taken only because the guide had urged the discouraged hunter to try just one more time.

The guide and I went 10 miles, packed the caribou quarters in, and were fording the Slana River, just 400 yards from camp. Suddenly my nag snorted, shied, and pointed his ears towards shore. There, within reasopable range, stood a mighty bull moose, which had just hap .. pened to head that way. I piled off, stood knee-deep in the river, and busted him. He had 24 points and a 58 inch spread, the same as my partner's. The last time a bit of final effort paid off in a big way occurred on a late Colorado buck hunt in 1962. We were hunting at Weldon Dearing's Spring Creek Ranch, just out of Grand Valley, and adj acent to the Rockies. Though this was marvelous deer country, ( Continued on page 51)

32 GUNS AUGUST 1964 HE PERIOD FROM about 1947 to the present has T seen many new firearms designs come and go, and the .22 autoloading rifle is no exception. The well-remembered Remington 241, Winchester 61 and 74, Marlin 88, and H&R 165 have all been discontinued. In their place we have the Remington 66, Winchester's 290, Marlin's 99, Weatherby's XXII, and a number of European models. One of the most interesting designs to appear, then disappear, during this period was the BSA Ralock, a .22 autoloader manufactured by the world-famous Birmingham Small Arms Co., Ltd., Warwickshire, England. Designed under the leadership of C. A. Perry, BSA's chief designer, the first Ralock was produced in October, 1947. The first models, chambered for the .22 Short cartridge, were serial numbered beginning with S 10001. The rifle had a 22" barrel and weighed slightly less than six pounds. Only 1200 0.£ this model were produced. One year later, in October, 1948, BSA introduced the .22 Long Rifle version of the Ralock, numbering these from T 10001. This version had a 26.4 inch barrel and weighed about six pounds. In September of 1951, after only 5,600 rifles were produced, this model was also discontinued. The most outstanding feature of the Ralock concerns the fired cases. Having no ejection port, the empty shells are not ejected from the gun. They are retained in a small reservoir in the forward part of the trigger guard, which is emptied by grasping the rear of the trigger guard and swinging it forward, allowing the cases to fall clear. This also serves to cock the rifle-similar to the method used with the . There is no protruding bolt handle for cocking purposes. The bolt is not the cylindrical, sliding type found in most .22 autoloaders. Nor does it have a separate firing pin. Instead, it consists of a single machined piece which swings around a pivot located beneath the rear of the barrel. When viewed from the top, the bolt is V-shaped. Machined on the inside bottom of this V are two vertical ribs. Squeezing the trigger releases the bolt, causing it to pivot forward, forcing the cartridge carrier up out of the way. As the bolt reaches its forward position, the two ribs strike the rim of the cartridge, firing it. The bolt then pivots backward, extracting the fired case downward; the swinging cartridge carrier drops into the recess in the bolt (Continued on page 45)

38 GUNS AUGUST 1964 ~ HE MOST DISTINCTIVE American longarm, and forerunner of all American arms manufacture, was the famed Pennsylvania long rifle, which found its origin Taround Lancaster, Pennsylvania, around 1725. The name "Kentucky" rifle, often r:I:"::E-3:E: incorrectly used to describe this arm, did not come into usage until many years after the Pennsylvania rifle had become well known. Many of the Pennsylvania gunsmiths based the design of their firearms on the Jaeger rifles which they had brought with them from Europe, and the true Pennsyl• vania rifle bore the marks of individual design and character. The true Pennsylvania rifle was made entirely by hand, under the most primitive conditions. Calibers ranged from about .30 to .80, with the average barrel length around 40 inches; average weight FRONTIER was about nine pounds. So many variations in caliber, size, and style exist that it would be literally impossible to detail any number of them here. GUNBH OP The rifle shown in the drawings is typical in most of its features. Lock mecbanisms BY J AMES:tYr. TR.IGGS were all very nearly the same, although the fact that most such locks were handmade, precluded the possibility of any interchangeability of their parts. Disassembly of the rifle is as follows : Place hammer at halfcock and remove side plates screw(s) from left side of stock. Remove lock assembly (IS) from right side of stock. The barrel (2) can be removed from stock (I) by removing tang screw (II) PIONEER AMERICAN and barrel wedges (8) or pins, in some cases. Use care when removing pins or other parts inletted into the wood stock. Lock mechanisms were of the most common types HANDGUNS: and should present no disassembly problems.

After all this sage advice, I must admit that I killed my two honkers on the last day of the season last year by sheer accident and with the aid of a cooperative cow!

Several attempts had been made in that di• rection, but nothing really jelled in produc• tion until Ed Hilliard of Redfield Gun Sight Co. got to work on the project. Most scope manufacturers, when sub· mitting scopes for tests, neglect to send along rings and bases. Last time we tried a scope for a 94, we had the devil's own time with it, and finally abandoned the project. Ed, or some other genius in Ed's shop, got a brainstorm-they shipped not this fine little scope yourself, or your gun• only the bases and the scope-they also smith can do it in a couple of minutes.

By gosh, the scope was even zeroed in! Crow Records Not too far away from my home, there is a very active crow roost and birds trade right over my place. When Wightman Elec• tronics, Inc., Box 989G, Easton, Md., sent us their new crow calling record, I could not resist the temptation. I set the electric game caller up, and when the first black robbers made their appearance, I turned on the caller. That record sounds like a first rate crow fight, and the birds came piling in fast and furious. The record, WC-3, retails for $2.50, and Wightman's have a great many other records; they also make the "Call of the Wild" record player. Canadian Ammo Canadian Industries Limited, Box lOG, Montreal, Quebec, Canada, shipped us some test ammo after we had a session with one of their ballistics men not long ago here in our offices. We gave the C-I-L trap and skeet loads a good going over for the past several weeks, and found that they compare favorably with our domestic ammo and the stuff that we handload. Pressure-sealed crimps hold up very well, and autoloaders and pump guns were used to check the Canadian shells. Perhaps the most severe test for paper hulls is the wear test. A magazine is filled with live rounds, and the rounds are being ejected manually after feeding into the chamber. This test is repeated with each shell 20 times, and the C-I-L stuff came in trap, in skeet, in the field!
