Yeah, neat! You don't see many with a folding bipod like that;-)

Folding bi-pod?  That's a stretch....   Grin

Bench Shooter

I find this photo quite extraordinary.
1.  The high quality A frame sculpted legs on the bench.
2.  The front height adjustable rest, built as part of the bench, with what I would guess to be leather or felt on the top edge.
3.  A slide clamped to the barrel.  Reminds me of what Skip Epp built.
4.  A target hanging on the door.

First, note the second rifle at the picture's far left, apparently fixed in a brace attached to the wall.  Second, blowing the photo up shows that the "folding bi-pod" is actually a muzzle brace or rest.  Also, the "fabric" apparently hanging off the front of the bench is an adjacent collapsed stack of berry boxes.  Nonetheless, a pretty advanced bench design.  I imagine we would recognize the shooter's name.

Anyone know where I can get a ‘hi-res’ file of the photo below? I’d like to hang it in the shop. Wonder what they are chewing the fat over.
Thanks Richard

A hammer drilling being held by the King.   
I don't think you would see a photo of that with what passes for celebrity today.

Just Google "photo Clark Gable with gun" or if you do "photo Hemingway with gun" you can see him shooting sharks with his Thompson. Oh, how times have changed.

When I was in High School I had a job delivering autoparts. One day when I was delivering parts to Palm Springs, I stopped in at a gunshop and the guy behind the counter told me that I had just missed Elvis, he had come in to look at pistols and had put one on layaway.

Any story behind that revolver, I own one, would like to know.
Thanks Mike

yamoon,
 
I've tried to backtrack to where I got that photo, I think it came from a forum "Shooting Bench." If I had a Taurus 357, I think I'd use 38 Special loads in it. We all reload here, and I think it's important to always have safety in mind.  Sad
