The breach is probably rusted shut by now; it would make a great piece to hang on the wall.Makes me wonder just how long it really was out there. Seems like the stock would've completely rotted off the rifle if it had been exposed for all those years. A great piece for whoever found it!
Eta; Wonder if it was still loaded ?
I, too, am farsighted. I had a pair of yellow tinted shooting glasses made with a +2 diopter lens on the right, and a plain lens in the left. With a little practice, you will learn to see the rear sight with the right eye, and the bull with the left.Edit: Now that I think about it; a pistol would be easy to sight after my Cataract Surgery. I have the far sight lens's and holding a pistol at arms length would be no challenge. However, being a right handed shooter I might need to remove the left lens from my reading glasses.
That would be quite true and on target.The age of the gun tells nothing about how long it's been out there. I have my grandfather's shotgun, which was probably new roughly 100 years ago. If I go out and lose it in the woods, the finder would claim it was a "100-yr old shotgun found in the woods". True, but not all that stunning.
Only forensic dating of the "scene" will tell how long the gun may have been waiting there for someone to spot it.
Yeah, I migrated.Good to hear from you again, Ron.
