Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485

I had one, recoil was stout but not unbearable. I used to take it to shoots and let people try it. When I realized it was more fun to watch others shoot it than shoot it myself I sold it. I read some where it was strong enough to take Ruger #1 loads, didn't seem safe to me so I emailed Magnum Research. Ever wait forever to get a response to an email? I didn't that time, few hours later they sent what sounded like a frantic email saying in no uncertain terms NO #1 LOADS, trap door or Marlin loads only.

Movie, "Children of the corn".

I was wondering, 9mm or .38 super?

That's a super glide not a sportster.

Sleeved it with a Dan Wesson barrel. However the first time I had it out, before the sleeve, I hit 4 out of 5 targets 4 times.

Uberti 1858 Remington .44, converted to .38spl.

Tusco used to have, maybe still do, a shoot once a year where they used teddy bears for shotgun targets. I always wondered where they got them from... hmmm

I shot my marlin with the rear sight folded down. I felt it made it easier to find the next target. Pull that picatinny rail off, try it on paper at 10 and 20 yards, he might find he doesn't need a rear sight at all. I think most match directors at weekly matches would let him shoot it. Maybe wrap leather around the end of the barrel and nut, tie it on with fringe, might look cool.

Maybe otto had something to do with that spelling.

I would look at a spring for a cap and ball gun.
