I have one of those circa 1955 manufacture. I got in some trouble with it
while shooting cattle in a field when I was twelve. Two friends and I spent
an unpleasant hour or two at the sheriffs office with following corporal
punishment from our parents. I split the stock once, swinging at a mules
ass, because the mule wouldnt move. I used white glue for repair, and you
cant even tell.
Now it just sits in a gun case, a reminder of my misbegotten past.
