No such nonsense as a store-bought shotgun for 18-year-old Arnold Allen of Ada, Okla. He made his own. He used a three-quarter-inch pipe for the barrel, whittled himself a stock and used a small nail for the firing pin.And no federal ninjas broke his door down and destroyed his life.
Of course, that was 50 years ago.
The September 1956 issue of GUNS Magazine is now online.
Also in this issue:
- "Was Wyatt Earp Hero or Heel?" [Seeing as how he imposed "gun control" in Tombstone, my vote is for the latter, along with article author and GCA '68 proponent Hugh O'Brian]
- "Russia's Secret All-Purpose Cartridge"
- "Where Tommy Guns Are Shot By Civilian Marksmen"
- and much more, including the classic period ads (featuring classic period prices).
