Default A Trip Down Memory Lane

An online PDF of Guns Magazine - April 1957

Makes for a nice Saturday night read. Some really neat old gun ads along with some interesting hunting articles.

Thank you as well. I love the old stuff. Especially the prices for rifles back then compared to today. As well I love old advertising .
