look what followed me home this weekend

[Gertrude]

Just thought I'd share.
 First variation, circa 1957-1962,
 Found on CL only a couple miles from where I live. Only thing it really needs is a magazine. (I know I can get a repro-mag from Dennis Baker), but sure would be nice to find an original one.
 Cycles nice, trigger actually feels pretty good for a 50 year old single stage. did fire it about 5 times yesterday and it did ok at 40-ish yds. haven't chronied it yet, and want to see if it holds a charge to decide it I should give it a full re-seal job or not.

 





It probably won't see a whole lot of use due to I mainly shoot my more modern puffers, but I do still have a soft spot in my heart for some older classics.
 This should look nice in a rack next to my old Racine 'Dan, and my old Winchester (RWS) model 425. The 'Dan has already been Steroided but needs the furniture re-done, and the Winchester will soon be going to a "Master Magician",... so this will probably need to see at least a re-seal job, just to have it all fresh too.

Looks great! Shoot my 180s out to 40 all the time. Zero range, sight picture and trigger time make the difference.

Nice find! It looks to be in great shape.

Ron:

You'd be surprised Brother, I use my older AG's more than I thought I would vs. the modern stuff. If you know you'll be 50 yards and in, don't be afraid to break one out for pesting
