SHOOTING AN ORIGINAL LEMAN & A
LEMAN
Who said these old original guns won’t shoot?
Target on left was off hand at 25 yards with a trigger that was really hard to pull without
jerking. Once removed, cleaned and lubed the results were better, just needs the sights
adjusted now. I was pleased with this original Leman Trade Rifle from the mid 1850’s.
I was really proud thinking I kicked ass after all these years with a new
Leman
Trade Rifle built by Les Bennett putting it to old friends. Well I was wrong because settling
for third place with a 50-3 X score - a larger group didn’t set well. Damn just like shooting in
the “Colorado Squirrel Shoot Championships” years ago. Where the hell are you guys
“Powderhawk” & “Uffda” ……
