These two, although one is not a handgun have been my trapline guns for a long, long time. The Ruger is a 1958 that some prior owner outfitted with a new front sight and a Micro rear sight.

The rifle is a Winchester 1902 that had a broken stock when I bought it. I used it for a pattern and made the maple stock that's on it. Not a great stock but a pretty faithful recreation of the original except for being maple instead of walnut.

Both have hundreds of coyotes to their credit. And more than a few badger, coon, beaver and bobcat.

Chronographs, bore scopes and pattern boards have broke a lot of hearts.
