GUNS
Don Todd is the leading gun-man
| of Nyssa, being not only a
tv. j -
gunman" but a man of many guns.
In short, guns are a hobby with Mr.
Todd and has a collection of small
revolvers, horse pistols and ranging
up to high powertd big-game rifles.
Your corespondent, being some%
wiiat interested in guns herself and
especially revolver and pistol shoot
ing, was more than delighted with
the opportunity of examining this
collecton. In answer to the usual
question, " Why did you choose guns
for a hobby," he replied, “All the
hobby there is to it is getting old
guns and making them shoot."
A mother couldn’t handle her
child more tenderly than Mr. Todd
handled his oldest rifle as he care
fully passed it to me. The rifle was
a bolt action Springfield 45-70 of
1878 vintage.
Outstanding among
several revolvers are the 38 Smith
& Wesson, 45 Colt and 22 Woodsman.
Carefully encased in a holster is a
45 Frontier bearing the date of 1872,
and cut on the handle are three
notches, probably before Mr. Todd
gained possession of the gun.
It makes no difference who used
the “objects of his affection" prior
to his ownership. One, a Spandeau
1898, better known as a 8 MM was
used In the German army during the
World War. This resembles the
famous Mauser model and Is perhaps
the best of the military rifles, as it
has the famous Mauser action and
comparatively light,
tapered, pol
ished barrel. Another highly desir
able feature of this rifle is that
when remodeled, it weighs less than
any of the other well known military
rifles.
Another army gun In the collec
tion is the French Libel 8MM. The
weight of the bullet is 170 grains;
has velocity of 2550 feet per second
when it leaves the muzzle of the gun;
puts forth 2455 foot pounds of energy
(kick to you) and the maximum ac
curacy range Is 500 yards.
How many understand what the
trajectory of firearms consists of?
Mr. Todd explains that each and
every firearm has what are called
"rifling" or grooves from the breech
to the muzzle, causing the bullet to
twist in following this groove. This
produces the drilling or boring mo
tion of ' " « bullet, which in itself
overcomes the air pressure
with
which the bullet comes In contact on
Its journey. The depth and number
of times that they circle the gun
barrel produces the velocity.
This bullet, when it first leaves
the gun barrel begins to rise In its
course, which Is called the the tra
jectory. This bullet will rise for a
certain length of time and then be
gins to fall, owing to gravity.
The American gun used in the last
war was the 30-006 Springfield. It is
the most popular high-power rifle in
America, Mr. Todd says. Their pop
ularity is justified because of their
construction, great accuracy and ad
aptability to the large range of loads
and bullet Weights available. It is
suitable from woodchucks to g ru j-
ltes. Its maximum accuracy covers
1000 yards and the average hooting
distance of rifle is between 800 and
1000.
Mr. Todd stated that he had been
collecting these guns for about 8
years and remodeling them for hunt
ing. He states he has inclinations to
become a gunsmith. At the present
time he has between 25 and 30 guns
torn up In the process of remodeling
and some 15 guns in a special cup
board in the barber shop. Almost
every popular make can be seen.
Thanks again Mr. Todd. When you
get the rest of the guns put together
we would like to see them.
Next Week—Antiques.
