    Respect is what you give those old rifles. I have one and I used to shoot a few rounds on Memorial and Veterans days. Then I've had two pistols blow up in my hand and Prudence raised her little head and convinced me that perhaps the old girl should just be admired instead of put to work. Now on the other hand if it ever came to the point where it was the last firearm I had left and it was life or death Then it wouldn't matter if she blows. The choice is yours of course but I can assure you having a firearm blow up in your hand is bot a pleasant experience.
