shooting some older rim fires

[RCS]

I have a Stevens Model 87 22 rim fire (no serial number) that my uncle bought used in 1959 for $10, still has the brass pin stock repair. My uncle used it with 22 birdshot quite alot. After be died in the mid 70's I got the rifle. It became a "loaner" to friends and was used for years.
Always worked, never a problem, easy to clean too. Recently while shooting this rifle, I noticed the fired cases were swollen and decided to see if there was still some accuracy.

I sent up a target card at around 18 or 20 feet and fired five rounds semi auto - better thanAttachment 109960Attachment 109959 expected.

Also fired a 1930's era H&R Sportsman single action revolver with 22 shorts also at the same distance, not bad
