Maple Sugar, rats were the bane of my existence when I lived in Salmo. The Great Northern Railroad had a spur line by the highway and they frequently stopped to shuffle cars. The cargo cars often had RATS. Big ugly, nasty rats. They killed our chickens, fought off the dogs and urinated/crapped all over everything. Any place they inhabited or took refuge smelled bad. Other than that, rats are fine creatures.

You needed a rat trap

In around 1968-69 a freind bought a LE sniper at Canadian Tire for $75.00 He got it home an proceeded to cut the wood off it and sporterized it. It came with the crate and accessories all included.

The "friend" was really you wasn't it?

Can't fault "him" at all really, that was the cool thing to do back then. Just like today its cool cut down sks barrels and Tap-Co the crap out of them... remember the Zombie phase a few years back? (That's done now right???)… M14's get every add on imaginable, USGI stocks get glass bedded and selector voids filled..... well you get it. who knows we may look back in 50 years and shake our heads also, at least our kids will.

The gun pictured in the line drawing is a rare "12 Stop" Colt Open Top. It was called that due to the extra cylinder stops over the chambers. Bad idea as the wall thickness was not great and the cylinders blew.

bearhunter: I did business with Alan Lever several times, both on the phone and in person. He was always a gentleman to me. His old store was like being in a dream. He didn't strike me as a man who would be an easy mark.

I well remember Lever Arms downtown store. I bought a Browning 9mm there for cheap, an early model with internal extractor. He had an eclectic collection of antiques, odd ball stuff and collectibles of all kinds.

When I got into free fall parachuting, I needed money for a rig that was available. I sold my 6" Colt Python to Alan along with my Herter's single stage "C" press and dies. Years later I asked him if he still had it and asked if I could buy it back. He laughed .....

Indeed, I was a young soldier with the world by the a$$, except for not having enough money for neither women nor MILSURPS.

Things were much different back then. If I hadn't been able to trade time on the job for the rifles I brought home back then, I would have had trouble affording them as well.

TURF THE LIBERALS IN 2019

Liberals really like POOR people, they're making more of them every day

If you can't vote CPC, stay at home in protest

I guess that's why he he turned it into a rat trap, can't blow up in your hand if it's not in your hand.
