However, sidearm selection, while infrequent in American history, is not new, having a storied history dating back to numerous private-contract guns from the late 18th century to the Model 1805 Harpers Ferry pistol.  [READ MORE]( [The .357 Magnum Part 2]( [Share on Facebook]( on Twitter]( on Linkedin]( this article to a friend]( Magazine In the 1950s when the sixgun was still supreme among peace officers, there were many who asked for a less expensive .357 Magnum. The 1954 result was the Highway Patrolman. It was offered only in 4 and 6" versions and without the beautiful Bright Blue finish found on the original model, nor checkered top strap and barrel rib.

To start, the V3's dual-­piston gas block is mounted in front of the receiver. According to Remington, positioning the gas block directly ahead of the receiver helps to improve reliability. Gas pressures close to the chamber are consistent and the gas burns cleanly. With the gas block mounted so close to the receiver, shortening the barrel of the V3 didn't require a complete overhaul of the gas system.  [READ MORE]( [Top 7mm Hunting Cartridges of all Time]( [Share on Facebook]( on Twitter]( on Linkedin]( this article to a friend]( View Outdoors If there's one thing big-game hunters like to do, it's sit and debate the relative merits of different cartridges and their performance capabilities on a wide variety of game.

This vintage piece completely restored by Dave Caboth of Alta, Iowa and former instructor at the Colorado School of Trades. A light weight and extremely usable rifle in a great caliber. Interesting to me that this Type S forend does not reach the end of the barrel as most commonly seen. Also interesting that a 1912 action was pulled from inventory to create the original 8x60 in 1920 or later, a caliber not created until after WW1 and the Treaty of Versailles which proscribed the manufacture of military calibers in Germany.
