Mr. 16 gauge,

Excellent thread. Tioga County is still farm country. Every farmhouse, barn, milk house and shed has a .22 or 12 gauge behind the door to this day and most are loaded. A neighbor farmer has a well worn .357 SA Hawes in the tool box of his tractor. It has been many miles over rough ground and has 0% finish left on it anywhere.

Everyone had a .22 rifle and a shotgun when I was growing up. A few farmers had .30/30s or an old military .30-06 (1903 or P-17) for deer hunting. The handguns were usually revolvers in .22 or .38 Special with a few M1911 "liberated" WWI or WWII pistols.

Adam
