While I'm not a Mod 12 or 42 person, the mod 61 fit out that way looks like a "class" carpenter bee gun. Mike

Is that where they get the saying "sight for sore eyes", which is usually meant as a compliment. I happen to like the looks of mine!

I can remember a short lived game where tiny clay targets were shot with .22's. I think they were called "Skeetos". These ribs that Simmons installed may have been for that game.
