45 caliber, he liked shooting it and probably would have liked it more, if he could have loaded it himself. Truthfully, my friend who was along brought an M-1 carbine. Thomas enjoyed shooting that a lot. I was the first time he shot a center fired rifle. He didn’t help that much with the building, there was a lot to do, but he isn’t big enough to run the lathe and mill yet.
Yet to me it was a wonderful day, it is one thing to want to finish a project and another to have someone to give the finished project too. It was great to get together with a friend that I don’t see that often and great to be shooting, even if it was watching my son shoot.
