Urges Curb on Anti-Gun Laws
I have just finished reading your article,
"Why Not a Pro-Gun Law" and I consider
it the best and most worthwhile article you
have ever published.
I expect to admire and own firearms for
the rest of my life. However, if something is
not done, and soon, to curb the never ending
stream of proposed anti-gun laws which are
always comirig into action, the rights and
privileges to do this will he taken away.
This problem confronts all gun-lovers today,
and your magazine is doing a great deal to
point the way to a solution. Abolition of
guns for prevention of crime is silly. It is

criminal wants a gun, he will always he able

s OME MONTHS AGO we had occasion

the American scene. They were then imported

an accelerated merchandising program of BSA
Made in sporting rifles by J. L. Galef & Son, of New

for convenience. The bolt handle is low for
scope use. Standard sights for the American
model consist of a triple leaf rear on the
barrel, ranged for 100, 200 and 300 yards,
and a ramp front sight. On samples tested,
this was a wide blade foresight, good for
range use on targets. As a hunting rifle,
the new BSA will almost invariably be used
with a scope to take advantage of its cali-
bers. In three actions, the "Imperial" long

"Everything for the Outdoorsman"
my money, the new BSA big bores remain
among the most attractively finished rifles on
the market today, and that is to say that they
do not have many peers.
Mechanically, the BSA is a modified Mau-
ser, involving two basic elements of Mauser
design. These are the double locking lugs on
the bolt front end, and the primary extracting
cam on the root of the bolt handle, working
against the receiver bridge on opening. But
the styling and sense of line and proportion
which has gone into making up these new
BSA rifles combines the best of basic Amer-
ican styling with some indefinably British
touch that sets it apart, distinctively, from
other guns. The blueing is a rich blue-black.
Polish is clean and precise without ripples or
that "shoeblack" look of a sloppy buffing job,
while the stock is varnished to a good finish.
The floorplate of course is hinged with trigger
guard release.
-
Receiver has dovetail blocks integral
for the Parker - Hale scope mounts.
While these mounts are of good de-
sign, quick to detach, they are the only
Savage, -308, -270, -30-06, and -458. Combined
with the pleasing appearance and design of
the "Besa" and its wide range of calibers
is its price schedule-from about a hundred
and thirty to slightly less than two hundred
bucks for the -458Imperial.
Two things of greatest novelty are worth
mentioning in the BSA line. First, their Feath-
erweight.mode1s are truly light weight, both
my .30-06 samples registering just six pounds
seven ounces. For the "carry all day and shoot
one shot to kill a deer" crowd, the Feather-
weight is a tough item to better, in price,
quality, effectiveness. The second point of
novelty is the patented "Besa" muzzle brake.
Muzzle brakes are as much a subject of
pros and cons as the high velocity us. the big
bullet arguments. We will merely report what
happened in our tests, with side comments
from BSA. The pamphlet supplied by the
maker describes the BSA brake in detail .. .

PROFESSIONAL MOVIE GUN EXPERT DEBUNKS

THE DEBUNKERS OF HOLLYWOOD QUICK-DRAW

By CHARLES MacDONALD HEARD

s 0 MUCH BUNK, so much de-bunking, glamorizing, criticizing,

half-truths and full lies have been written about the men who
make gunplay part of their careers in Hollywood motion pictures,
that it seems time the truth "and nothing but the truth" is told con-
cerning these actors and professional performers of gun-stunts. I
feel that I'm as well qualified a s anyone to tell these facts because
for the past several years I have worked as a technical advisor on
gunwork in films, and/or furnished technical and historical data to
.
writers, producers, and directors of such gunplay stories . . little
of which advice was heeded, I must admit. Before coming to Holly-
wood, I shot on pistol and rifle teams in Alaska and the Southwest,
and burned a lot of powder on my parents' ranch in Texas. I'm a
former Custodian of Weapons at The Alamo, and have been a student
of western Americana from my earliest boyhood memories of tales
of Injuns and gunfights, as told me by Old Timers who were "there."
Like most of the men who work with guns in Hollywood, I now shoot
for fun and money.
As you have noted in countless films, there are often gross and
ludicrous errors made concerning guns, gunfighters, and history in
general. Too many of these avoidable errors are blamed upon the
actors, stuntmen, gun instructors, gun specialists, or technical ad-
visors. In truth we are, or should be, the group least to be blamed
and maligned, for we make a profession of performing and teaching
:.,,-. , "the right way" as opposed to "the Hollywood way," as we call it.

Yet, nearly every article I've seen on this subject is either a
blasting critique of our movie gunwork, or some publicity
man's pipe dream about our "super-fast draws," "dazzling
spins," and "amazing trick-shots."
The truth is, we are neither supermen nor phonies-just
hard-working, well-practiced performers and technicians
who have worked years to acquire our reputations for skill
and knowledge within the movie industry. There are at
least six men who have proven themselves "professional
gunhands:" Arvo Ojala, Rodd Redwing, Carl Pitti, Doyle
Brooks, Fred Carson, George Ross, and ( I venture to add)
mvself.
Also, there are a number of actors who have practiced
arduously on gun-skill and studied gunfighter lore in order
to improve their portrayals of gunfighters. Among these
are such stars as Audie Murphy, John Derek, Burt Lan-
caster, and many others, as well as the new TV gunfighters
such as Hugh O'Brian, Clint Walker, Jim Davis, James
Arness, Clayton Moore. These men are also "pros" who do
not require a double to do their gunplay, no matter how
fast or riskv a scene mav be.
Technicians and actors are hired professional perform-
ers, who claim to be nothing more. We all work for wages
and take orders from the boss, the film's director or pro-
ducer. Our actions are directed bv them. often over our
arguments and protests. So, the next time you see a show
where the hero's pistol never runs dry, or one of us shoots
a gun out of a guy's hand, or whatever, blame the right
man-the Movie Maker. Even better for accuracy, blame
yourself, for it is you-the movie-goer-who is really
responsible for the perpetuation of these ridiculous errors.
Start demanding your money back at theaters when they
show you hogwash which purports to be history, and boy-
Movie gunfights are filmed from several angles to get
best possible visual sequence, as in scenes above and
left in which author Heard and Arvo Ojala duel for TV
film. Heard and Ojala have fought many movie battles
and Heard hopes some script lets him win so he will
not have to do all of the jarring "dead-man falls."
cott TV shows which mis-educate your children and fail
to entertain anyone! Then, and only then, will you see gun-
stories done the way you, and we, would like to see them
done on the screen.
Believe me, we professionals will be very pleased to shoot
our six-shooters the correct five times and then use our
.
eiector-rods for true realism . . and I can promise that
none of us will ever again shoot a pistol from anyone's
hand from the hip! Also, when the public makes itself felt
in the offices of the movie moguls, maybe the publicity
blurb writers will soft-pedal their claims for fantastic or
impossible gun skill that they publish about their actors>
These "claims" of Hollvwood eunhands
" are all based
upon truth, but have been either incorrectly written by
some "technical writer" or colored up by sensational "pub-
licity men." I doubt if there is one of the "pros" I've men-
-
tioned who hasn't had some stranger come & to him on a
movie set and insist upon asking "a few questions" (usually
when we are all keyed up for a scene, or are trying to talk
to someone else). After a half-dozen or so a u e s t h s the
stranger thanks 'us and leaves. Sometimes these strangers
just watch us awhile and don't even ask questions. Later we
read the "inside story" of how so-and-so got to be the
"fastest gunhand in Hollywood," or "how the movie-boys
fake gunfights," or whatever point of view this writer took
.
about our work. These are the bovs vou a
can credit for the
"claims" some of us are alleged to have made for super-
speed fast draws and miraculous trick-shots.
Of course, there are tricks to all trades, and ours is no
excevtion. Let's look at some of ours:

TEXAS HOLDS
EVEN TEXANS -INCLUDING GAME
FROM AFRICA AND ASIA

By DEV KLAPP

LOT OF PEOPLE would think you were crazy if you

A said you were going to Texas for African or Asiatic
game. If you said you expected to shoot a Barasingha
deer, an Aoudad or Barbary sheep, and a black buck or
sable antelope, they'd know you were crazy-provided, of
course, that they knew enough about game habitats to
realize that these beasts are natives of India, Africa, and
Asia respectively.
But there's a lace in Texas where you could fill those
bag specifications-and more. You could add, for instance,
a Sika buck, native of Japan. Or an English fallow deer.
Or an eland, straight out of an African safari. ... Plus,
of course, wild turkey, native white tail deer, or almost
anything else in the way of game which you could expect
to find on the North American continent between the
Canadian border and Panama! The place? Captain Eddie
Rickenbacker's Bear Creek Ranch, 20 miles west of Kerr-
ville, in Kerr County, Texas.
The Rickenbacker name explains it, of course. You
wouldn't expect things to be ordinary, run-of-the-mill, on
a spread owned by this man whose whole life has been
packed with the thrills and adventures of far places. And
this 2,700 acre ranch will not disillusion you. Managed
by Captain Eddie Rickenbacher's son, David, the ranch
produces cattle and goats just as do other Texas ranches;
but a Rickenbacker "hand" sees, in a day's ride, a lot of

strange horns he might be tempted to "lay a loop over." And one of the ranch
chores is riding herd on the hunters who come to Bear Creek looking for
"foreign" game trophies.
Rickenbacker guest sportsmen come from all over the United States and from
Canada, Mexico, Spain, wherever Captain Eddie has been, and even from
places he hasn't visited. They arrive carrying various types of guns and ammu-
nition. Usually the caliber, bullet weight, and powder charge are well suited to
the animal hunted. But sometimes guests are inexperienced. One hunter from
Canada brought along a Mauser 7.9 to bag a 90-lb. black buck antelope. Another
fellow-this one from Illinois-had armed himself with a .22 Hornet; a fine
little gun, but not exactly the caliber to use on the 620-lb. Sambur he wanted.
On the basis of experiences such as these, David carefully checks all guns Rick-
enbacker guests intend using, often diplomatically suggests the use of heavier,
or lighter, arms.
When two Houston hunters showed up on the day friend L. A. Wilke and
I were down on the ranch taking pictures, David shoved us all in a station wagon
and took off on a tour of the place. One of the hunters, Ludwig Brand, wanted
an Aoudad ram. His partner, Larry Rosmarin, had his sights set for a prize

towers on the place. Both wanted to take their trophies under conditions similar
to
. those found in the animal's natural habitat. Therefore, we bounced across

rocky pastures, up steep slopes, through thorny brush, looking for the game
they wanted.
We had just rattled down one particularly steep incline when David eased
on the brakes. "Look!" He pointed toward a group of reddish-brown animals
walking single-file up the far side of the draw. "There are your Aoudads,
Ludwig. Let's see vou eat one."

RAFAEL MENDOZA A T 71 STILL

STRIVES FOR PERFECTION
IN SIMPLY DESIGNED WEAPONS

By LYSANDER KEMP

"w HEN DON FRANCISCO asked me to design a

cannon, he gave me only two specifications. It
should make a lot of noise, and it should make a lot of
smoke."
That is how Rafael Mendoza, Mexico's eminent inventor
of automatic arms, remembers his introduction to gun-
designing. The time was just after the outbreak of the
Revolution of 1910, and "Don Francisco" was the great
Francisco I. Madero, its guiding genius. Madero was a
mild little man who looked like an associate-professor, but
under his leadership dictator Porfirio Diaz, after a rule of
almost 35 years, was driven into exile. Sefior Mendoza was
an intimate of Madero when the Revolution was being
planned, and took part in the first battles against the
Federals at Ciudad Guerrero, Pedernales, Ma1 Paso, and
Cerro Prieto. Then Don Francisco asked for that cannon.
Sefior Mendoza is a busy man. Besides designing arms,
he owns and manages a small factory next to his house
where the popular Mendoza BB pistol and BB rifle are
made. But he can find time to relax and converse in his
garden. He smiles easily, and when he begins to reminisce
his eyes shine behind thick-lensed glasses. The smile be-
comes a grin when he recalls that first assignment.
"I had never designed or made a gun before in my life,"
19

: Mendoza smilingly handles his new RM2 .30
caliber automatic now being tested by Mexican
army. Picture back of Mendoza shows Pancho
Villa with his famous, picked Los Dorados escort.
Prices displayed are in
about 12 times cost in
he says. "I was given the job because I'd run a small
shop before the Revolution, manufacturing plows and
other farming implements. That wasn't much of a qualifica-
tion for designing a cannon. It worked, though. It was 37
mm., small and light, easy to handle. Plenty of smoke and
racket, too." By lifting the handle the entire barrel slid
forward, opening the breech to insert the loaded round.
A spring striker at the back fired the gun.
It worked so well, in fact, that Madero placed Mendoza in
charge of the manufacture and maintenance of the cannons,
machine-guns, hand grenades,' and other weapons with
which the Revolutionary soldiers in northern Mexico were
outfitted. Mendoza says that much of the equipment was
crude and simple, but its very simplicity was partly a
virtue, since many of the soldiers who used it had never
had any real military training. As for the specification that

a
the cannon should produce lots of noise and smoke, it
was to make the Federals believe that the Revolutionaries
had as much firepower as themselves.
Once Mendoza began the manufacturing of arms, Don
Francisco had another job for him, and it placed him at the
right hand of the most colorful figure Mexico has ever
known, one Doroteo Arango, better known as Pancho
Villa. Madero wanted to persuade Villa to join the rebel
forces, and sent Mendoza and a group of officers to
interview him in Chihuahua. Mendoza, incidentally, has
never held any formal military rank or title. The delegation
finally won Villa over to the cause of the Revolution, and
shortly afterwards Mendoza became a member of Los
Dorados, Villa's personal escort.-In English "Los
Dorados". means "The Golden Ones," or less literally,
"The Golden Guard." His proudest keepsake of those

eventful days, even more cherished than the original
cannon he designed for Madero, is a yellowed and faded
group portrait of Los Dorados.
Today Villa has become a legendary figure, and there
is such a wealth of stories about him-some true, some
embroidered, some pure fiction-that it is difficult to form
a true picture of the man. In some versions he is presented
as nothing but a bloodthirsty bandit who did more harm to
the purposes of the Revolution than his victories were
worth. In other versions he appears as a sort of Robin
Hood in a ten-gallon hat. The- truth, of course, lies
somewhere between these extremes. Mendoza, remembering
the actual human being, not lurid legend, has a high
regard for Villa as an astute leader.
He also has a fund of anecdotes. His favorite concerns

that exploded on contact, and Villa was favorably im-
pressed by the damage it did to trees, walls, and other
"dead" targets. But he also wanted to see it tried out on a
live target. According to some of the myths, he should
have sent out one of his fanatically-loyal Dorados to be
shot at, but what actually happened was that he spied a
distant group of mules, and told the cannoneer to shoot
at one of them. Because of the distance he thought that
all it would do would be to scare them.
About ten minutes later, however, an Indian came run-
ning up to announce that his one and only mule, which he
loved like a brother and which was the mainstay of his
livelihood, had been killed. Villa hiked over to where it
lay, and was astonished to see that the critter had been corn-
pletely disemboweled. At once he (Continued on page 40)

THE HATFIELD-McCOY FEUD. FAMED IN SONG AND STORY

FOR DEAD-EYE LONG-RIFLE MARKSMANSHIP, WAS REALLY
FOUGHT WITH "MODERN" WEAPONS BY AVERAGE MARKSMEN
 By CARL
M ENTION THE HATFIELD-McCOY feud and most
men's minds leap to legends of tall, gaunt, hard-
eyed frontiersmen armed with long, slim "Kentucky"
r i f l e d e a d - e y e marksmen all, able to pick the eye out of
a squirrel with a bullet at a hundred paces or, better still,
to "bark" him without so much as breaking his skin. With
no thought of "debunking"- for the story is fantastic
enough even if one sticks to the truth as of record - the
legend as popularly accepted is, to say the least, mispainted.
The Hatfield-McCoy feud took place in the 1880's. There
were no great, paved, super-highways in Kentucky or
West Virginia then, but neither was it what you would call
frontier country. The people were not frontiersmen; they
were farmers. The men were tall, yes. "Devil Anse"
Hatfield is said to have stood three or four or more inches
over six feet in his sox. Some were gaunt and some, like
other men everywhere, were fat. They were probably all
hard-eyed enough, at least after the feud started. But they
were not armed with Kentuckys; they carried the modern
guns of that era - which meant, for the most part, double-

cient lever action repeating rifles, caliber generally some-
where in the middle forties. And they were not remarkable

representative group of Hatfields and a representative
group of McCoys fired at each other for two days across
the 20-yard width of Big Sandy Creek without a,siixgle
casualty - not even a scratch - on either side. :.
You can just about write your own ticket as to h o d t h e
feud started. If you like your manslaughter well spiced
you can join the faction of those who insist that it all
began when pretty Rose Ann (or Roseanna) McCoy moth-
ered what, in that time and place, was picturesquely known
as "a woods colt" after having allowed herself to be loved
not wisely but too well by young Jonse Hatfield. (Or you
can call him John, Johnse, or Johnson, each with prece-
h t . His living relatives call him Jonse, which is as good
23
a name as any.) The story is that Jonse proudly acknowl-
edged his paternity and took Rose home with him, but old
Devil Anse flatly refused to permit a marriage ceremony.
It probably made the McCoys mad, but so far as we know
they did not start the shooting war because of it. Or maybe
they did. It's a good story.
There's another faction behind the legend that it all
started with a dispute over the ownership of a pig. Others
say it wasn't a pig at all, but a fiddle. (A fiddle does enter
into the story, but not as the cause of the war.) Some say
it was simply a matter of politics, with the two families
supporting different political parties in dispute over local
issues. And some say it was because Devil Anse Hatfield
was a captain in the Confederate Army whereas Randy
McCoy not only fought on the side of the Union but did
so as a private in the ranks. According to this faction,
when you combine the usual North-South differences of
opinion with the ancient bitterness between Rank and
ranker, you have cause enough for a dozen feuds the size
of the Hatfield-McCoy fracus. We are told, too, that Devil
Anse Hatfield killed Harmon McCoy in 1863 in the midst
of a Civil War skirmish, and that this was the caus ' the
feuding. You can take your pick of causes; or you
as many do, that all of these, and more, lay bet
blood-bath that finally came.
Devil Anse Hatfield was 27 years old at tne f

GUNS FOR
THE TYRO
HOW TO CHOOSE A HANDGUN AND LEARN TO
SHOOT IT-BY "THE MAN WHO WROTE
THE BOOK" ON THE SUBJECT
1
By ELMER KEITH

P ISTOL SHOOTING as a sport is becoming ever more popular in this

country, and target shooting is only one phase of the game. Small-game
shooting is another, and informal matches at cans or other objects is always
-

fun and good training. Trick shooting is another very interesting phase of the
handgun game. The present great demand for first class, accurate, small caliber
pistols shows the trend. Safe ranges can be set up in most localities, even in
basements in cities where the outdoor scene is too crowded.
Anyone desiring to become a good pistol shot should start with the .22 caliber.
The recoil is negligible and the report so light that pistol shooting with small
calibers can be enjoyed in settled communities, providing a suitable back stop
is found. This can be a regular target bunker, a hill of soft sand or dirt, a big
block of wood, or one of the many bullet stops now on the market.
Start right by buying the best .22 caliber auto pistol or revolver you can
afford, preferably with target sights that are fully adjustable. Then you can
sight the arm to print exactly where the sights bear on the target. While there are Handgun target shooting
many foreign automatic pistols in .22 caliber being offered, I prefer the Colt, is a sport which women,

terms with men of family.
you know where to get them. If revolvers are preferred, we have the fine Smith
& Wesson, Colt, and Ruger lines, as well as the less expensive Great Western,
Harrington and Richardson, and Iver Johnson arms, to choose from.
Let's look first at the auto pistols. If you contemplate serious match work
as the ultimate goal, then you should get the best in target arms, such as the
High Standard Super-Matic, the Colt Woodsman Match Target, or the fine

?
For general plin ing and informal target shooting or for
a gun to carry on fishing trips, the shorter barrelled auto
may be had in all makes, with or without adjustable
sights. Some makes offer both barrel lengths, interchange-
able, for an all-purpose combination. I believe the fully
adjustable sights are to be preferred and worth all they
cost. For most shooters the longer the barrel the better the
target arm because of the greater weight and sight radius;
but some oldsters may find that the shorter barrels give
them both sights in better accommodation for their older
eyes. Likewise, for handiness in carrying, the gun with the
short barrel is easier to carry on a waist belt or in a car.
For carrying on a horse or in a shoulder holster, the long
barrel is not in the way.
The auto loader has advantages; it also has its faults.
The magazines are usually slow and cranky to load, and
can become lost out of the gun if the magazine release is
pressed accidentally. If the magazine lips become battered,
they may cause jams. They require special care if they are
to function reliably in really cold weather.
The revolver is my own personal favorite in handguns
and the finest sixguns in the world are made in this country
in the Smith & Wesson, Colt, and Ruger plants. In the double
action guns with swing out cylinders, you have simul-
taneous ejection of fired cases, and these guns are very
F
lip. Wit no ~ O V -
ing breech block, the revolver offers greater sight radius
for the same over-all length of gun. (Revolver barrels are
measured separately from the cylinder, but the length of
the cylinder must also be included for true sight-length
comparison.) Malfunctions are rare here and if one occurs
or a cartridge fails to fire, you merely have to cock the
gun to bring another cartridge under the firing pin. Or,
with double action guns, you can just pull the trigger a
second time; whereas, with all auto pistols, clearing a jam
requires the use of both hands and considerably more time.
Revolver chambers can be fitted to closer tolerances than
auto pistols, and if the chambers are perfectly lined up
with the bore (as they usually are in high grade target
arms), they are just as accurate as the auto pistol with
its barrel and chamber in one piece but with looser cham- .
bering. Cheap revolvers may not line up all chambers per-
fectly with the bore when cocked. This causes inaccuracy
and has caused some shooters to believe that revolvers are
"just naturally" less accurate.
.There is no magazine to load or get lost in a revolver,
and no magazine lips to get bent and distorted. Fine double
action guns can be fired at least as fast as can the auto-
matic, and I find the double action revolver faster for
certain hits, especially on moving targets. For the woods-
---
man, trapper, camper, or hunter, these differences are
important. I use greased bullet (Continued on page 47) *': r

Problems are discussed as author Louis Corbeau (right and gunsmith
Wyatt Osburn consider plans for bedding Appel barre into its stock.
By LOUIS CORBEAU
DID YOU EVER buy or build a
fine rifle and then purposely try to
wreck it? Did you ever get a superbly
accurate barrel and deliberately set out
to burn it out as fast as possible?
That's the job I had in testing the
new Appel Process cold-formed rifle
barrel. Never heard of an Appel
barrel? Chances are you'll be hearing
lots about them in the future if my
experience was any guide, for we really
gave an Appel barrel a workout-and
in the process I worked up quite a
sweat, too. We had a rifle made up on
the Appel barrel, to test for original
accuracy, for barrel life, and for re-
tained accuracy in its old age. Many a
rifled tube will send all of its pills into
one hole when it's new, but mighty
few of them will do so when the erosive
gases of a couple of thousand rounds
have gone down their throats. But the
German-designed Appel barrel, now
made in America, upset this generaliza-
tion.
Dr. Gustav Appel developed the cold-
form process in Germany where it
helped the MG-42 compile a fine record
for barrel life in fast firing machine
guns. The Doctor claims that his rifled
barrels are smoother inside, more
accurate, longer-lived under hot loads,
and possessed of more uniform vibra-
tions when fired, than barrels made by
other methods. To gain these results,
the Appel Process uses a mandrel rod
with the rifling machined upside down
on its outside diameter. This rod is
inserted in a pre-drilled piece of gun
steel. With the mandrel in place, the

steel is subjected to a terrific pounding by a special
forging machine. This hammering forces the steel into
the grooves in the mandrel. Remove the rod and you have
the rifling on the inside of the pre-drilled steel tube. Bear
in mind that all of this machining is done while the steel
is cold. No heating and cooling processes is involved, so
there are no heat stresses to be relieved. There are no
tiny inaccuracies in the rifling resulting from uneven
expansion of steel during forging.
Because of the terrific pounding it received from the high
impact forging machine, the granular structure of the
metal is actually compressed. Because of the high impact
forging, the barrel is left in a stress-balanced condition,
which lends itself to uniform vibration on firing.
In simpler words, they claim more accuracy, over a
longer barrel life. My question was, was their claim
justified?
I had the Appel .224 barrel fitted to a Mauser 98 action
and chambered to .22-250. The 'choice of caliber was
dictated by a sincere desire to burn out the barrel in
the interests of science. Those nearly 4,000-feet-per-second
loads in the Varminter have the reputation for doing just
that. I first considered the .220 Swift, but that caliber,
although also a notorious barrel burner, has never achieved
the accuracy of the Varminter among the bench rest
fraternity. The .22-250 seemed to be the best possible
combination of land-eroding loads and pinpoint accuracy.
Looking ahead to about 3,000 explosions taking place
within inches of my skull, and with no desire to end up
cutting out paper dolls, I decided against making it a
super lightweight cannon. Although I wanted that barrel
turned down to a weight where a woodchucker could
handle it all day, I had no intention of getting recoil-
belted all over the scenery every time I touched her off.y,.
So we decided on a hunting-weight rifle and stock. ip".^+
Second only to the barrel in importance is the trigger,'
for my money at least, so I chose a Jaeger Model 50
trigger especially designed for the Mauser. It has positive
adjustment, a pull that is crisp and neat, lacking in creep-
just right for what I had in mind.
Choice of scope was a tough one. I wanted a 20X to
do the most perfect possible job of pointing it. On the
other hand, to carry it in the field after prairie dogs,
crows, and other such self-erecting targets, I needed a
light 4X. The logical compromise was an 8X Bushnell
Scope Chief. It shows me bullet (Continued on,pag< 49)
 IS YOUR GUN LEGAL?
WHERE, AND FOR WHAT?
By ALFRED J. GOERG

s HOTGUNS WOUND MORE GAME, cause more game to be

lost and wasted, than any other gun or any combination of
guns used by hunters in the United States today. Yet shotguns
are legal hunting arms in many states where rifled guns are pro-
hibited.
This is no indictment of shotguns. I like shotguns. And I like
b
. shotgun shooting, at proper targets. So do several million other
',
hunters: and of course the principal reason why shotguns wound
more game than any other gun is that shotguns are used more
times. for more kinds of game. by more hunters, than any other
gun. If they are used sometimes o n the wrong kind of game,
that is not the fault of the gun, nor is it the fault of the hunter.
.,
It is the fault of the law. And that is what I am shooting at in
this article: at the crazy muddle of inconsistencies and inanities
that exists in our hunting laws from state to state in this allegedly
united country!
I wanted to find out where. in which states. I would be uer-
mitted to use a handgun on game, and which handgun on what
game. I sent for and got the game codes, or condensations thereof.
from nearly every state in the I'nion. I got no very satisfactory
answer to my question; most states seem not to have sensed the
current upsurge of interest in handgun hunting. But 1 did get
a startling and not very flattering look at the laws of our land
regarding hunting. Some of the state laws defy interpretation;
and others reduce to interpretations so illogical as to be absurd.
Simply because the shotgun versus rifle controversy is one of
the most common (and one of the most confusing) instances of
u.

the differences in state hunting laws, let's examine it first.

As every hunter knows, many states permit the use of shotguns Plump Rocky Mountain blue grouse picked off

on deer, while prohibiting the use of rifled guns on deer or, in states permit you to shoot game with pistol.

 some instances, against any game whatever. Rifle hunters
think this kind of law is pretty silly. Lawmakers, and
some of the hunters, in the shotgun states defend the laws
as being "in the interest of public safety." They say that
thick woods, or thick population, make rifles unsafe. "The
rifled guns shoot too far, kill people or stock out of sight
of the hunter."
Neither my own experience nor the hunting casualty
statistics I've studied seem to support this argument, but-
let's say they've got a point. If so, it's a point against the
reckless hunter, not against a type of weapon. Modern
high-velocity rifle bullets disintegrate on contact with any
obstacle, even a twig; and not even the "brush cutter"
rifle bullets will go far through thick woods; not much
further than a bouncing, ricochetting ball or slug from a
shotgun barrel. Thickly populated areas might be endan-
gered by long-range bullets that missed their intended
targets, but this is a matter for education rather than legis-
lation. The educated hunter never shoots unless he can see
a sure, safe stopper for his bullet. And there must be as
many reckless shotgunners as there are reckless riflemen;
in fact, too many shotgunners depend much too much on
the false belief that their guns "won't reach much farther
than I can spit."
Shotguns loaded with No. 6 shot are legal in all states,
so far as I know, for use on upland birds, small game, or
even wildfowl. Yet many of the same states prohibit the
use of "22 caliber rifles." The lawmakers were probably
thinking of the .22 rim fire shorts of their boyhood days;
but some of our modern ".22 caliber" loads are pretty hot.
A bird or rabbit hit by one No. 6 shot in the intestines
can and will travel far and fast, too far and too fast to
be bagged; but he will almost certainly die. That one
No. 6 pellet in a rabbit is closely comparable to one .22
caliber rifle bullet in a deer. And, of course, a deer hit
in the intestines with a .22 (or even much larger) slug
may be lost. But some of our high velocity .22s produce
tissue damage and shock entirely disproportionate to the
size of the bullet; enough to bring many a gut-shot deer
to bag. Moreover, the rifleman is much more often shoot-
ing at a stationary target on which he can place his shot
for an instant kill-whereas the shotgunner is almost
always shooting at an erratic, fast-moving target. Yet one
Beautiful, powerful, beloved by many hunters, guns like
this fine .270 sporter are still outlawed by some states.
is legal and the other not. Is this because the bird or.bunny
is a smaller ahimal, must therefore suffer less?
(Some of the "laws" we hunters make for ourselves, in
the name of sportsmanship, are a little odd themselves,
under close scrutiny. For instance, that business of moving
targets. The rifle goes all out for precision: uses a sling,
scope sights, fires if at all ~ossiblefrom a kneeling, sitting,
or prone position or from a rest. Nothing pleases him
better than a shot at a standing target. He brags about
such a shot, congratulating himself on the sportsmanship
.
of a clean kill . . The shotgunner, on the other hand,
shoots standing (often off-balance; that's the luck of the
field) with practically no sights at all, at small, swiftly
moving targets~considers it utterly unsportsmanlike,
even disgusting, to shoot at a sitting bird or rabbit. ...
Understand, please, that I'm not advocating shots at sit-
ting birds or rabbits; neither am I damning shots a t
standing deer. I merely said, "It's funny.")
Most states, I found, allow shotguns to be used for deer
hunting. The .410 gauge is frowned on by some states
but is legal in others if slugs or ball loads are used. If
the gauge is not over 10 nor under 20 it is legal to use
No. 4 shot, or larger, on deer in Arkansas. But in this
same state, not only the .22 rim fire but all .224 and .228
calibers are illegal. Presumably, then, the .22 Hipower
Savage is not considered potent enough for Arkansas deer,
Just for fun, I told my neighbor, an ex-Alaska hunter,
about this regulation. His boiler pressure jumped alarm-
ingly. Why, hell, he had killed many big brown bear with
the .22 Hipower Savage! Not big enough for whitetails?
They're crazy! ... I refrained from telling him that, on,
the other side of the muddle, the state of Virginia allows
the use of .25 rim fire loads on deer. I didn't want the
old timer to have a stroke on my account.
To further confuse the average gun nut and hunter, I
picked at random some of the various states' laws and
regulations pertaining to the use of firearms in hunting.
I don't guarantee these statements; there are questions of
interpretation, questions of what is enforced and what is
not, even contradictions and exceptions in various counties
in the same state. But these are the laws as I read them,
In New Jersey, no handguns are allowed for hunting,

Many states forbid use of any rifle on any game. Some
permit small game hunting with .22s like M77 pictured.

10 gauge. (A 20 gauge shotgun load is okay; a .44

Magnum revolver bullet isn't.)
In Pennsylvania, autoloading, automatic, and semi-
automatic rifles are prohibited in all types of hunting.
All .22 and .25 rim fire cartridges are illegal. (Does this
mean that the .32 rim fire is legal?) Buckshot is illegal.
In Michigan, "No firearms other than shotgun and '
.22 caliber rim fire may be used in hunting during any
season open to the taking of deer with firearms." This is
the law at least in certain parts of the state.
In Connecticut, rifles using ammunition larger or heavier
than .22 caliber rim fire Long Rifle are okay for deer.
Shotgun ammunition with loads larger or heavier than
No. 2 shot are illegal in some areas, okay in others. (Ex-

. (Continued from Page 15)
and hits the half-dollar before it drops four
inches." We do not blame the experts for
being amazed and doubtful of the physical
possibility of such a stunt-Ojala was even
more amazed when he read he could do this
thing! As usual this incredible performance
was recorded for posterity by a writer who
saw Ojala do his drop-the-coin stuut, and
without bothering to learn how ANO does
the trick or being exact in giving details,
this writer has done Ojala an injustice. The
facts 'of this stunt are amazing enough!
Actually, ANO lays the fifty-cent piece on
the top of his drawing hand, then moves the
hand (palm down) to a horizontal position
approximately four inches above his waist-
belt and six inches forward of his gunbutt,
which by measure is seven inches below his
hipbone. He tilts his hand until the coin
slides off, then he goes for his pistol. There
is a shot, and the coin spins through the air.
This is a trick, naturally, and the "hit" is
only an illusion, since he has fired a blank
and struck the coin with his pistol barrel as
it arcs up and forward out of his holster.
The day I measured this stunt for the sake
of truth, ANO did the gag three times with-
out a miss using a factory-fresh Colt Single-
Action with 5%' barrel and one of his hol-
sters ("Hollywood Fast Draw Holster"),
which he now manufactures for sale to the
general public. Obviously, the distance the
coin drops is closer to 8" or 10" than it is to
4"; therefore, the distance, too, is in part
an optical illusion. But the real thing to
remember is that Arvo still has to make an
ultra-fast draw, then shoot in perfect timing
with his gun's striking of the coin!
A NOTHER stuut Ojala does, with either one
gun or two, is one which has won him
a lot of bets and, in my opinion, makes him
the "fastest gun7'in Hollywood. Here's the bit:
He hands a person, a single-action six-shooter
(after all pistols have been inspected to
assure their being empty) and tells the per-
son to cock the pistol and aim it at his
chest; then to pull the trigger when he sees
him start to draw. The bet is that ANO will
draw either one or both pistols-starting
them uncocked and hip-holstered-and snap
his gun, or guns, before the other person
can merely squeeze the trigger!
Impossible, you say? Well, several people
have lost money learning that it is not. Star
John Derek. who was originally taught to
draw by Ojala, can also do this stuut using
one gun, a Sheriff's model Colt Single-Action
with three-inch barrel and a holster he de-
signed for himself. Derek "took" a well-
coordinated stuntman nine out of ten tries,
for $10.00 a try, on this stunt! So let's see

Far be it from me to give away Rodd's gim-
mick-and naturally there is some trickery Order Direct Patent Pending
involved-but I will again state the truth:
the flame is shot out by the solid bullet he
fires. Think back to some of the trick-
shooters you've seen and maybe you'll find
theanswer-the air in front of a bullet has
to move pretty fast to get out of its way.
Here's one of Rodd Redwing's greatest
stunts of fast-draw showmanship: He sets a
wooden target over his steel "shooting
hoard," steps off about twenty feet and holds
a hunting knife up by its point, then tells
his audience that he is going to throw the
knife into a bullet-hole which he is going
to make in the target while the knife is in
the air, using his hip-holstered single-action
.45! Sure enough, he tosses the knife, draws
and shoots, and when the smoke clears the
knife is sticking in the edge of the bullet-
hole! This is also a trick, but perhaps the
greatest trick of the whole thing is how that
Indian can move-fast enough to get every-
thing done while his knife is flashing
through the air.

tenth-second. Some of the Hollywood gun-
fighters have stated that they can draw in
1 4 0 t h second, and that they have photo-
graphic evidence to prove their time. Not
one of them ever claimed, at least to my
knowledge, that he could draw and fire a hit
in l/lOth, *at first-I believed this thing
could be done "Hollywood-style." However,
when I began to seek the truth and the
proof, I found the answer to be negative-
tenth-second draws, getting the pistol cocked,
out and fired, have not been done. But
several of the boys honestly thought that
they had done so. I t was an understandable
miscalculation, as I think you will agree
when the whole matter is brought before
you for judgment.
The most natural and obvious timing de-
vice available to us Hollywood gunhands is
the camera with which we work.
The Mitchell studio motion picture camera
is; used throughout the world because of its
mechanical dependability. These Mitchells
may cost $13,000,00 and upward; they are
equipped with very accurate tachometers.
The opening of the shutter plus the shutter's
running speed determines the exposure time
of each frame. A sound-and-camera set up
will give a very accurate record of time, as
well as pictures of just what was done. The
camera is constant. Thus, using a Mitchell
studio camera running at the optimum speed
of 24 frames per second for correlation of
sound and image, and the variable shutter
set at the normal opening of 175 degrees,
each picture is exposed exactly l/48th
second.
It is this approximately l/50th second ex-
posure which has brought about the entire
misconception of proven l/lOth second draws

1 draws to determine their speed. They
counted the number of pictures from be-
ginning of hand movement to muzzle flash;
10 frames should equal l/5th second
(10x1/50), and five frames was accepted by
them as l/lOth (5x1/50). Some of the boys
actually have made draws in four frames.
(My own time averages somewhere around
eight frames, so I'm sort of slow!)
What they weren't taking into account is
that each frame is exposed l/50th, but while
the next un-exposed frame is moving into
the camera's aperture, the dark half of the
revolving shutter is cycling closed for one
1 50th. So the true time of each frame is
1/25th, mechanical duration, which makes a
five-frame draw actually one-fifth-second,
not l/lOth. I trust that you will see how this
error originated, and that you will agree with
my contention that we're a pretty "fast
.
crowd" . . especially since all our work is
with single-actions!
As Ed McGivem has pointed out, "The
quarter second draw squeezes the time down
to what I believe to be very close to the
limit of human reaction time and hand
speed." And this time, according to Mc-
Givem who is certainly our best authority, is
for any type gun, drawn from any type rig
or holster. Of course, it must be remembered
that his %, second minimum includes the
scoring of a hit, our l/5th does not. And
the only way any of us ever approach this
really amazing speed is by using holsters of
scientific design (Ojala was the first to
patent and market such a holster), but
which still have the appearance of the Old
Timer's rig. These holsters enabled Ojala to
evolve a new and faster sequence of drawing,
for we cock, then draw with one continuous
motion. This would have made any of the
old time gunfighters think we were all a
bunch of magicians who produced cocked
pistols out of thin air. Never were holsters,
single-action guns, and style so completely
co-ordinated as ours are today. True, the
Old Timer might put a hole in us, but he'd
sure be afire from powder bums long before
he even found his gun!
Our holsters are indeed far different from
the regulation drop-loop western holster. My
own design has no bend to it a t all, since
the holster is riveted hard-and-fast to the
gun-belt, and both belt and holster are partly
metal lined. John Derek's design is made up
of one solid piece of leather which forms
both belt and holster. Granted, these are not
as comfortable as the Old Timer's soft
'scabbard' which was worn looped over his
single-weight cartridge belt, and usually high
about his waist with no tie-down thong
cutting into his leg. But we always know
where our pistol is (a loop of whang under
or over the hammer acts as a keeper, so that
the gun won't fall out accidently), whereas
the Old Timer had to find his gun, pull it
free of holsters which could bind his pistol,
cock with his thumb, point and let go. Not
that they weren't fast, but we would have
the 'edge' all the way with our modern
holsters and guns.
Yes, our guns are also a bit different from
what you see, or think you see, in films.
While all of us use Colts or Great Western
single-action six-shooters of standard barrel
length-^i%", 5%", or 7%"-with regular
hammers, triggers, and guards, each man's
pistol is "hand tuned" until it is smooth-
working and perfectly timed. Actually only
the front sight and main-spring are very
much altered from factory condition. Both
are filed down to about half their original
size, making the pistols to speed-cock
and faster to clear leather. None of the
"pros" use Lightning Model Colts, or any
DA pistol tricked-up to look like a single-
action. However, such double-action guns
are often supplied actors who are not able
to fire a thumb-buster fast enough to suit a
director. This was the case in the film,
"Fastest Gun Alive," when Brod Crawford
has to 'fan' his gun. With a production
which ran into several thousand dollars per
day being held up by Crawford's lack of
gun skill, Carl Pitti, the Technical In-
structor, handed Brod one of the Colt DA's
that Stembridge Gun Rentals makes up for
just such occasions. These are New Service
.45 revolvers with Colt single-action grips
and ejector rods added. Brod "fanned" out
his shots, the scene was in the can, and
that's how it happened.
Well, that's about the size of it, and
maybe you can see now that we aren't trying
to bamboozle anyone .. . we're just working
guys who enjoy our jobs, when we get them,
and we try to do them better and faster than
anyone else, that's all. As for McGivem's
idea of having a grand shoot-out to see
who's the "Fastest or Top Gun in The West,"
we say, "You-all come down anytime, an'
we'll have a lot of fun shootin' fer them
silver pistols you promised the winner ...
but don't bother bringin' all them electric
devices. We got cameras an' our own rules
. .. well abide by them!" Remember, movies
are better than ever, in spite of their faults,
except there are too d a m many "East-
ems." Let's have more "Westerns!" (

out of the wagon while Larry watched the
traveling animals through powerful glasses.
The sheep soon moved into a clump of
cedars and stopped. At first we could see
only their rumps. Then the leading ram
turned his massive head and stared at us,
suspicious and alert. He was a beautiful
sight, his head held proudly erect, his beard
sweeping down across his foreparts until it
touched the ground.
"I want that lead ram," Ludwig whispered,
"but he's behind some cedar branches, and
I can't get a clear shot." After maneuvering
about a bit, he added, "Reckon I'll have to
try to slip up on him!'
"Be careful," David cautioned. "They'll
cut and run at the slightest sound."
Ludwig nodded. He checked the bolt ac-

Then t h e shot cracked. The big ran;

Ludwig burst from the screening brush
and ran toward his quarry. He scrambled
down the stony draw, eyes ahead, hell-bent
on getting his sheep. But the Aoudad had
life left in his rugged frame. Apparently, he
heard Ludwig coming. He turned and made
a mighty effort to follow the ewes.

weighed 250 pounds, had a horn spread of
26 inches at the widest point. Ludwig's first
shot had placed the 180-grain bullet j u s t
back of the animal's shoulder, missing the
lungs; but his second shot shattered the
shoulder, and blasted the heart.
The Aoudad or Barbary sheep does very
well in the American Southwest and, unlike
the other unusual Rickenbacker ranch im-
ports, this one can be found also i n one
other place on this continent: in New
Mexico, where a wild herd of some 200 an-
imals roams some of the roughest terrain in
America under the careful protection of the
New Mexico Department oi Game and Fish,
but available to hunters provided you are
lucky enough to draw one of the strictly
limited special permits for them. In New
Mexico where they are hunted, they are ex-
tremely wild and difficult to approach. A
much smaller herd, planted in a non-hunt-
ing, sightseeing area, are less wary. They
are tricky targets, their tawny coats blending
well into the coloring of the terrain they fre-
quent; and since both ewes and ranis are
heavily homed, it is often very difficult to
distinguish one from the other at a distance.
Like the Rickenbackers, the New Mexico
Department is studying the animals, learning
their habits and needs, finding out whether
or not they are subject to diseases dangerous
to other local game or domestic animals, in
the hope that here may be a new trophy for
American hunters. The meat has much the
flavor of venison.
We dressed Ludwig's kill quickly, for time
was passing and Larry had to get his Axis.
When the cleaning job was finished, we hung
the carcass in a tree to wait for the ranch
truck, and we all piled back into the station
wagon.
Now ~ a r r ytook the favored seat, and our
attention was centered on getting an Axis
buck. The time was just right,

hovered over the cedars, and game was on
the move.. Our station wagon took to the
back pasture trails, the remote sections of
the ranch. Once we spotted two Sambur
deer, browsing less than a hundred yards
off the trail to our right. Later, we sighted
a herd of nine Sika deer from Japan. These
deer trooped along for a spell, paralleling
our car at a discreet distance. There were
two nice bucks in the herd, but Larry had
his mind set on a fawn-spotted Axis, and
nothing else would satisfy him.
Then, all of a sudden, an animal ap-
peared before us. It was about the size of a
Brahma cow. David slowed the wagon so
we could get a good look at it. Two more
of these animals stepped out of a dark thick-
et and stood beside the first. Their horns
were black and about 18 inches long. Stand-
ing motionless, their brown bodies were
scarcely visible against the tangle of scrub
oaks. David told us they were elands, sup-
posed to be the largest of the antelopes.
And all around the elands were their tiny
cousins, the black buck antelopes. They were
almost exactly the opposite of the elands in
nature. The elands were quiet and dignified,
while their small kin were active and frisky.
The little fellows are naturally a red-tan
color, with white underparts, except bucks
which have reached three years of age. Then,
usually, black appears around the head and
down the back, and the spiral horns turn a
glossy black. These are the trophy heads
the hunters seek.
"Watch this," David said, and gave the
horn a toot. As if activated by one string,
every black buck antelope jumped straight
up, five or six feet, then bounded away
toward the skyline in weird pogo-stick jumps.
We were still laughing at the little an-
imals' antics when the car rounded a bend
and Larry saw his Axis. We counted fifteen
in the herd before they spotted us and ran.
In the lead, running in long, graceful bounds,
was a buck of extraordinary beauty. He had
six-point antlers (ten points is the world's
record) and a l a r g e fawn-spotted bod;

Larry wouldn't let us follow the herd with
the station wagon, and we watched them
race across the pasture and come to a stop
on top of a high ridge some 300 yards away.
"It'll be more fun stalking them, anyway,"
Larry explained. He eased out of the wagon
and lost himself in the thick brush that
twisted snake-like along the edge of the
pasture. NEW M O S S B E R G
We waited, every bit as tense as we had
been earlier when Ludwig was stalking his
sheep. We kept the deer in our glasses, and To make your Christmas selection easy

Finally we heard Larry's call, "I got him!"
and we ran for the ridge.
The buck was a fine specimen, perfectly
proportioned, and beautifully marked. One
30-06 bullet back of the shoulder, at 120
yards, had dropped him. Just as we had done
with Ludwig's sheep, we swung Larry's 167-

ne hunter remarked. Accommodations are '
?expensive, and nice places to stay can be
~ u n d near the ranch. "Of course," and
)avid smiled when he said this, "if a fellow
eally wants to rough it, we have two camp
ouses on the ranch, either one of which a
unter may use at no cost. Both places are
quipped with water, lights-and path."
Bear Creek Ranch is not just a play place
or the rich; it is geared to fit the average
ian looking for a good time and good hunt-
ng of an unusual type. The hunters who
ome here are a cosmopolitan lot, widely
ssorted as to type and background. The
;uns they bring are widely assorted, too.
loth of the Houston hunters, Rosmarin and
irand, brought .30-06 bolt actions equipped
Hill 4X scopes, used 180-grain soft point
illcts. But many varieties of guns and loads
lave been used on Rickenbacker's exotic
ame. One hunter from Maryland brought
lown a huge Berasingha buck with one 180-
;rain soft point from a cut-down .30-40 Krag.
)thers have shot Aoudads, Sikas, black buck
ntelopes, and elands with everything from
32 carbines through rough as-is Army
ipringfields to fine .270 sporters and high-
elocity Weatherbys. Here, as elsewhere, "it
in't the gun; it's what you can do with it."

MEXICO'S MACHINE .GUN

MAESTRO
(Continued from page 21)
directed that the Indian should be given two
of the mules which had been seized from a
rich man's hacienda for use in the army.
Also-and this is a very nice touch-he took
the trouble to write and sign a statement
that the mules belonged to the Indian and
had not been stolen. Of course, the man
went off singing his praises, and it was
incidents like this that caused the Indians
to crowd into his ranks.
It was this particular incident that led to
the designing of Mendoza's most famous
weapon. Villa had been much impressed by
that very dead mule, and he asked Mendoza
to design a machine-gun. Like Madero, he
specified that it should make a lot of noise
and smoke, but he also specified that it
should be as simple as possible. "Some of
the boys," he explained frankly, "are kind
of simple themselves." Mendoza designed a
7 mm gun with two barrels, hand cranked
somewhat like the gardner, that was exactly
what Pancho wanted. It was first used
during the battle of Casas Grandes, and also
played an important part in the battle for
Ciudad Juirez. It was later immortalized in
the popular ballad "Seven Leagues" (which
was the name of Pancho's favorite horse) :
At three in the afternoon
The locomotive whistled;
Hooray for Villa, boys,
And set up that machine-gun.
At three in the afternoon
The locomotive whistled.
When Pancho's boys got their machine-guns
set up, quite a few Federal locomotives
stopped whistling.
After the Revolution had been won Men-
doza went back to manufacturing farm
implements; but after all- the excitement,
the work seemed tame. The designing of
guns was in his blood by now, and he gave
up his plows for the second (and last) time.
He wanted to accept the challenge of in-
venting better, more efficient weapons than
the rather primitive affairs he produced
under stress during the Revolution. He also
wanted to satisfy a deep patriotic ambition.
which was to provide the ordinary soldier-
the humble Mexican GI-with superior arms.
There is no smile, no twinkle in his eyes,
when he speaks of this dream. "I wish I
could tell you truly," he aavs. "hnw nrn-

foundly moved I was during the. Revolution
by the courage and self-denial of the
Mexican soldiers. 1 decided to serve my
country in the only way I could, by devoting
my life to studying and designing better
weapons ... weapons that would be as
Mexican as I could make them."
Mendoza speaks Spanish, of course, and
perhaps in English this declaration sounds
a bit flowery. But he abandoned his profit-
able business, took his wife and small
children to Mexico City, and haunted the
National Arms Factory, asking for a job,
any job, any job whatever, no matter how
modest. He had mamed in August of 1910,
only three months before the Revolution
broke out, and now there were the children
to s u p p o ~as well as his wife, hut Seiiora
Mendoza shared and encouraged his dream.
Finally he was given work right where he
wanted it, in the machine-gun shops.
He skips over the next years. He merely
says that he worked, studied, and waited.
But his patience must have been next to
heroic, because it was not until 1929, almost
twenty years after he designed the cannon
for Don Francisco, that he finally received
au Army directive to design a gun for the
soldiers he had vowed to serve. On the 12th
of November of that year, the Department of
Military Manufactures gave him written in-
structions to devote all of his time to
designing an automatic rifle. He was to
incorporate the hest features of similar
weapons from other countries, but the Mex-
ican version was to be simpler and lighter.
Here was the opportunity for which he
had hoped and prepared himself over so
many years. He designed a gun that he
believed would fulfill all of the Army's
requirements, and prayerfully submitted his
models. The gun was under consideration for
a heartbreakiigly long time. It was subjected
to innumerable comparative tats. A few
trifling changes were requested and made.
At last, in a Presidential Decree dated
October 31, 1934, he. , p w his dream come
true: the Mendoza 7 mm light machine rifle
was adopted as standard by the Mexican
Army and put into production.
Great secrecy had surrounded Mendoza's
work. The actual adoption of the new gun
occurred in December of 1933, nearly a year
before the official pronouncement. Full pro-
duction of the Mendoza LMG at the National
Anns Factom was ordered bv June of 1934.

GUNS AND GUNNERS OF THE FEUDING CLANS
(Continued from page 24)
and carried out his orders without question.
He owned thousands of acres of land and had
thirteen children, four girls and nine boys.
The original Hatfield home was at the head
of Island Creek in Logan County, W. Va.
Randy McCoy was a man of strong
physique, with dark hair and gray-blue eyes.
He was twenty years older than Hatfield at
the time the trouble began. McCoy built his
home only a few miles from that of the
Hatfields but across the line in Polk County,
Kentucky.
The real war seems to have started in
August of 1882, when Elias and Ellison Hat:
field. Anse's brothers, rode into Polk County,
Kentucky, and got embroiled with Randy
McCoy and his sons, Phemar, Tolbert, and
Little Randy. (Or maybe it began well be-
fore that. Nobody knows, for certain.) Any-
way, according to newspaper reports of that
time, on this August day in 1882, Tolbert
McCoy badgered Elias into a quarrel and
struck him to the ground. Ellison Hatfield
leaped to the aid of his brother, wliereupon
Tolbert pulled his knife and stabbed Ellison.
Then Little Randy McCoy entered the de-
bate, also with a knife, and stabbed Ellison
again in the side. Elias Hatfield tried to help
his brother but was driven back by Floyd
running to the scene and arrested the Mc-
Coys. Joe Hatfield, another constable, ar-
rived next, took charge of the McCoys and
sent Matt off to fetch Devil Anse.
When Anse arrived he .ordered that his
wounded brother, Ellison, be removed to the
home of Anderson Farrell and that Tolbert,
Phemar, and Little Randy McCoy he ar-
rested and kept under guard until it was
learned if Ellison would survive. "If Ellison
dies, then so do these three McCoys," said
Devil Anse.
On the third day Sarah McCoy, mother
of the boys held prisoners, was allowed to
see them. but the Hatfields turned a deaf ear
to her pieadings. Also on the third day WOI
k hand on New Year's night of 1888 when his
amved that Ellison had died. Without fur-
ther ado, the McCoys were rowed from the
West Virginia side across the river to the
Kentucky side. Little Randy witneaaed the
death of his two brothers; then the fifteen-
year-old lad was shot down also.
Old Randy McCoy said he would handle
the matter according to the letter of the
law, but it was not to be. Three of his sons
were gone; only himself, young Calvin and
Jim remained of the McCoy menfolk. Mc-
Coy appealed to Governor Knott of Ken-
tucky, who issued indictments for a number
of the Hatfield clan. These papers were
forwarded to Governor Jacob Jackson at
Charleston, West Virginia, but they were
never served.
From here on, the story grows even
bloodier and more involved. In the fall of
1886, Devil Anse was convinced that the
wife of Bill Daniels, a Hatfield partisan,
was carrying news to the McCoy camp. A
party of men, allegedly Hatfields,' descended
upon the Daniels home, grabbed the sus-
pected spy and beat her to death with a
whip made from a cow's tail! Not content
with this they dashed into the house and
beat the woman's aged mother so badly that
she wes crippled.
The woman who was flogged to death was
ihe sister of Jeff McCoy, one of Randy Mc-
Coy's relatives. Another McCoy woman,
Nancy McCoy, had married Devil Anse's son,
Jonse. One day, Jeff McCoy came to Jonse
and Nancy and told them that he had killed
a man and wanted them to hide him, be-
lieving he would be safe there in a Hatfield
home since the lawmen seeking him were
Hatfield men. He was .wrong. Another of
Anse's sons, Cap Hatfield, learned of the
killing, arrested Jeff in Jonse's house, and,
aided by one Tom Wallace, killed Jeff "as
he tried to escape." Cap Hatfield was a con-
stable who seems to have made his office
serve his own ends!
Not long later, Jeff's brothers, Lake a"d
Jake, capt&ed Tom Wallace and put him
in the jail at Pikeville, county seat of Pike
County. And not long after chat, Cap Hat-
field helped Wallace to escape. .Whereupon
the McCoys are said to have offe~eda nice
reward for the capture or scalp of Tom Wal-
lace. The story is that a heavily armed
stranger walked into Pikeville one day and
displayed a red-haired scalp to Jake and
Lark McCoy. Tom Wallace was red-headed.
Jake and Lark, we are told, paid off.
The feud became so widspread that law-
enforcement became a t r i g of politics
rather than of duty. The McCoy vote in
Kentucky was a large one and the governor
at Frankfort promised to do all in his power
to have Devil Anse brought to justice. On
the other hand the Hatfield vote was equally
potent in West Virginia, and authorities
there refused to be unduly swayed by out-of-
state pressures.
But Devil Anse Hatfield overplayed his
forces swooped down upon the home of
old Randy McCoy. and demanded that
Randy and his son, Calvin, surrender. Anse
was infuriated because McCoy had induced
the governor of Kentucky to place a price
upon Hatfield heads, and the old man of
the Hatfield's had been forced to live under
..
constant guard even in his own home. With
the attacking force was "Cotton-top" Mounts
and Tom Mitchell. Mounts called to the in-
mates of the McCoy home, but was informed
by a daughter, fifteen-year-old Allifair Mc-
Coy, that her father was not at home.
Mounts yelled, "Yo're a-lyin',,damn yuh!"
And, without further ado, leveled his rifle
and killed the girl.
Quickly, the dead girl was dragged into
the house. But the Hatfields climbed onto
the roof and set it afire. Desperate hands
made futile efforts to put out the flame as
it ate through the dry shingles, but the water
supply was soon exhausted and Calvin and
Randy McCoy used buttermilk in further
attempts to save the dwelling.
It was a hopeless effort. The attackers
were closing in. Randy McCoy saw Tom
Mitchell about to fire the door, and shot
off several of his fingers. With that, the en-
tire Hatfield clan present rushed the door
and broke it down. But that shot must have
made them wary since, when they entered
the burning house, Randy and Calvin had
escaped outside to the protection of a huge
boulder, from which vantage point they
poured bullets into the Hatfield ranks. How-
ever, their aim was mighty wild for no one
was- hit. But being shot at, even by bad
marksmen, is no fun and Devil Anse and his
crew m o u n t d . their horses and rode back to
Peter Creek. Little Allifair was laid to rest
beside the bodies of her brothers.
Again Randy McCoy appealed to the gov-
ernor for protection until finally the chief
executive of Kentucky demanded the sur-
render of Devil Anse Hatfield. But to no
avail. The officers sent for the Hatfields
always left without them, usually glad to get
back .safely to their own stamping grounds.
Although detectives had been sent from far
and near to. capture the Hatfields, Old Devil
Anse, his sons, Cap and Jonse, and their
uncle, Jim Vance, went uncaptured and for
the most part unmolested.
Then Val Hatfield was arrested and sent
to prison for his part in the McCoy killings.
His stay in prison was not long, however,
for he soon died from worry and confine-
ment. His death brought Devil Anse again
into action. The McCoys were not well OT-
ganized, but under the new leadership of
one Frank Phillips of Pikeville, they were
formidable enough. Jim Vance was killed, a
few days later, by a group of McCoy men
led by Phillips.
The next outbreak was near Grapevine
Creek when Tom Mitchell, Cap Hatfield,
Devil Anse, Indian Hatfield, Lee White, and
French Ellis were attacked by a strong force
of McCoy men, again under the leadership
of Frank Phillips. The fight lasted for sev-
eral hours. Twenty of the McCoy attackers
were wounded when Phillips finally gath-
cred his men and rode back to Kentucky;
and Cap Hatfield had killed Bud McCoy,
and Indian Hatfield had been killed by a
McCoy bullet through his brain. This was
better shooting, though the circumstances
were hardlv such as to demand marksman-
ship. This was a slug-out, at close quarters.
Shortly after this battle, Jonse left the
area for Washington, and his brother, Cap
Hatfield, became Devil Anse's chief lieu-
tenant. ~ u Jonse
t did not remain away for
long. He returned to his home town and
Doc Ellis arrested him.
He was convicted and sent to prison for
life. Several days after the trial, Doc Ellis
was found dead on the trail, shot, allegedly
by Elias Hatfield. Jonse Hatfield was re-
leased from Moundsville after not too many
years, chiefly through the political influence
of his father, old Devil Anse.

Cotton-top Mounts' killing of the young
McCoy girl had caused the regional senti-
ment to pile up against Anse and his fol-
For H u n t e r s
lowers, and soon law-enforcement 05cers
were able to make legal arrests. But it was
not until 1890 that Mounts paid the price
for that killing. On February 19th of that
year he was hanged at Pikeville. The McCoy
family moved to Pikeville to avoid further
bloodshed.
But the vendetta did not die. There was
still plenty of hatred and plenty of gunplay.
The apparent last of it was in 1896 when
Anse's second son, Cap, shot by one John
Rutherfold. Cap's stepson, a teenage boy
named Joe Glen, grabbed a gun and killed
one McCoy partisan and wounded an inno-
cent bystander. Maybe that was the end.
Devil Anse Hatfield died a natural death
in 1921. Randy McCoy, the leader of that
clan, had passed on some years before at
the ripe age of ninety. Tennis Hatfield had
a life-size statue of his father carved in Italy
at a cost of $10,000, and it stands today in

the clan burial ground in West Virginia. All
of Devil Anse's children who are dead, died,
in bed except Elias and Troy, who were
killed in 1911 in a bar-room fight.
Four Hatfield sons (Joe, Tennis, Willis,
and Elliot) were too young at the, time of
the fighting to participate in it. And in the
decades since the guns stopped talking, both
families have turned their steps along the
paths of peace. During the 1920's, both Ten-
nis and Joe Hatfield served as Sheriff of
Logan County, and a first cousin, Henry D.
Hatfield, was elected in 1913 as Governor
of West Virginia. In 1928, he was elected to
the United States Senate. Most of the old
hatreds are forgotten, or at least ignored,
even by the McCoys. In 1926, Jim McCoy,
then an old man, posed for a picture with
Tennis Hatfield and Cap Hatfield's son, Elba.
Today, the old Hatfield homestead at the
head of Island Creek stands beautifully re-
modeled, thanks to Tennis who spent a for-
tune on it.

the claims are justified, whether they are
provable or not. It is often difficult, even im-
possible, to prove even the truth about old
weapons, as collectors have learned to their
sorrow. But there were scores, possibly hun-
dreds of guns used in the "feudin'," and
many are still in existence.
Certainly the oddest of the guns said to
have figured in the Hatfield-McCoy war was
a short-barrelled rifle action built into the
neck of a violin. It was an ingenious device:
a .44 caliber gun firmly imbedded in the
upper inches of the fiddle's neck, the muzzle
opening at the top of the scroll, the rabbit-
eared hammer sticking up among the tuning
pins, and the trigger hanging within cozy
reach of the fiddler's fingers. It is said to
have belonged to a Hatfield. History does
not record whether or not it ever added its
.44 calibered bark to the staccato beat of a
hoedown frolic, but one can imagine that its
user must have enjoyed a peculiar sense of
power as he fingered this by-lingual instru-
ment. And woe to him who failed to pay
the fiddler!
A letter from Ewe11 Hatfield of Charles-
ton, West Virginia, offers some interesting
sidelights on one Hatfield gun: "Regarding
the gun that belonged to my grandfather,
Anderson Hatfield, it .was a Winchester
.45-90and the serial number was 96979. It
was given to my father, Dr. Elliot R. Hat-
field, by my grandfather. My father left it
to me. I know that it was used by him dur-
ing the greater part of the feud. This can
be verified by my two uncles that are living
(Joe T. and Willis Hatfield) and by my
aunt, Bettie Caldwell. They are- the three
children of Anderson Hatfield who are still
...
living. This is the same gun that Jonse
Hatfield, the oldest son, was carrying when
a party from Kentucky came over to West
Virginia, captured him and took him back
to Kentucky. He threw the gurf down and
made a small place (scar?) on the gun. My
grandfather got it back shortly.
"Among other things he had killed sev-
eral black bears with it. Also I heard tell '
about the time that he shot at this buck .
deer that was running and the bullet going
through him and out the other side and
killing a doe that was carrying a fawn;
three deer killed with one shot. This was
60 to 70 years ago and the game laws were
not the same. Those days there were no
roadside stands as there are today and the
rifle helped get a meal quite often. This was
done by barking a squirrel, or shooting into

it has good resolving power. It proved to
be a wise choice, and functioned perfectly
during the long, jolting test. To hold it on

simple, sturdy, and lacking in springiness.

But even before the stock was inletted,
Iyatt and I gave in to temptation. We
istened the scope on its Buehler mounts to
from Norm Thompson ie barreled action which was still in the
hite. We slapped the gun into an old issue
[auser Stock which allowed it to rattle
round a bit. While Wyatt was fitting it
)gether, I ran up a box of handloads on
Wild BO is bench. I put 35 grains of DuPont #4064
FRONTIER SHIKI ehind the 55 grain Sierra bullets, of which
(e had obtained 5,000 for the test.
Wyatt took a proof load out of the bench
rawer and stepped out behind the shop.
[e put the muzzle in the testing pipe and
inched her off. It didn't even flatten the
rimer, so we were off and running.
It was too far to the range, but there was

list three shots for Wyatt to move it onto

lount screws and fired six more shots. The
roup he made on the side of the tomato
rate was about one and one half inches!
Ie was smiling when he straightened up
rom examining the target. "Considering the
andicap of this stock," he said, "I'm willing

I fired 2,000 rounds through it before the
stock was finished!
The actual firing of the gun being tested
was done over sandbags on the trunk of the
car out in the gravel pit. Firing ultra-hot
loads, I got a .group of five shots measured
just .725" between extreme centers. However,
the best ten shot group measured 391". That
isn't going to take any world's record, I
know, but wait a m i n u t e t h o s e groups were
fired from a gun weighing nine and one
half pounds complete, not thirty! And the
scope was eight power, not eighteen. And a
trunk lid is definitely not a bench rest.
In addition, it must be remembered that
the load being fired was not chosen for
accuracy, but for speed alone. These groups
were fired with 36.9 grains of DuPmt 4064
behind a fifty-five grain Sierra bullet. Slide
rule velocity is within inches of being 4,000
feet per second. The barrel was accurate, no
question of that. With one loading which
was much too hot, three out of five shots
keyhold, with the bullet being driven too
fast to stabilize. Even with three keyholing
bullets, the total group was just three inches,
which was once considered accurate.
So the Appel barrel when new was
accurate. Now the next question was,
"Accurate for how long?"
I upped the powder charges slowly, a tenth
of a grain at a time until I was tamping the
case full of #4064. I do not recommend this
load. It is too hot. It is dangerous. It did not
produce any accuracy. According to the
ballistic tables, at least, I was well over
4,000 feet per second. That load must have
subjected the fine steel of that rifling to a
tremendous erosive effect of blistering gases
at terrific speed. Primers flattened badly,
extraction became difficult,. and when one
primer came right out of the pocket, I
moved back to 38 grains, which is still
hotter'n the breath of a goat dining on
chili peppers.
All loads in this test were placed in Norma
.250 cases, full-length resized to hold the .22
bullet. Norma cases have a reputation for
thicker brass, which weighing two hundred
"case fulls" of each proved to be correct. I
found that Norma cases held 3/10 of a grain
less powder than comparable American brass.
This reduced case capacity and undoubtedly
caused even higher pressures and velocities
than we had figured. Norma cases also have
the reputation of being made of good stuff.
In my book, it is well earned. They took a
brutal beating. Some of them were loaded
with over-maximum loads ten times, and
still came back for more. I discarded more
cases from my own clumsiness with the
loading tools than from wearing out in the
chamber.
No load fired in this rifle could be called
anything but hot. No one should approach
any of the maximum loads we used unless
he approaches them cautiously, a grain at a
time and then a tenth of a grain at a time.
Reason for this treatment was our attempt
to pack a lifetime of shooting through that
barrel in a few weeks.
The old beef of the bench rest fraternity
is that a barrel is worn out and ready for
the scrap heap by the time they have worked
out a good load for it. To see if that
was going to be true of the Appel barrel, I
put that 4,000 feet per second load into
each of 1,000 shots! If one man's shoulder
takes all of that beating, the muzzle blast

is apt to leave one with a permanent set
of crossed eyes, and with fewer fillings in
one's teeth.
3 KILLING PATTERNS
To help soak up some of the beating,
and to get other shooting skills to properly
evaluate the rifle, I enlisted help. I t wasn't
hard to find several good riflemen who were
anxious to get off a couple of hundred well-
aimed shots.
The best group was fired by one of my
friends, and measured .583" for five shots
at one hundred yards. I told him it was
ninety percent luck and I think he agrees
with me. When that group was fired, the
barrel age was 1,158 rounds.
We reloaded evenings and we fired days,
and the results continued to be good.
At fifteen hundred rounds, the best group
was one that measured .795" for ten shots.
Close visual examination of the rifling
showed no signs of discoloring at the throat
or wear on the lands.
Dr. Appel claims that his process results
in a barrel which vibrates uniformly, so a
few comments on the rifle's ability to react
to heat are worthy of mention. The first shot,
from a completely cold barrel, would land
one and a half inches low and an inch to the MODIFIED
left of the aiming bull. The second shot, from OPEN 40 YARDS

with a barrel so hot that it would
cause a leather shooting glove to smoke,
we would switch over and fire a carefully
aimed ten shot group for record. We con-
tinued this sort of testing all through the
second thousand rounds. When the log book
showed 2,000 rounds, all hot loads, we went
back to the bench rest.
In my hurry to get to that significant 2,000
round mark, I had subjected both myself and
the gun to a marathon of firing on Saturday
by Clark S. Campbell afternoon. I fired as rapidly as I could
reload and sent four hundred loads through
her in three and one half hours. The barrel
was charring the wood when I quit. No one
would shoot a target rifle like that. I was
leaning over backwards to give it a true
torture test.
After supper Saturday, I loaded up some
light rounds of 34.5 grains of Hodgdon
powder #4895. I wanted to get some real
accuracy figures on Sunday.
We had a perfect day Sunday, zero wind,
thick overcast and a good light on the
targets. I fired just one target to find the
point of impact of the lighter load. It was
1 postpaid quickly moved up and I settled down to do
some serious shooting.
The first shot drilled into the black. The
second lit an inch and a half to the right.
I was flabbergasted, and immediately began
checking to see if any screws had worked
loose. My pals gave me the horse laugh and
told me to finish the group. I finished it,
but didn't bother to measure. It looked like
I had shot it with an inaccurate sling shot.

fire rifles of .25 caliber or larger (except

okay.
In Wisconsin, big rifles are illegal for
deer, and .22 rim fire rifles and .410 gauge
shotguns are illegal for bear and deer. No
upland game can be taken legally with .22
rim fire. Handguns of .22 caliber come
under the same regulations as the .22 rifle,

In North Dakota, slugs or 20 gauge and

deer providing the cartridge is 1%" long
or longer.
In South Dakota it is illegal to hunt deer
with buck shot, slugs, or ball that weigh
under % ounce. Rifles may be .22 caliber
but bullets (or cartridges?) must be two
