My Adak 44 Magnum resurfaces after 36 years!

Then...

...and now.

Not long ago I made contact with my old Adak buddy Mikel (Cliff) Garman who bought my 44mag when I left the island. I loved that rifle, but for the life of me I couldn't remember who I sold it to before I returned home. I was surprised to discover that he had it, so I asked Mike to send me the rifle specs. Mike emailed me this info and photos. Talk about a blast from the past! Check out the holes in the stock to carry extra rounds. That's so cool! Thanks so much Mike.

"The 44 is a model 94 1973 Winchester lever action 44 Mag. The bluing is worn completely off of it and i re-varnished the forearm and stock about 15 years ago. I mounted a silver dollar in the stock that my dad gave me and the stock is drilled to hold 7 bullets in the top back part."

I had such fond memories of this rifle at that time that I recently bought another 44 magnum rifle and taught myself how to reload for it. I also created a blog on the rifle and a 44mag reloading page.
