    CSP is what you make it.

    A picture of your gun is worth 1,000 words. A crappy picture is only worth 100.

    I picked one up last night in the local Barnes & Nobles. oops, I should say my Wife did as a surprize for me
    LOL got to love them.

    Really nice calendar, photos and history tidbits in it ...

    "Although no sculptured marble should rise to their memory,
    nor engraved stone bear record of their deeds,
    yet will their remembrance be as lasting as the land they honored."

  3. Default M1903 on NRA calendar - the 'Dad Farr' NM rifle?

    Could that M1903 possibly be the 'Dad Farr' NM rifle used to set the record score at the 1921 National Matches? That is in the National Firearms Museum, as I recall.

    Looks like his homemade spotting scope - one-half of a pair of opera glasses - noted in one of Major Culver's 'Sea Stories' on this site.
