Back in about 1965 when I was a young pup, I got a chance to do some law enforcement work. I traded a 94 Winchester to a gun shop for a used model 15 and went to work. It was a little dept. in a little town, and late one afternoon one of the guys took me outside of town to shoot at some liquor bottles alongside the hwy., to confirm that I could shoot well enough to use it. We had on old Star loading machine in the basement of the dept., and the guys would load their own duty ammo on it. One wall of the room was unfinished and still dirt, and you could test your load by firing into it. After a few months, I got an opportunity to work at a state institution where arms were not required and they pay was 300 a month, compared to the 285 a month the police job paid...so on I went and never looked back. The model 15 served me well for some years afterward, mostly shooting surplus fmj military ammo...but eventually got traded off for a deer rifle. Oh.... the nostalgia !
