Someday I'll tell you about the time I took a teenager hunting who was ADHD. I didn't know it until we got home the second day and his mother said, "Oh, he forgot to take his medicine this morning.

She helped me set up a new die set I bought, and she actually seemed to really get it. I let her keep one with no primer or powder but with bullet installed. She was lubing my cases, and even sized a few, not bad for a six year old. Wont let her be there when we prime for a while, but she is real interested. I am ordering 30carbine chamber inserts for their 30-06 1917s so they can get started on them sooner. Here are the rifles in question I did for my little ladies. Both are Winny 1917s that were sported part way when I got them(not very good jobs and not done) I cleaned them up and made the front and rear rings level for the scope mounts. I blued them cut the barrels back and further modified the stocks to fit the girls. Both still have the original vintage stock and barrels that are in good shape.

I love that action, its sooo strong, and really is very smooth once you get used to the charge(program does not like the other word)on close nature of it. I have one in 300WM, that will soon go back to 30-06, as I now have a standard bolt for it, its really a P14 Brit, but seems like it will work ok in 30-06 with the new bolt and barrel. I really just dont need a 300, especially with my new 30-06 load.

That is one of the few remington actions that I like. I would rather have a 300WM on the P14 than the mauser that I have but it was a cheapie when I bought it.

We have gone out 3 more times since then and got weathered out on the 4th time last Nov. They enjoyed it so much that I gave the girl a Henry 22 lever and the boy an SKS for Christmas in 07, along with a good supply of ammo. By Aug when I was back up they had shot it all up so I gave them some more. Over the 4 times I have taken them out - would have been more often, but they live 6 hrs from me - they have shot about 40 different weapons - American, German, British & ruskie - ranging from a Ruger Bearcat to a BAR and everything in between. The girl doesn't like the full power rifles like a Garand or 98k Mauser altho she does OK with an FN FAL. Also does pretty good with a Thompson. Yep, I got them both hooked, Quick!
