June 1942 American Rifleman.
I'm not quite sure what to think of the chimp brandishing a revolver.

American Rifleman April 1951. The cover is a smallbore range at Santa Barbara, Calif. I am willing to be it no longer looks like this......probably a ton of homes or a shopping mall built on it now.

American Rifleman May 1951. Cover is about an article on barrel straightening. I like the advertisement on the back cover.

American Rifleman March 1965. It has the disassembly instructions and IPB for the Browning Medalist. Comes in handy as I have one. The rear cover advertisement is much older, but I like it.

The American Rifleman, November 1942.
A brief item on the STEN Gun was included.
Ammo was hard to get through commercial channels and an ad was placed wanting to buy quantities of ammo that were already in the hands of shooters.

December 1942 American Rifleman.
H&R was advertising its Reising SMG and Melvin Johnson was selling his self-loading rifle and LMG. (Johnson was a frequent advertiser of his products).

Pretty fancy duds on the point man. Had a Remington Model 37 with original iron sights, some one offered me about twice what I paid for it..... Have shot the S&W SS Target gun, but I prefer the H&R version.

One of my mentors was a Winchester and Marlin guy. The only Remington he owned was a Model 37 and nobody could pry that one away from him. It sure was a shooter!

Understand that very well. I have a Winchester 52D that I feel the same way about.

I do have an N frame .45 ACP, I do like the advertisement for the M1917. I have (blasphemy) a Colt, but a M1909 in .45 Colt.

April 1940 American Rifleman. Cover photo is of "Pasadena Police Rifle Range, in Eaton's Canyon". I'm going to speculate that it doesn't look like that anymore - if its still there.

About 15 years ago I could’ve spammed this thread to death.
A buddy & I had scored a collection of every issue of American Rifleman from early-30s to early-60, plus a goodly number of G&A that we kept in a hunting cabin.
Sadly they were destroyed by a fire.
