Ashland Mod 60-1 Target

[sandwtrader]

A very nice 60-1 came to a gun show near me last week end. Has Target rear sight and tall ramp front sight. SN ALU33xx. Since there were 660 made in 1986 for Ashland, I assume everybody has at least 1, but after 10 years, I finally have mine.Too bad no box or papers, but at least I have the gun.

Congrats! I have the same gun flying in from GB next week. They are nice and scarce. I plan to shoot mine a lot.

I am in the 60-1 Club. It is a good conversation piece.

I think the reason they only made 660 of those was that noboby wanted them in the first place, when they came out. I remember back in highschool, the local neighborhood fishing/gunshop/hangout had one in the case for like a year and a half. I think he ended up almost giving it away.

I saw one back in the old days. I never liked that godawful batwing front sight. A smaller "K" style ramp would've looked better, IMHO.

Good buy ---
They are a very useful little gun. Mine is quite accurate with 158 grain SWC ammo. The front sight WOULD have looked a little better setting on a ramp but I appreciate it for what it is and shoot and carry it often on ATV and tractor.

This Bianchi Accu-Mold holster works for me as it protects that rear sight from damage/snagging and is pretty indestructible around machinery.
