WANTS TOREMOVE
LITTLE LUMP ON A
GUN BEFORE USING

One of the fair sex had Just made
perfect score. five clean misses, and
the coach proceeded to hold an inquest
for the purpose of discovering the
cause of this consistent performance.
Like most beginners. she blamed it
all on the rife, and refused to believe
her holding was at fault. The coach
thought otherwise and continued his
questions.
Finally the lady became irritated at
not being permitted to continue firing.
Il tell you the rife is no good, so
you can just get me another. Every
time ! fired ! saw the bullseye through
that foolish little peephole you make
me use. It's not my fault If the bull

I'm not SO sure about that" the
coach persisted Are you positive
you lined up the front sight correct
ly?"
For moment the fair one was puz-
zled. then with gesture of relief she
settled the matter for all time. If
you mean that lump on the front end
of the barrel that is always getting in
the way, / certainly did not, and If
there Is any way to remove the thing.
