I inherited a model 74 last year. Supposedly, they are quite accurate. I think last production year was 1955.

Yep, 1939 to 1955. The one I have was manufactured in 1941. Yes, they are very accurate.

OK, educate me... What are “Star Targets”? Why did the vacuum explode?

A brand name for a form of Tannerite. A binary explosive. Nitrogen and powdered aluminum.

Extremely stable and perfectly legal.
