Niagara Falls 102 years ago.
Pretty rare occurrence.
The Story...
Her mother had a cousin living in Niagara Falls that year.
She told the family that she and her neighbor’s woke up in the night feeling something was wrong.
It took a while but they finally realized that it was the lack of noise.
They had all become so used to the roar of the falls that the silence was unusual enough
to alert their senses. Of course at that time nearly all the houses were near the falls.
Amazing pictures, more than 100 years old.
Can you imagine walking on Niagara Falls?

A Mossy Naggy, muzzle blast like a 2 by 4 to the face.
I hear tell they’re fun rifles though.

Sidenote, I have a full wish list of rifles I’d like ot have the money to own.
Mauser 98K, M1C or D garand, M-14/M21 not too picky on that.

Nice pig sticker you have on the Nagant. Fun to shoot and the recoil isn’t nearly as bad as folks say it is.
