Officially 110 years young!
Wonderfully thought out firearm, JMB was truly a brilliant man!

An incredible piece of machinery, is right. Just as relevant & useful today as then, perhaps more so due to better ammunition.
Mine did 960fps with a book load using 260gr. Speer FP/HP's and fed perfectly with all bullet types.
