I couldn't post without picking a something so I chose "For Sale" despite this booklet is free. I sold my .454 model 83 years ago and just discovered the booklet. 7"X4 1X4" Free to good home.

83 years ago? Or 23 years ago? Are you really that old

cohunt,
I sold the model 83. I did that years ago. I am a 76 year old in great shape. I joined a gym three years ago and couldn't bench press an empty bar. My goal by the end of the year is 225 pounds. I am 5'7" and a little paunchy at 165 pounds. I guess I am vain. When I started I was using 15lb dumb bells doing curls. A cute college co-ed walked up and picked up the same weight. I struggled with 17 1/2 pounds. Now I work out with 35 pounders. I started with 130 pounds on the leg press for thirty times. Last time I tried I went 50 times with 380.
With all that stated I know I am closer to death than an out of shape fifty year old.
I am curious. How long have you been using a .454? What have you hunted?
Your .com friend,
Rich

Guess my post came across the wrong way--- was just joking around. ( hence the smiley face)
Your post said "sold the .454 83 years ago"
I know you meant that you sold the model 83 years ago, but it could also read " sold the .454 --- 83 years ago " ....the manual is actually only 23 years old (by the copyright date)
I'm not here for an argument so ill just apologize for the way my post came across
Have a nice day

You didn't come across wrong at all. You gave me a chance to brag. Thank you. Like I said I'm still vain.
May I cry on your shoulder? Our crazy governor locked down our state, so I can't go to the gym.
