1942 firearms training photo
"August 1942. "training in marksmanship helps girls at Roosevelt High School in Los Angeles develop into responsible women. Part of Victory Corps activities there, rifle practice encourages girls to be accurate in handling firearms. Practicing on the rifle range in the school's basement." Large format acetate negative by Alfred Palmer for the Office of War Information."
Bonus points if you can name the rifle. I have no clue. |

Prepare to be impressed. Rifle is a Springfield M1922 training rifle in .22 as stated. Great collectors rifles. I have fired that gun, my FIL owns one. Beautiful gun. Only seen him shoot it once when he let me shoot it. Another guy at the gun range that day 4-5 years ago offered him 1000$. FIL laughed at him. Don't know what it's worth but its a neat gun.

I got my NRA Marksmanship badge at YMCA day camp when I was a kid. Lost it years ago, wish I still had it. Bet they don't do that any more but really really need it.

I actually don't know sh^t about rifles. BUT I never forget a gun that I have fired or is in the family. So its just dumb luck more than my knowledge really.
