The Rimfire Report: A Series Of Tubes – The Hamilton Model 11

By Luke C.

Hello and welcome back to another edition of The Rimfire Report! This ongoing series is all about the rimfire firearm world. Most of us remember shooting a gun for the first time. As I’ve talked about a bunch of times before, mine was the Ruger 10/22 and for a lot of other shooters my age it was their first gun too. One gun I’ve come across recently on Gunbroker might just be the early 1900s equivalent of that – The Hamilton Model 11 otherwise fondly known as the “Boys Rifle.” Simple, rugged, safe, and affordable, the Model 11 was probably the first rifle many boys shot throughout the first half of the 20th century, and today I wanted to take a closer look at this strange collection of tubes to see what it offered the back yard plinkers of the early 1900s.More Rimfire Report @ TFB: The Rimfire Report: An (Almost) 100% Aftermarket 10/22 The Rimfire Report: Do .22LR Bullet Coatings Matter?
