This was taken in Fort Worth. The carbine looks like a 1st model 73 Winchester the owner says. A little blurry for my eyes.

Not much respect for muzzles in those pictures.

Here are a few more that I've collected off the webs.

Thanks rr7, I especially like the one of the boys from 1914. Hard to believe that's a hundred years ago.

I agree. Those boys are the best.

Both Rangers look pretty tough to me! Gotta wonder, though, why the gent in the 3rd pic has a bowl on his head. :D

The littlest fella looks like he is packin' Spanky's cork gun from the "Bug Huntin" episode. As always, you find some great, old photos. 1886

Great pictures :D That first kid on the far left kinda looks a little like "Spanky," while the littlest one on the right looks as if he's thinking, "you gotta be kiddin me, you want me to hold this thing up?" hahahaha
