My 45-70 has such a bayonet. A long one.

“If you happened to have an operational replica cannon from the American civil war, is it legal to shoot somebody with it who is trying to break in or has broken in?”


Interesting question. I have no idea as to the answer.

I saw a very short double barrel muzzle loading shotgun for sale at Cabellas a few years ago. Must be OK as it was black powder muzzle loader.

That’s great that you have a Trapdoor from so far back.
Sounds like the perfect life. Tinkering with old guns, giving opinions on the internet.
