I wonder how long the barrels were on those things. They sure as hell look alot longer than the one on my AR15. lol

I bet those rifles kicked like a mule.

Rifles in the Revolutionary War?

I did not know that.

The General he killed got a university: http://www.sfu.ca/

“Where’d you get your degree?

“SFU!

“A bit sensitive aren’t ya.”

Anyways, Happy New Year.

Bayer has a company owned hotel/conference center in Moon Township, near Pittsburgh. In the bar, there is a collection of one dozen PA long rifles with an extensive history of each piece (where available) and each gunsmith. Bartender said the collection is worth several hundred thousand dollars.
