Thanks for the ping. I think my poor Sharps cavalry carbine wouldn't have done the trick that day. I would have felt safe with it within fifty to a hundred feet, maybe with practice... Nice and pristine, matched parts, wouldn't shoot it, just keep it.
Wow, what a shot!
Now I gotta think about all this a bit. Hmmm, got a nice Enfield to think about, too.
8mm
I'm thinkin' the same thing.
