I met a gunsmith at a gunshow in Knoxville,TN, about 3 years ago. We were both looking to buy the same rifle. Turns out he builds long distance target rifles. I mean l-l-l-o-o-o-n-n-n-g-g-g distance! We got to talking and l asked if he knew anyone who could add slots to a pair of .36 cylinders...

My collection includes actually used War firearms, including a Savage-North, Burnside carbine, a CSA 12mm M-1854 pinfire revolver and various .32 RF and pinfire revolvers.

Inexpensive Legal Mare's leg I realize I'm putting my 2 cents worth in about a buck short but the Mare's Leg has always had a special place in my weapon fantasies. I've legally own a "Mare's Leg" since 1985. True it has a 16" bbl as opposed to the 12" on the prop guns; however, the overall...
