I would seriously doubt the existence of a telescopic site in the Revolutionary war. There were certainly ground lenses, eyeglasses were around for a long time by then, as were telescopes. It would be interesting if there were any documentation of a scope sight in use then.

Leaning over the muzzle of any firearm, muzzle loader or anything else, is a real bad idea.

At least get Pelosi to ask for universal background checks for pressure cookers, and end the cooking show loophole.

That is a good load, I shoot it regularly. It is a full power load, for "plinking" I load 14 grains of 2400.

I hunt deer with my Bllackhawk, and small game with my Single Six. They have given me a great many good days in the woods, and a lot of good meat too.

As much as I'd like to see this come to pass, I don't think I have enough years left to me for it to happen. The legislature is not likely to pass anything of this nature,

The point that he is an NRA life member was run out at one point, but for how long? For $300 recently he could have become a "life member." I'm still voting for him in November, the "o" has got to go.

Three would do it. A Ruger Security Six, a Blackhawk convertible, just for versatility, and a Coonan Auto. Well, two out of three isn't bad, but I'd really like a Coonan.

New York opened the deer sason to crossbows last year.

Well, you could get a Green Mountain barrel for it in your choice of calibers, and rifiling twists for round ball shooting or conicals. There's a fellow by the name of Ed Ott, who I believe makes replacement stocks for T/C's, but then your down to the original lock! If you have some good...
