    Who me?

    Yes, I did.

    Really don't want to upset people who can take everything away from with without turning a hair.

    Any Remington is a nice shooter. I used to have the Hege version - many moons ago - and sold it for £300 more than I paid for it. That solid top frame is THE clincher for repeatable accuracy - that's why the Ruger Old Army is such a great pistol.

    whats your next blackpowder gun

    I have just found a very nice .451 Euroarms Enfield 1853 volunteer for a very small fraction of the price new,and I mean small.
    So just waiting for my variation to come back, happy days.

    Just sold one of my Ruger Old Armies and now have the ticket/cabinet space and funds to get myself another Taurus lbr but in .22 for
    use in the Hendon postal comps. Got to be honest and say im sure I'm going to regret selling the Ruger but iv still got my Old Army shorty
    and its gone to a good home so at least i can move on. That said i can see another Ruger old army shorty on the cards with a nitro conversion.
    Ho Hum. Here we go again. Tim
    ps, still quite fancy a Uberti cattleman aswell.

    I have a cattleman, very pleased with it. Its just a bit odd loading off the gun, but once you have the press sorted its a doddle, I made my own and it works a treat.
    Next stop is a flintlock musket as funds allow.

    I heard of someone who bought a shot barrelled flint blunderbuss, c1790, toasted a fast left right crossing clay with his second ever shot then realised he couldn't crow about it because the barrel was only 12" from muzzle to point of ignition.
