    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.

    Glad your happy with the Ruger mate. It is a nice gun and will last a life time if looked after. Best Wishes, Tim

    There's a mini Cannon comp on at Wedgnock tomorrow, I'm going to pop down (that will be 3 days in a row at the range ) already been looking at the .50 Ardessa kits on Kranks website & I think tomorrow might push me over the edge for a variation
    I am quite certain that the argument you've already won in your head was entirely more satisfying to you than the one that is actually occurring.
