Never mind, I just do not want to know. The .38 Super pistol bug is enough at this time...Dave.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fnfalman Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 I picked this one up a couple of weeks ago literally “just because”. I don’t even care for that type of guns. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul53 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) A Brass Henry. Another preemo lever action would do. Marlin. Not even picky about caliber as long as its available. Edited August 31, 2020 by Paul53 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maser Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 (edited) I am gonna be coming into about 32 grand of inheritance very soon and I figured I'd use some of that to get some guns off my bucket list. I'm sure I'll be laughed at for this, but since Jr. High I have been wanting one of those Hawken .54 caliber flintlock kits. Best excuse to get back into black powder shooting. Being that it's gonna be a flintlock, the only things I'll have to buy is replacement flints every now and then. I know how to make my own powder and cast my own balls/bullets.

Those Hawkins are really interesting rifles. If you get a good one they are fantastic shooters and a lot of fun. The one i have is down right deadly. Fires a .50 cal. lead ball. If you get one of these rifles make sure you get one of those kits with the CO2 can that you can insert into your flash hole...if something goes wrong you can blast the stuck ball, powder and wad out. Been there and done this many times. It's the most important too you can have for this type of rifle.

But seriously, if you shoot a percussion gun keep a little flask of ffffg powder. Pull the nipple and fill the thimble with ffffg, replace the nipple and fire again. It usually sets off the main charge. But CO2 systems are great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember reading a story awhile back where someone at a gun show used one of those and when the bullet shot out, it actually hit someone. A .50 caliber ball with 800-900 PSI of CO2 behind it will ruin anyone's day! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crockett Posted January 5, 2021 Share Posted January 5, 2021 I used to have a list of rifles I want, but all that came to a halt within the last 2 years. My company now (also) works with Wilson Combat, Barrett, and more, so I have access to free loaners as well as partner pricing (often 50% off). Ever since we got a booth on the SHOT show, after being on the waiting list for 5 years, this has been a door-opener for everything. Now that I can get a .50 BMG loaned for free (long-term) or cheap, the desire is gone. Shooting those in Florida isn't easy to begin with, most ranges don't want to deal with really big calibers. I still want a .338 Lapua, but not in a rush anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have one of those that has been worked over for competition, had a bigger brass front sight added, and the lever throw shortened a bit. Very smooth and fast.

They used a ram rod with a screw on the end of it. You would screw it into the ball and pull like hell and it would come out. Much easier with compressed air and safer. That is a lovely mannlicher you just presented. Not many rifles made in this style stock anymore. Ruger has an amazing 10-22 with the same stock. Looks like just the thing for rabbit season.

He's not likely to get it because most people have no idea what kind of quality rifle it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
