Nice. It would be fun to have some open range like that to shoot nearby.

We are fortunate that most anything one would like to do is approx 15-30minutes away.

That rangeland north of M town is prime.

If you ever want to experience what an active warzone feels like, head to pleasant valley on a Saturday morn.

Is that a 46A?

Is that a 46A?

It is a Wards Western Field 47A. My understanding is that it is a Mossberg 45A, though I have seen this style stock on other models as well.

Some old rifles of mine...And a sorta sleepy "guard dog" and me...at the 1838 Rendezvous.

I've been looking for a replacement stock for a 46A for decades. It was my first rifle. My cousin "borrowed" it after I got drafted and somehow broke the stock beyond repair.

Looks like a decent one on ebay starting at $40.00.

They're around, I've seen them for sale In my quest for replacement parts. Popperts or Havlin sales might even have what you need.

Sorry about your cousins negligence, hopefully you can get your rifle in working order again- these old budget .22s are worth saving.

Screenshots from a video of a man shooting a couple of Hawken .50 caliber flintlocks. Puts on quite a fireworks display.

Dear Lord! How does that not melt his face?

The blast from the flintlock is out away from your face ...plus you really don't need that much in the way of priming powder...I think that the fella in the those pictures..might have used a bit too much.
