Moderator? What? Who? What's a moderator?

 

[Tully Mars]

Just a bit ... I'm guessing...
I do have a few that touch on Daniel Boone's era ... I'll have to post some pics I guess...
Here is one... Its a Abraham Schweitzer long rifle from the 1780's or so.
Wish it wasn't converted to percussion ... Oh well.

I understand your feeling on the conversion, but it was a popular thing to do way back when wasn't it?
Major congrats on the Mod tab

It was a very popular thing to do ... I have seen many rifles that have been converted.
We have 5 other guns in our collection that have been converted to percussion:
A North West Trade Gun.
A 1803 Harpers Ferry Rifle.
A Georgia made long Rifle.
A Virginia made Long Rifle.
And A Leman Trade Rifle.

We have done a few conversions on new made guns as well.

Many original flintlocks are in fact a re-conversion back to flint after being converted to percussion sometime in the guns working life.

[MrMillspecer]

Another promotion for being moderate. Everyone gets a trophy.

Just kidding . Andy you will do great as you have done before the title. So you have to keep a bunch of kids inline. I think you can handle it, and well. That's some vacation.

Congrats Andy! Think this is a good, fair and balanced choice...

 

[Connor Murphy]

Congrats, couldn't happen to a better guy!

Now if @Stomper gets made a mod I'm gonna sh*t myself and start looking for the door...

Stomper's the reason we have mods.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

That's odd ... I could have sworn I heard the same thing about a guy named Murphy ...

Whoo-hoo! Congrats Andy.... Or maybe condolences for having to put up with all is knotheads beyond just reading our nonsense and then hitting the ignore button

So how long until the site is renamed "NW Smoke Poles" ?

Hey, I resemble that remark.

That's not a bad idea ... We all should know that those cartridge guns will never catch on.
