Oh my

I fell off the wagon
Again

I finally scored a (factory made, not a project) Italian (pedersoli!)
Sharps Rifle in .45-70 with a 26" barrel. Thats as long as I can handle without it dragging
On the ground.
 Notice the lovely poured pewter foreend cap



And an honest to rudy Danish Rolling Block! A Model M-1867
Built in Kjobeenhavns Toihuus (thats the Copenhagen Arsenal) 
In the original 11.7x42R and a 35.5 inch barrel.
I will need to fabricate a tiny caisson
Or acquire a pack burro. Or recruit some local kid as my gun bearer.
 Is there an NCOWS costume for that
I wonder?

I'll be your gun bearer if I can occasionally shoot too!  I probably still fit in the "kid" category.

"Like Button"

Practice walking around the house with one in each hand (okay, maybe not in the house).  Then, when you carry just one in both hands it will feel much lighter. 

Pedersoli makes great guns - nice wood, too.  Did it come with half of a tang sight?

I don't know anything about that Danish caliber.  Can you reload for that?
