Yes, I was ucky bt=y the look of it. My Enfield has matching numbers. I have been surprised at the accuracy, and it will probably get better as she gets worn in a bit. Woodwaork was a bit tatty, but I have managed to pick up some brand new bits on eBay, and some Birchwood Casey finishing gear, so some time in the garage doing the woodwork up is on the cards .... when the weather gets warmer.
Back powder guns .... I have a Ruger Old Army in .45. I managed to get one of the last ones into the UK when they stopped making them. Also a couple of Remingtons, one in .36 and one in .44, a little Uberti Pocket Pistol in .31 and a Le Page duelling pistol. Bought a muzzle loading rifle recently to try out that side of the sport. Just an Ardesa Ranger which was cheap, but it is more fun than I thought it would be so I may get something more posh later.
The member who recommended the forum has warned me not to refer to bullets as "heads !
) As an "old salt" I will try to stick to the concept that "heads" are where sailors go to pump personal ballast overboard ! The subject came up as he has just delivered 2000 "bullets" to me for the Marlin lever action, which he picked up from Tim Hannam for me.
100th member eh ! Wow ! I knew I would be famous for something some day !
