    Zoli 1803's

    I love my Zoli 1803! I fitted it with a replacement lock when the hand broke. And I shortened the barrel to make it a handier gun to run buffaloe, plus the Corps shortened several guns after muzzle breaches. I had a relative with the Corps of Discovery who stayed on the river till he was...

    accuracy

    Sort of depends on your circumstances. Good example…in a pinch you can drop a bare ball down a rifled barrel and it will give reasonable accuracy at 40 yards. Did that very thing when I need a very fast follow up shot on a wounded deer a couple years ago. This was widely known and done in the...

    SOLD Ronald Scott Rifle

    May I ask about the thumb-piece? Is that a period thing, or something you picked out?

    WANTED Bag mold .520

    Thank you sir! I’m well aware and have done business with him in the past. Just figured I would ask around here first to see if a used one might turn up…
