    it's 1862, what pistol would you carry?

    not sure on when it was released but if it was available, I would be using a spencer rifle along with either a 1851 or 1860 colt. Would also be riding with the rebs.

    Flintlock and Coyotes

    I have seen coyotes run deer to death, there will be 2 or 3 of them that get on a deer and switch off on chasing it. they keep it running until it cant run anymore. Killem all!

    Has anyone ever?

    I realize that this would take an advanced skillset, but has anyone ever custom made a stock with a pistol grip and modern buttpad? Im thinking that this would be a really nice hunting rifle, also that women and kids could shoot it very easily. Ive been thinking on the possiblilities, and...
