    Very nice "pocket rifle", I wish I had one myself.

    Gun Choice?

    It all depends on the range and the circumstances. You never heard of Sgt. York?

    You sure don't. To clarify, I am not trying to be mean spirited, but you would be absolutely amazed at the number of times I have asked a similar question in other hobby venues in the past and gotten blasted for it. I got tired of it. I learned better and figured out what my late father meant...

    I don't do other people's research for them, except on contract.

    New member. Looking for first firearm.

    I don't know why nobody mentioned a single shot pistol or a shotgun? Simple is better when you are starting out.A smoothbore can be loaded with ball or shot, and the single shot pistol will not be as likely to get one in trouble as a revolver will. Long ago, Numrich used to make pretty decent...

    cleaning after firing

    Clean is good, but be sure all moisture is gone and oil well. All depends on the climate you live in! Once long, long years ago, I shot a Colt '51 .36 Navy.

    The bigger they are, the harder they hit the ground and make a nice sound when they go down. :wink:

    Pirate Fashions Box Opening -- Two-For-One

    For some reason, it sort of reminds me of the old pirate movie "Pirates of Blood River" from 1962, where the British studio didn't have it in the budget for a ship (even a mockup one), so they shot the whole thing on land with never a hint of the sea. One of the few, if not the only films of the...

    Arrr matey! Me thinks we'll not be doin' business in that port! :hatsoff:

    Japanese matchlocks?

    Sounds like a deal to me. I always hear about things like this when: 1. I am short on cash. 2. The item in question is on on the other side of the world. 3. Usually both of the above at the same time!
