    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!

I know on some you can lighten the main trigger but what about the set? i only see one screw on bottom of the trigger assembly and its between the two triggers. I dont remember the set trigger being this stiff, is there...

    It really depends on how much you practice with it. im very confident with mine out to 125 yards or so. Its all in finding what it likes and shooting it often.

    Single or Set Triggers For Hunting?

    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...
