    Heavy Bench Guns

    I'm not there yet for glasses, tho I am beginning to notice some difficulty adjusting from tv to iPad and back. Is that how it starts?? Keeper is a good word. Now on my other 2 slug guns there is a mechanical starter that also keys into the "kept" false muzzle. My assumption was that these 2...

    Heavy Bench Guns

    Thank you^ I have 7 or 8 with false muzzles. On several of them there is a swinging latch to keep the false muzzle in place for transport/movement/pulling rod etc. This is one of the guns with that. If you look at the picture you can see the latch engaged in pins with short starter in muzzle...

    Heavy Bench Guns

    Sorry, tried to edit, mistake. Mule was another rifle. The Pierce is standard percussion, 1860 ish. Still shooting well in the 1940's and 60's as shown. The bank token rear peep is unique. Front sight has changeable apertures(in box to right in last pic) Anyway, cool historic piece. Wish...

    How reasonable are current Old Army prices?

    New smallbore (.20 cal)

    ^ yep, patching a bb is fun. I have used the steel ones, haven't tried lead bb in 177 yet. As far as the gong that was a one shot deal. I wasn't expecting the damage. Mostly I use this on caps, cans, bottles and the errant leaf. A great Woods toy

    New smallbore (.20 cal)

    Thx Keb for chiming in!! Took it out today to lay waste to some cans, bottles and random obtrusive leaves. No real leading to speak of, a streak here and there that cleaned up easily at end. I may try a wad at some point. I will let accuracy determine how I load in the end. Whole Woods kit...

    New smallbore (.20 cal)

Barrel is 5/8" x45" pull is 13 7/8. I don't know how far it will shoot accurately yet, I was just testing g for energy and function...
