    How'd you get your start in gun building?

    Thought I'd throw this out there out of curiousity: For those of you who build guns, did you get started by repairing, scratch building, a kit? What was the learning curve like for you?

    Numrich/Hopkins and Allen "The Off-Hand"

    Not really my thing, but I was offered one in a junk store for $150. Appears to be missing the nipple the cap goes on, also the ramrod (no big deal there). Looks to be .45 cal or so. Any info on this?

    Kinda dumb question...

    Been shooting my cabela's/italian made flint Hawken for about a year now - love it. Have taken it deer hunting (unsuccessfully), but enjoyed the experience. Here's the question: I do more squirrel hunting than anything else and since there's no funds for a .32, can I work up a 7 1/2 or 9 shot...
