    A different twist for 2015 hunting

    As the birthdays just seem to keep coming, and I had already accumulated more Flintlocks than I was using, I decided it was time to thin the herd a bit and moved out a couple of Flintlocks. The .40cal Late Lancaster and the .58cal Early Virginia now have new homes. I still have a beautiful...

When I opened them 10 minutes later, this is what was staring at me. My heart rate...
