i cant resist it anymore. last season i broke the tang off right at the bolt hole and lost the tang bolt out of my little .38 cal percussion. put her on the rack and decided to wait to get her fixed. well time and money hasnt showed up yet so i went mountain man on it. rawhide strip wraped tight and tied just in front of the nipple holding things togeather plus the two pins further up the stock should hold the little 20 grain charge. just cant help myself anymore. gotta go put a roundball through something.
