Something Rare and Beautiful

Post by Aughnanure » Tue Apr 25, 2006 7:29 am

Bear with me on this one, it's not a straight out post about a rifle but the problems associated with making faithful copies of rare firearms.

But--there are some good photos of an extremely rare American black powder rifle and I think that this would be an interesting post to follow to its conclusion.

The rest of the site is interesting for the technically minded although it has,usually,nought to do with guns.
