Default I think I OK

Looking at my ML collection I believe I am comfortably set for a while with a nice rounded set of MLs for my purposes. They include:
T/C Hawken 45 cal flinter
T/C Hawken 50 cal flinter (1:28)
T/C Hawken 50 cal flinter (GM LRH 21" bbl)
T/C Hawken 50 cal perc (Satinless hardware and SS GM LRH)
T/C Hawken 45 cal perc
Custom 1/2 stock with T/C hardware and 50 cal perc GM LRH
T/C Cherokee .32 cal perc.
Knight 50 cal inline.

Of course I do have my eye on a Pedersoli flinter at the local gun shop waiting to be release for sale.

Well, you're OK bronko, but not quite right. (Take that any way you want. )

I don't see any .54's on that list, and a .58. You gotta have a .58.

No thanks Semi. If I got a .58 then that would mean I would need big balls like you have.

The list looked good until I got to the Knight.

All anybody really needs is one good gun.


Man, I'm so glad I'm not just anybody.

Do you shoot that Cherokee much? That would be a nice gun to plink with and to shoot some limb rats.

I thought that too flounder (about plinking) before I got my .32 Pedersoli. It's fun to shoot, but I find I like plinking with light loads in my .54 and .58 round ball shooters more. But the little balls are just right for small game.

Your missing one. A 54 cal. No gun collection complete without one.
