The reason I may take out one of the lever guns is just for nostalgic purposes. Be nice using an old rifle with bullets I cast and loaded myself.
LOL I was just razzing you to get your blood stirred up Bronko . LMAO Some of those smoke pole weigh a ton compared to modern rifles . Especially the front heavy ones with the long barrels . I know my TC 50cal Hawken weighs way more without a scope than my Browning Bar Carbine does with a scope. Some of those Mountaineer barreled
guns are like carrying a stock with an 8 ft piece of 2 inch diameter cast iron pipe attached to it around all day . LOL
