Default The Devil Made Me Do It!

Well, just what is a guy supposed to do when a "can't pass it up" deal slaps him in the face?

I ran across these two late this evening for a price that made me dip into my envelope of savings for a custom flintlock.



Both have pristine bores, with a few minor stock dings. I've never had a .32 before. Can't wait to shoot it. (Load suggestions welcome.)

I have about all of the .50's I want or need, so you'll probably be seeing that one in the classifieds sooner or later. Anyway, I'm having so much fun hunting used sidelock bargins that I may never get that custom gun. In fact, the more I think about wiping out my playing around cash for one gun, the less attractive it becomes.

Cayugad, are you sure you know which devil I was referring to?

(Sometimes, the shoe fits. )

If I lived close to you I would ask your wife where that devil is located.

Gotta keep those jugs out there WOODTICK, and be ready to yank in a good catch now and then. The seller threw in about $175 worth of goodies too.
