Default A Box of Gold

Hey guys, remember my post a couple of weeks ago about the guy in Thibodaux, LA who offered to give me some old Muzzle Blasts magazines?

(http://www.huntingnet.com/forum/blac...-upon-you.html)

Well, he called me last night saying he was making a trip to New Orleans today and would bring them with him. I met him on side the highway and picked them up.

I was expecting a dozen or two issues. What I got was a 30 lb. box of gold - every issue from March 1970 to February 1980. WhoooWheeeee!

An ad from the March 1970 issue.

I think I'll order one of the $99.50 Belgian made CHARLEVILLE Muskets and a $24.50 flintlock DUELLER. Maybe even one of those $19.50 28 gauge fowlers.

Well, that looks like enough reading material to keep a guy busy for a long while! Enjoy. I have never owned a traditional blackpowder firearm but i must say they intrigue the Hell out of me. My hat's off to anybody that shoots the traditional way. After all, these are our roots.................. -Q

Wow, that is a great find. Happy reading. Who knows, maybe you can learn something from them and pass it on to us. We could have weekly classes with Mr. Semisane......

Century Arms? Boy have they survived with a different world of firearms. That looks like one of the old Klein company adds. I had a friends Dads die and he told me to get come get his old hunting magazines. I ended up with Field and Stream and Outdoor life from the 50 and 60s, I must of gotten a hundred magazines. I was in heaven, good reading to you and congrats on the new treasure.
