will post more photos as it gets done

i will be shooting this out to 1000 yards
but most of our shoots at 500
no scope just aptures or a tube sight

nice platform... are those LR shoots limited to black powder only, or.....?? :)

Yeah mate black powder only

Most guys use something in 45cal 45-60, 45-70, 45-90, or 45-110 or a 45cal muzzle loader shooting slugs

Fuck that's a weapon ha keep us posted when you have it up ans running

Nice!

A gun from the 1870s must come with a few stories
