Title: BLEW MY MIND!!!!!!!!!!
Post by: Roaring Bull on October 06, 2008
Ya'll ain't gonna believe this........(that's how a reneck fairy tale starts (http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm282/RoaringBull_photos/Smileys/3.gif))

My wife was looking at gunbroker with me and she wanted me to bid on a flintlock .45 pistol.  (http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm282/RoaringBull_photos/Smileys/bigshock.gif)  So naturally I played it cool on the outside (http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm282/RoaringBull_photos/Smileys/cover.gif)  While on the inside I was a little happy. (http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm282/RoaringBull_photos/Smileys/dance.gif)  So I placed a bid and now I gotta wait another week until the bidding is over.  She gave me a max and I am hoping it will hold up to that.

But the good news is she wants them to shoot with the kids at the Mission Outddors shoots, because it is a little bigger and there is more for the kids to hold on too and her to hold on too as well.

Plus I get another flinter to put in the collection!(http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm282/RoaringBull_photos/Smileys/smile.gif)

Yeah it may need a little TLC but it will give me a little project to do.....kinda looks like a prime candidate for barrel browning and need to work on that nose cap, too.

Well, its a little over what I was told to bid, but I am right now.  Might not last though.  Someone else wants it as bad as I do I guess.

Well, now I gotta come up with the dough to get it paid for.  Got it for $125.  Jackie was a bit surprised cause I went over budget.
