and my Southern Mountain Rifle in .50.

Both great shooters, as long as I do my job! hdslp
Have a good day all,

Nice guns Larry! Who made the Bess?

Very nice guns, Larry! thmbsup
very nice......really like that southern mountain
The Bess is one of the India made ones from Middlesex Village. The stock was very chunky and I had to disassemble it and thin out the stock and refinish it.
Now there have been some reports of these bursting but I think it is more operator error as mine has had 50 plus rounds through it with no issues.
Pretty good guns for the low cost in my opinion.
Y'all have a good day as I am off to work. :'(

What charge of powder do you use in it?
The Bess takes 100 grains of 2F with a .735 ball, no patch, or it will take 80 grains 3F or a.715 ball with a lubed patch.
The .50 likes 70 grs. 3F and a patched .490.
Nice looking set-up Larry. thmbsup
Thank ye kindly Pitchy.
I have fallen in love with your earlier firearms. They are the coolest! ;D
