Lets see your favorite rifle!

[Dryball]

Hey everyone! I'm willing to bet that almost all of you have at least one rifle.......so let's see your favorite....not necessarily the purdyest, but the one that gets the most use. Flint, percussion, wheellock...makes no difference. I'll start with my most used  first: This is the Traditions Tennesee, .50 caliber, 24 inch barrel, flintlock. The reason she gets most used is because she's nice and light to carry, accurate, fast handling, and smells so good when shot!

Hey Little Jim, who made your gun.  I saw one carved like that online today and wondered if it was by the same guy.
