What's yer point.

The one YOU like best is the only real answer. They both do the job well. A good rifle like these is a very personal choice and even more important than picking a wife.

Pretty hard to prove as often many frontiersmen in there old age were photo'd with prop guns, as well with any staged photo I guess.

The Spanish made some dang good barrels. My dad had the Big Bore 54 years ago and I did some good shooting with it.

I don't think any of the "Big Bore" Mountain Rifles came with made in USA barrels, I think they came along a bit later but could be wrong.

Sure looks nice now.

I don't rightly know sometimes.

Nicely done. I bought a CVA Mountain Rifle in .50 a few years ago and this year I'm going to make time to play with it a bit.

I use Johnson paste wax on my guns a lot, The Brits used it on their fine doubles so. I hunt in wet weather so I wipe down the entire gun in a couple coats before going out. As for drying time, I would give your finish at least a month before waxing. If you can faintly smell the finish, it's...

It is most often who is firing the gun, some don't handle recoil well.

Starting point for rifles, half that for pistols.

A alternative to the rawhide might be the dehydrated fruit roll-up. About the same texture and may provide nutrition if lost in the woods.

I too think it is some form of Tranter going by the loading lever or possibly a Belgian copy of. Either way you have a very sweet somewhat rare gun.

Probably still is in other nameless countries.

I thunk it was done to increase velocity.

So, just to be clear, the white stuff is a mold or algae and can shoot spores like darts.
