Wasn’t the old US Model 1841 rifle referred to as the American Jäger? I know it’s not what the OP or anyone else here is refering to. But i was playin’ devils advocate. :) I remember a local quotation I think By John Holland Jenkins of the Massacre of the Coleman family (Mrs. Coleman and older...

Not a military arm, but wondering about what happened to all the muskets and such. Here’s a photo of a trigger mechnism I found up on a hill country ranch where I was basically raised. Maw (my old copeñero’s mother) told me that considering where I found it, it was an old muzzleloader her twin...

Waidmannsheil ! A very nice buck!!!

AlanG, Yes, I cobbled it together. Forgot I had the barrel. Found it moving stuff out of old shed into new shop. Had a bad mud dauber nest in it. Hence the 29" barrel! :D I thought it would be fun. I chase small pigs with it. I’m from the school of “pick up pig with one hand” size of pig for...

Fearing a good traditionalist flaming, I’ll post this meagre and amateurish creation of mine anyway! :D Not trying to pass it off as anything original. I simply wanted a rifle like this. Calibre .40

Waidmannsheil, Jess!!!! That’s great!!!!! Congrats to you both!!!

If you find any extra (cooler weather) please send some our way. I would like to get a couple of pigs! :)

Very nice!!!!!! Waidmannsheil!!!!!!

Used to go to NM back in the day. (The mid ‘80’s). Mebbe do a ML hunt (elk) next year at the family Colorado ranch. Too much logging and beetle kill clean up going on there this year. I do enjoy chasing them with my original, old, wore out unmentionables up there tho. But several of my...

Yes, I have.

Quite a catch! Congrats and good hunting!!!

Deeeeelicious!!!!!

Good luck on the hunt!!!!

They were still issuing Cecil B. Demille trapdoors ( that’s what we affectionately called em) on the set of "Two for Texas" back in ‘96. But that was over 20 years ago now. I remember a kid standing behind me before the big San Jacinto assault holding his TD and one blank ctg., asking, "can...
