    Browning mountain rifle / Lyman Great Plains escutcheon plates

    I just picked up an un-fired 50 cal Joseph Browning commemorative mountain rifle in the wooden case with booklet, case keys, cleaning jag, powder horn and etc for $200. It was stored in a gentleman's fathers house somewhere and apparently moisture got to it. It has some surface rust on the...

    Muzzleloading Puntguns

    First time I even heard about punt guns I was reading James Michner's novel "Chesapeake". Although fictional, Michner tries to be historically accurate. In the book he writes about brothers who do commercial duck hunting to earn money to buy an oyster boat. They purchase a punt gun and start out...

    Thompson Center Hawken 50 cal with LRH +++ garage find

    Well, I think I just hit a pretty good score. I was browsing on Gunbroker and spotted a listing a little off the beaten path. All it said was Thompson Center BP with LRH and with just a couple of pictures that told me it was a T/C Hawken . I did a back search on Gunbroker and found an earlier...

    Trail Guns Armory Kodiak Percussion Double Rifle by Pedersoli - 12ga/.50cal

    Trail Guns Armory Kodiak Percussion Double Rifle by Pedersoli - 12ga/.50cal

    One other feature I forgot to mention about this gun. At one point when I set it down I heard a "clunk" sound. Upon investigating it I removed the butt plate and found a 3/4 hole drilled into the stock about 7" deep with about a 6" lead slug and a spring, in what appears to be some form of...

    Trail Guns Armory Kodiak Percussion Double Rifle by Pedersoli - 12ga/.50cal

    Thank you Ronnman for the info. I finally received a reply from Pedersoli. They sent me similar info plus an exploded diagram of the Kodiak Express and Combo. They also tell me that this old Kodiak Combo was shipped to Trail Guns Armory in 1976. I'm now even more impressed by the guns condition...

    Trail Guns Armory Kodiak Percussion Double Rifle by Pedersoli - 12ga/.50cal

    So on a whim and out of fascination I placed a bid on Gunbroker for this Trail Guns Armory Kodiak combination percussion double rifle by Pedersoli in 12ga/.50cal at the last minute and damn if I wasn't the high bidder at $640. I can tell it's a earlier model with browned barrels and the only...
