Am Rifleman Article

There is a good article on smoothies in the latest American Rifleman - got mine today and already read it cover to cover.

I don't get the American Rifleman, what was the artical about, other than smoothbores?

 

[Keith]

Colonial hunting guns. It concentrates on smoothbores. Discusses some of the differences between French, English and Colonial produced firearms. George Neumann wrote it.

I'd love to get a copy of that! If there's anyone out there who wants to part with a copy, I'd appreciate it. I checked, but I can't buy the single issue.

Perhaps one of our fine members will photo-copy the artical and send it to you...

Was a pretty good write, nice that someone is giving "our" kind of guns SOME attention...! I enjoyed it.

:applause:

I realize that the writer didn't want to expand the article into rifles, but I think a mention of the Jaeger would have been appropriate, as at one time the Jaeger, or "Jaeger like" rifle would have been pretty dominent on the scene, along with some English trade rifles. Probably more smoothbores and muskets for sure, but the article was entitled "Hunting guns" and not Smoothbores.

But a great improvement on the last article on "Kentucky" rifles, where the author described the Jaeger as a clumsy, heavy, "featurless" rifle. !!!!!!!!!@^^#!#%!@@$^&*!!

:curse:

::Good thing Jaegermeister didn't see that! :haha:

they did a story on cecil brooks some time ago. he makes the presentation rifles (charlie heston cold dead hands gun), beutiful work. he's in his 90's and has one apprentice that is a master craftsman in his own right. cecil said the jeager was the only swampped barrel gun he ever did and that was enough if he lived to be 100.

 

[FearNot]

Hey... wait a minute!! If he's an apprentice he can't be a master craftsman, and if he's a master he certainly isn't an apprentice!! :haha: :haha:

Is there such a thing as a master apprentice? :haha:

 

[FearNot]

Master apprentice... maybe someone who's taking waaaaaaay to long to reach journeyman level? ::

 

[rayb]

I doubt that is the case here. The so called apprentice appears to be the designated successor to Mr. Brooks.

Mel Brooks has a designated successor?

 

[FearNot]

Well, let's see...

There was a TV show called Our Miss Brooks - maybe she's all growed up now and she's the successor. :haha:

 

[Rebel]

Or it could be Barf Brooks, the singer. ::
