Another loaded one

[Whitworth]

Went to an auction with brother Steve today and he picked up a nice T/C Hawken. Out in the parking lot he pulls the ramrod and drops in down the barrel to check.....and it's loaded A year or two ago we were in a local gun shop and he examined a used percussion single shot pistol that had just come in, not only was it loaded, the hammer was resting a live cap

 

[2 shots]

had an 1774 charleville shipped from cali. to n.y. loaded with a very old load.

Man, oh man! Just think how many people were incredibly lucky it didn't go off somewhere on its way to you.
