Cool Little Hopkins and Allen “The Offhand” Underhammer.

[Dave James]

Springfield, at the time the powers that be said it was not an original copy of any old time rifle , we're restricted to side hammer and flint, think as I remember it was changed in the early 70s to mid 70s. Had to go all the way to Richmond to argue with the Major in charge of LE ove a mule ear muzzy. Told him he needed to go to Williamsburg and talk with the smiths there
