Yup, it's the man's name.

Thanks For what it’s worth the man and his father alway have a shot gun they hang up in their “plastic sheathed” “chalet” some where in the mountains.

So, Barud, one burning question ...you'all have any percussion caps? We're just about all out of 'em hereabouts.

 

[hawkeye hugo]

I still have a stock of 2000 caps or so

Hello from the city of world's desire, so they apparently used to say. My interest in this hobby has been growing since my e-introduction about four years ago. Turkey's not exactly condusive to this sort of interest, but for someone interested in eastern miquelet lock firearms, it can provide some interesting diamonds in the rough. It has been hard to discuss it with anyone save a handful of flea market regulars in their senior years, however, so I figured I'd drop in. Hopefully we'll have topics of mutual interest.

Cheers,
Barud

Welcome to the forum!

I see some around, but the examples I see are all fairly dated. From all the Italian cap and ball replicas I see in various states of powder fouling I see in antique shops, I garner that there must be some cap shooters somewhere; but where they are, I don't know.
