A little back story on Mr. Gusler.

I don't believe that it's the same Wallace Gussler that passed in April.

Sorry for the bad info, thanks for clearing that up. I'm sure he'll be glad to know it. lol

You'll notice the absence of a short starter in this video. I didn't notice any mention of coning the muzzle for loading ease. I wish my rifles loaded this easy with good accuracy.

Right now, until Halloween, the William King Museum of Art in Abingdon, Virginia has a display on "The Long Rifle In Virginia." They have many fabulous pieces on display, never shown all together before. This video plays on loop in a back corner. Worth a drive to see.
