Re: Ouch... Waterloo Chest Armor images

Takes a lot of guts to ride head long into battle on a horse especially facing cannon fire shooting canister or round shot.One thing though the poor guy probably never felt a thing and didn’t t know what hit him

Re: 45-70 lever gun

I second the browning 1886 rifle or carbine best replica of the 86 made.I have the rifle version and though it is a bit heavy carrying in the field I prefer the longer sight radius and the fact the weight gives you a steadier hold when shooting
