Caught a buzz, went outside and was working on grapevine bed when I saw a familiar face galumphing down the road with something long wrapped in canvas. It was the kid I had picked up ( bartered for) an 1862 Tower rifle from. This time he had another rifle, a mid 19th century " breech loader". These rifles eventually went to the wayside during civil war ( repeating rifles). Have no idea yet what the f I got.....I like it..........In exchange for the breech loader.......... block and tackle, micrometer and a Pyrex condenser joint. I threw in some Chocolope ( wanna keep him coming back) .
Here's mine....they look the same to me! Weird, never seen another and I have looked. My grandpa said he found it in his grandpas barn after he died, and he passed it on to me about age 10 because he didn't trust either of his sons!!

It has finally dropped into the 50s, so I can turn off the damn ACs and save some $. Now the room keeps at a beautiful temp and humidity just running on the fans. The girls seem to love all the fresh air coming into the room, too. So glad I don't have to harvest again until the 1st. Time off of plant shit makes me smile.

I had a gunsmith look at it about 45 years ago, and he told me it was an early 12 gauge shell type gun. He said I could probably still shoot low velocity 12 gauge shells through it, if I had a firing pin made...That is missing. I'd never shoot it though. It would make a nice gun to hang on the fireplace or something.

Mine doesn't have a name on it, but there are some marks...initials I think.
