This one is chambered in .43 Spanish, the brass and casting mold had to come from Belgium, so 100 cases was $500. It's been in my family forever and has always just hung up in the attic until our older brother retired, got bored and set out to see if he could make it shoot again. This old rifle hasn't been shot in over 100 years since the Franco-Prussian war. He is going to take it to Oklahoma and kill an Elk with it now. ____________________________ Eeewwww, don't touch it! Here, poke at it with this stick. | ||

Wow, coincidentally, yesterday I shot a Colt Lightning rifle that has been in my family for over 100 years for the first time with cast-lead black powder 44-40 loads. | |||
