I concur that primitive weapons should use loose powder and ball, exposed hammers, and iron sights. I happen to have a Thompson/Center Renegade in .54 cal that I shot for many years.

I'm even a bit leery of scoping a primitive weapon, unless it's one of those 4' long brass tubes...El Capitanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166884584708996911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12389938.post-25975812665070164962012-08-16T07:38:33.109-05:002012-08-16T07:38:33.109-05:00Sounds like you need to buy something single-shot ...Sounds like you need to buy something single-shot in a .35" or greater calibre. Isn't Artcic Tom selling a Ruger No 1 in .45-'70? US$100 off for GC members. I'd be tempted...<br /><br />DenisAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
