These are mine, I've had others but, this is what I have left. I also have a Italian 1858 Rem, Cap & ball and a muzzle loading, Montana barreled, target pistol.

This is my favorite target ML. I built it from a H&A kit. It has a 32", H&H 50 cal, 60 twist barrel. The forearm is attached to the receiver and the barrel is floated. I also made  apperiture sights for it.

My Traditions. I put a Sharon barrel on it. I made the hooked breech and drum and nipple to mount it.

My Italian “Hawkin", 45 cal. I bought this for my wife (She's gone but the rifle remains  ), I always loved the wood and finish on these (circa 1980's), very pretty rifles. I put a 50 cal TC barrel on it for her to shoot. It was very accurate at 900 fps.

My slug gun, it has a 38 cal Douglas barrel on it. No falts muzzle but, it has a timed bullet starter, milled for cross paper patches.

This one isn't marked, at all and maybe a original. It's 32", 50 cal, no hooked breech. I've never shot it but, it has the PERFECT drop and pull for the barrel sights.

For the muzzle loading fans. If you ever get the chance visit The Museum of The Fur Trade just east of Chadron,Nebraska. I was there a couple of years ago and there are a lot of muzzle loaders on display. At least a couple hundred. And a lot of other artifacts from the fur trade.

Frank, I am presently going through a museum's collection of firearms that has not seen the light of day in 50+ years. If your last isn't original, it is a very nicely made craft rifle! Ric
