Smoke and flame!!
« on: September 09, 2010, 12:54:31 PM »
My wife and I finally got to the range with the Howie, (nicknamed the Linda) for a little workout.  All went well, I need lots of practice for a postal shoot. ::)

Notice I broke out the linstock,  for standard ignition... Thanks for looking! JeffG

Jeff,
Armorer's barrel and your carriage make for a fine looking rig; also enjoyed the action vid.

The one thing that you can almost always rely on research leading to, is more research.

Gary,
I think the photog pressed the psychadelic button on the camera before he snapped this pic, but I like it a lot; that's one long muzzle flash! :o

Is that your Mt. Howitzer firing?
