1976 Huntsman Cal. 45 from Germany
« on: September 08, 2010, 10:21:00 AM »
Hallo everybody,

my Name is Mike, Iīm 44 Jears old and I live in Brandenburg, Germany. From a good Friend Iīve got his old Rifle. He bought it 1977 new from a German Riflemaker, Paul Gahles. This Man worked for the "Zeughaus-Hege", the German Importer for Harrington & Richardson Muzzleloaders. Look at the Pictures, he did a verry good Job and I will take good Care for this Masterpice.

Hunting with Muzzleloders is not allowed in the State Brandenburg, itīs also not so easy to get the Powder for it. I need to make a Licence to buy it and itīs only allowed to have one Kilogram at Home. Yearīs ago it was so easy to buy the Stuff whats needed to make the Powder self at Home, but since 9.11 everything has changed. Anyway.

I have tested the Rifle today. 5 Shotīs at a Target 50 Meters away were going into a Pack of Cigarettes, I think thatīs a verry good Result for ten Years without Practice  ;D

i feel for you guys overseas! we can buy all the powder yu can afford here, i gave 16$ a lb last week for it, but im afraid we are headed in the same direction as yuall.also sorry you cant hunt with such a fantastic firearm.compared to germany we are the final frontier but we are faceing in the future a colossal fight to keep our rights to hunt and shoot.

Hi Mike!
I'm just curious, what was the cost of the rifle?
All I can say is: Wow! What a beautiful piece of workmanship! The grain on the wood itself is fantastic, and to top it off, the rifle shoots!
Sorry I resurrected this post, but the photos were too good not to have everybody take a look at it.

My quandary, I personally, don't think I have enough Handi's but, I know I have more Handi's than I really need or should have.

Hallo Ranger,
my Friend said that he has payed about 1.800,- DM in this time. That was a hell of a lot of money in the mid-70. In 1980 my father bought a Sharps Carbine for less than 700,- Mark
