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.
RIP John. While on vacation July 4th 2013 in northern Wisconsin, he was ATVing with family and pulled ahead of everyone and took off at break-neck speed without a helmet. He lost control.....hit a tree....and the tree won.  He died instantly.

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?
