I saw this in front of the Yooper store in Ishpeming, Michigan.

ha!
that's neat! !
i couldn't tell if it was a flinter or not.
it would be neat either way.
you'd have to touch up the flint with
a sledgehammer. if it was a capper,
you couldn't carry but one spare cap, like
maybe in a backback, and it would be
hard to drop it and lose it. a patch would
be like a small bedsheet or a tarp, and
you'd have to lube it with a paint roller
or something. i think it would be easy to
rule out a spit patch. cleaning would be
kinda rough, but at least you could get
someone skinny to crawl inside and scrape
the breechplug manually.


that's neat! ! !
18 MINUTES.  . . . . . .

It's percussion, and looks just like a Thompson Center Hawken.

What's it made of? Plastic or should I say polymer? 

If it was metal and wood, it would probably shoot "large" cannonball sized round shot, probably real large.  Reminds me of a movie that I saw as a kid, some guys dragging a humungous cannon over the mountain during the Napoleonic Wars. I think it was the "Pride and the Prejudice".

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.
