Very informative video. I'd sure hate to be the guy on the air pump for that thing.

That was Sacagawea's job.

"An exact replica" eh? ... I wonder, are they available? At what price!

Not sure I agree it's the most important 'firearm' in US history. Too many others that could claim that title

that being said--neat concept

That is interesting. I wonder also. You could use a little compressor to fill it up...

Very cool indeed!! I had no idea. Did I miss it, or did he not say how they pumped that baby up?? Impressive ballistics for a 200 yr old air rifle. enjoy Mike

Thanks for the link. I wonder why that never caught on. Custer might have had a better day.

He mentioned it was a pump sort of like a bicycle pump. He also said it takes 1500 strokes to fill the tank from empty to full.

At least one shot shows a left handed gun, or at least the hammer was on the left side, compared to most of the shots it shows a right side hammer.

Some guys these days use a scuba tank to refill their airgun tanks . . .
