Old Toast

[Beekeeper]

Today I reassembled old toast.
She is complete with the exception of a sear spring and a nipple.
The bore is so bad that it will never be shot again without a barrel relining or a new barrel so she will proudly hang upon the wall.
Maybe she will provide a little inspiration to someone of the younger generation.
She ain't the prom queen but I for one would not be ashamed to escort her to the dance.
A couple of pics.

Thanks for the follow up and the photos! That is now a respectable looking M1842. History does deserve attention.

I happen to agree with you about taking her to the dance, And proud to do it .

Nice little piece of history there. The way I see it, it would be great to eventually shoot her again, but even as a wall hanger she is beautiful.

Best wishes,

Joe
