I bought my H&A .45 Heritage model back in the mid 1960s and I still have it. It's been fired a LOT! It has taken bobcat, squirrel and deer. The tg spring is dead - actually just the tab that returns the trigger. It's now just a wall hanger until it ever gets fixed. The tang peep got lost at some point but it's in excellent shape. It has to be one of the most accurate muzzleloaders I've ever fired.
