    Rusty Freeman rifle

    OK that’s a little joke. I got this rifle from a man for free and it was a little rusty. Couple days back I bought over 1700 Hornady 8 mm reloading projectiles from a guy and we got to talking about muzzleloaders and he said he had one he would give me that had a stuck ball in the barrel. I put powder under the nipple and fired the old ball out. She cleaned up pretty good . FBCClick image for larger version.

    Looks like a CVA .45 Kentucky rifle.
    The first gun I ever put together.

    Can't beat the price.
    A vote for anyone other then the conservative candidates is a vote for the liberal candidates.

    Be very careful, muzzleloaders breed like rabbits! Enjoy your blessings.
