Default the drool facter in high gear today

went to one of my favorite gun shops today.
they had an 58cal euroarm? of america looked like some type of carbine very short barrel for $325 to $375, two cabela's six shooter one the remington the other an navy 150 each, and another 6 shooter for $185. also picked up an mossbery 4x4 30 06 they have setting in the used guns section. I really really hate that stock design, it did feel good thou. loved how the bolt released to look at the bore.

But, I am going to save my money for an CVA Apex.

looked up the 58cal I found at an gunshop




The Enfield Artillery Carbine was one of the most coveted weapons of the 1860's. Its amazing accuracy and advanced design gave a superior performance over all the other rifles used in the American Civil War. Today, an original Artillery Carbine 'Musketoon' is a rare and valuable weapon. Euroarms have recreated the 1861 Artillery Carbine using the unique sealed pattern and original gauges to complete authenticity. Only the finest materials are employed throughout each stage of manufacture


Specification:
Artillery Carbine two band.
Calibre: .577"
Barrel Length: 24"
Overall Length: 40 1/4"
Weight: 7lb 8 oz (approx).
Stock: Seasoned Walnut with solid brass furniture.
Barrel: 5 grooves 1 in 48" twist
Sights: rear sight graduated to 600 yards, front sight fixed.

Corey, I'm glad that thing isn't in a shop near me. I would likely be dickering for it with a lowball offer just in case the seller needed the cash flow.

The Cooks Brothers rifle I have heard is a very good shooter. Maybe its the roundball twist or the fact it was made to shoot a minnie ball. New they are pretty expensive. So yes, keep them things in your part of the world. They are too tempting in mine. One reason I moved to the middle of the woods where there is nothing around me...
