Tex Jones, SASS 2263 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 No tension on the sling. Ten rounds without any fouling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 And a Baker rifle that fires without a ball and no noticeable change in the report?? Still, a great series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 It appears the lass's hammer has been short stroked and lightened. She's able to cock that with just a light pull with her pinkie. And what's with the guy wetting the ball in his mouth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 12, 2019 Share Posted May 12, 2019 1 minute ago, Subdeacon Joe said: During the Seminole wars in Florida in the 1830s it was noted in a few journals that the Indians fought very unencumbered. Virtually nekkid with a rifle, powderhorn, and a mouth full of musket balls. Dump powder down the bore, spit a ball in after it, ram it home, charge the pan, and light one off.

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted May 13, 2019 Share Posted May 13, 2019 I did watch and to me it looks like she's cocking a MatteI Fanner 50. I can't cock my original 1863 Sharps carbine that easily, which is why it stood out to me. It's a heavy pull and I'd think it would be on a flintlock. Hey, it's Hollywood.
