Khajiit would not use a foregrip. He likes the classic way of holding rifles.

Yeah, that's what I think I'd prefer too. Though I do like a pure pistol grip smile.gif

One thing I like about the foregrip is there's a hidden compartment to put your tool in and makes the rifle look lethal. I might buy my Dad one.

I have finally tried my Allen&Thurber pepperbox which I believe is in .31 caliber. A bit more of a pain to load than the .44 Remington since it doesn't have a loading tool built in like the army revolver does. Had to work with a loose ram rod. Also, since the nipples are not so easily replaced, meaning the original ones are still there, it was a wee bit harder to get the caps to seat properly. The result was the gun didn't always go off when supposed to.

I did however managed to shoot twelve rounds through it, meaning one reload, and the second time went a little bit better. With more practice I suspect I could get it to fire all six rounds first try. But as it is I'm now sending it back to the guy for a proper cleaning. Like the army revolver, the pepperbox is first and foremost a collectible and I don't want to mess around with it too much.

After 150 years I don't want to be the guy who breaks it! wink.gif

History amazes me sometimes. Not matter how old you get you always learn something new.

Amazing how long revolvers have lived through history.

I saw this video when I had purchased my pepperbox. The guy uses the exact same version I got smile.gif


I relate my firing issues to the nipples. They were quite corroded and thus it was difficult to seat the caps properly which is necessary for reliable operation. Still, all you need to do is keep pulling the trigger and get to the next chamber which is the true beauty of this gun. No need to c.o.c.k the hammer in a stressful situation. And next time you get to the same chamber it probably will fire, having been seated previously by the hammer smile.gif

New item of interest; a Colt Army 1860 in .44.


Spensive of course and I may not get it before someone else does. I do want it though as it is a little bit special. It was snatched by a Confederate which can be proven by the fact the gun has a lanyard which was forbidden by the Yanks.

Also I don't have a Colt yet so it's due smile.gif

Indeed, Reaper!


Tell you the truth, I'm not particularly fond of Colt's design here. I think Remington had the superior design and I know I'm not alone having this opinion. The Remington is way easier to work with, but I do want me a Colt too. I only need the funds... smile.gif

Father and Son Hi-Point Pistols. The big one's mine its a 45ACP. the smaller one is a .380 Auto and belongs to my Daddies.

I traded my Hi-Point Rifle to get my Dad that pistol but in return he'll help me buy a new .44 Magnum.

Khajiit likes how you and your dad help each other out. Sounds like y'all have a very close relationship.

Of the Hi-Points I did like the rifle the best, too bad you got rid of it. Not that it gained me you having it, but still... tongue.gif


Enjoy your boomsticks!

Trust me selling that rifle was no major setback. I can buy it back real quickly and not break the bank, that's the beauty of Hi-Points. Still doing that deed for my Daddies will help me buy a new .44 Magnum biggrin.gif .

You don't seem to be the type of guy who gets attached to his guns, Reaper? I guess it's because you can get how many you want and whenever you want with little effort.
