If it don't burn powder, it's not worth owning.

Actually have only one, my very first BP rifle.  It is in good condition and the bore is pristine; but the multi functioning spring is dead and I haven't been able to find another new one.  I've tried a couple of "used" ones but they were pretty much finished, themselves.  It does look cool on the wall but has too much life to let waste away.

My best blackpowder guns hang on the wall, when they aren't shooting deer. The other ones have to wait their turns.

Do you gentlemen have any guns that are just too nice to hunt or shoot with?

No such thing. They were made for a specific purpose and that is how they are used. Each ding, nick, dent or scratch is a reminder...
