I figured that .60 would have turned a hog inside out. BTW, he probably engraved a hog on the thumbpiece so you would remember what you were hunting...you know, being a Sr. citizen and all that. ;D

Say, any of you boys smithies? Or, if not smithies per se, were you otherwise trained in the metallurgic arts before straitened circumstances forced you into a life of aimless wanderin'?

Nice lookin’ slab of bacon, Tim!  (And that .60 also ain’t bad, neither...) Congrats!

That fine rifle looks even better now, Tim.  Looks like you’re all set for Labor Day. Have a good one.

He looks at the thumb piece before he shoots to make sure it isn't a doe.

May through August legal to hunt them at night I just can't  figure out how to attach a light to a flint rifle.😉
Electrical tape. Workes on a horses bridle, so can't see why it wouldn't work here. Although coban, from the medical supply would do the same without leaving glue on the gun.
