Just picked one up at the local stand-
I poked my head in the shop, saw the kidney color where it'd been absent on my last few visits and snatched a copy from the rack.
For whatever reason my instinct is to with my left hand flip from the last page to the first as I 'flip though' a magazine.
Through the first third of my little tour of the summer issue I saw three pinfire long guns, one of them a rifle -- and it'd have it's own article. Definitely looked like an issue I'd warm up to once I got it home.
Naturally when I got back to the house I sat down and went straight to the pinfire double rifle article, the
Morgenroth rifle article.
Am I the only one here (including the editorial staff) who noticed that the featured pinfire double rifle (which is pretty neato) isn't the same rifle in the old vintage photograph of Judge Rubin, and that Judge Rubin is hanging on to a muzzle-loader, complete with ramrod and thimbles?
Could be a build from the muzzle loader -- could be.
The article has much to do with the story of provenance, much based on the photo.
Where's the distinction between story and provenance?
