My interests are primarily original singleshots, but period American schuetzen rifles also really interest me too!
I started out collecting pre WWI era Marlin lever actions, but that soon lead to Ballards, and later to most of the early pre WWI era singleshot rifles. The majority of my collection is Ballards, but I've got singles from most of the major makers.
I shoot everything I collect, and reload for everything also. I hunt with old lever guns and singleshot rifles for the last 6-7 years, and don't shoot competitively any more.
