Saw a lovely pinfire down at Whittington last week. A variation on the Dougal Lockfast that I'd never seen before and in absolutely remarkable condition. One could be tempted to go down that road with such a gun but....(a big but!)...ammo would likely be an ugly reality.
When I consider all of the "unconventional" artifacts that I already own and enjoy (bamboo fly rods, silk fly lines, damascus-barrelled hammer guns, old muscle cars, etc.) you wouldn't think that this would be too-far of a step but....upon further reflection it actually is, even for me.
It would be a fun project and there likely are some solutions out there, but (yet another "but") I'm simply running out of bandwidth here.
With too-many other obligations, chores and distractions already on the ground here, and with my own energies starting to wain (just a bit) I'm afraid that this will remain a road untravelled, at least for me.
A sad admission...
