Ive always wanted one.Something similar to what Custers boys had at the Little Big Horn.

I can say that I have heard the sound a round makes when one went over my head by maybe 5-10 feet while I was out hunting on a horse one day.It sounded like one of those hugh bees.Nasty sound.These guys on the next ranch over had an original 45-70 trap door musket and they fired over my head to let me know they were there I guess or maybe they thought I was a deer.So I let one fly back from my model 95 winchester to return the favor.

That was an interesting day.The 1st time I had fired off the back of a horse.Its certainly not as easy as it looked on Gunsmoke.The horse went balistic and I fired every round I had at that Buck and he trotted off..hahaha
