I like the Maynard better.

[1G3001]

Huge lead bullet. Must have tremendous stopping power.

[Nacnueed]

Feck that was LOUD!! Turn up the volume my ass!

[digvoldon]

that doesn't seem like the most practical thing for someone on horseback. Imagine trying to load it under fire.

@digvoldon Faster than ramming a bullet down the barrel, though.

nothing beats black powder

[mag30th]

Amen to that!

14495 merrill carbines have been produced between 1861 and 1865.

Wish i had one ;o(.

The next rifle i will buy is an Gallager carbine, and maybe a Smith carbine if i get a good offer.

[C0mradeAlex]

Excellent, I simply love crack! You wouldn't happend to have a spencer carbine?

[mag30th]

No, I wish! :-)

Great vid! 5 stars! I love that crack of thunder!! I can't even begin to imagine the din created by an entire regiment on the firing line blasting away.

Beautiful rifle, stay safe bud.
