    We'll have to get together at one of these INGO shoots so you can shoot guns from the turn of the century. The ballistics aren't as impressive as the modern stuff like KJQ has, but back then most everything being pushed was cast lead. I see the Broomhandle as being the HK of it's time.

    I'd love that

    The Broomhandle was introduced in 1896, it must have been a shock wave in the business back then. Going up against people armed with SA revolvers with a gun that loads ten off a stripper as fast as you can push with your thumb. Yank the stripper out and the bolt closes on a fresh round. It's small wonder they were so popular back then.

    My son is getting into a war in a FB discussion about ISTEP and then he tagged me so I had to go do a bunch of reading and stepped into the doodoo myself. :draw:
