My interest in firearms are strictly technical. I like the engineering. I came across a Ferguson rifle a couple of weeks ago. This is one I would have in my collection, if I had a collection. Very interesting design.

Matchlock Musket......
Watch out for Smokey the Bear! And, don't stack your musket near any kegs of powder!! How 'bout doing a video when you shoot it?
