You might think so, but I'm sure it isn't under control. You'll keep finding things that look interesting that you want I'm sure.
I spent the afternoon at the range earlier this week and got talking to a couple of guys wearing Confederate uniform jackets with replica 1853 Enfield rifles. I was talking to them for hours about their reenactment group, civil war history, and firearm technology, etc. They gave me a demonstration then let me do the full loading sequence, even tearing the paper cartridge open with my teeth, and fire a couple of Minié ball rounds down range. It was an absolute blast and I was suprised how accurate they were and how little recoil there was. Punched one heck of a hole in the target though. That black powder makes a horrible mess, but I'd quite like to get hold of one of those for a bit of fun.
That's how the list keeps growing.
