Poor Health Forces Selling Some Things MR Higgins?
As some of you know I turned 79 last month and as such the old age issues are starting to affect me and what I can do. Along with my 3rd bout of cancer which is at bay with an experimental Immunotherapy medicine I get every 3 weeks I am getting starting to get bad shaking in my left hand which has caused me to not be able to do the black powder shooting matches I have been doing for 10 years or so. Sooooo I decided to put several of my muzzle loaders on Gun Broker for sale. They are a mix of ones I built, one made by a past national champion named Roger Johnson and a double-brace (4) cap and ball pistols. The pistols have two with sequencial serial numbers which are a special set. One of the rifles I have shot to 500 yards and can hit a 24 x 24 inch target with tang sights, another is for short matches usually out to 50 yards but can hit easily at 100 yards.
I posted this here as it will get the most views and hopefully the admins will let it stay since I am one of the oldest members still on Pelican Parts and remember how it was when Wayne started all this. John Rogers Last edited by John Rogers; 06-27-2024 at 07:57 PM.. Reason: Add images |

John. Not interested in the guns, but want to wish you the best with your health problems and therapy. I'm aware you've been struggling for a while now.

Just read your ads, you can't include the caps .... individuals can't really ship HAZMAT stuff....

Of course I wouldn't include the caps or 209 primers or real black powder. That would be against federal laws I know.....
