murphy: using your logic, then muzzle loaders are best of all?

Ed,I think it has also to do with the circles you travel with. I have never had a problem selling either type.In fact I sold a few I really didn't want to. Good guns will always sell.

Ed, "sticks and stones". One of these days, all those dangerous fluid steel guns you've been selling are going to come back to haunt you. I guess they're OK if you stay below 5000 fps.

Say what you will, believe what you will, but if you have never hunted with one of those confound composite barreled hammer guns, you have never hunted.

I took a rooster and 2 quail with a hammer gun today. I have to agree with Brad

any good double gun smith should have the tools to measure barrel wall thicknesses and based upon his experience, be able to determine the safety potential of a particular gun.

several sources are now making low pressure smokeless loads in the 6000 psi range, which roughly duplicates the pressure of black powder field loads. two of the most popular are rst and polywad.

as for value, guns with barrels other than fluid steel are generally worth less than guns with fluid steel barrels, all other factors being the same.

Dave and Bill will you just shut up.....:rolleyes: this is the one tiime I will agree with Ed if it will bring down the prices of those dangerous barrelled guns.:rotf: We need more posts like this..... cause I am looking for another dangerous hammer twist barrel gun and I like to buy "cheap":)

I also agree with Brad. I do my hunting with a hammer gun, it's just freaking cool!!!

Sorry Dave just could not resist.....
