To Brian, I shoot black powder because it is fun and it is traditional. I enjoy dipping and rolling the shells like they did in the 1800s. I have hunted with it, also. I have had the shotgun apart and it is not dirty, that is not the problem. The gentleman that I bought it from told me that Oscar Gaddy worked on the lug and put it on face, but apparently left that little hitch in the movement of the top lever.
To Garry, this year‘s bird hunting was pretty good, we hunted the prairie species on a Sioux Reservation in South Dakota, and did pretty well on pheasants in Iowa. We did not find many birds in Missouri, though.
