We've been getting hammered too.  I think the storms are coming through here on the way to Pennsylvania!

I forgot about the SxS Ethan Allen; I was thinking of the pepperbox.

Rain is all we have had in recent memory. Two evenings ago there was a line of storms that started in Ky and ran northward up the entire western border of Ohio and Indiana and kept on going into Michigan. It was a band of storms, heavy rain, strong winds, quarter size hail, and if you were really unlucky, tornados. We were lucky, just got the rain and wind.

Way cool, but gosh it sure storms there a lot.
 Sunny and 75 here today. Did some shooting myself.
 Looking forward to some more reports on that sxs.

Yes, Kees, you're right. The Ethan Allen sxs isn't the snake eyes model, though. I think the snake was the final iteration made by the guy who owned Deer Creek at the time he acquired all the remaining guns, kits and parts from whoever owned that stuff at that time. Here's a pic of the three guns that Hoppe's sold under their name.

Just got back from the test drive of the .36 sxs. So as not to run afoul of the mods, the bad dude is threatening me with a highly evolved flintlock pistol. 12 gr 3F, .350" ball and wornout tee shirt patch lubed With Stumpy's Moose Juice. 7 yards, offhand of course. Had to call it quits, more severe storms headed this way. Homemade loading equipment. Not too pretty but functional.

 After looking at more locks that was what I figured.
