It was made by a guy who is on the ALR.  His name is Ron Luckenbill (AKA Lucky R A).  See this thread.   :hairy

Any idea what the gun was that Glass used in the movie Revenant?

I second Bigsmoke's motion to get those guns shot in. I know there has been one invitation sent out after hearing a gentleman was looking to participate in postal shoots. And I know another individual who just joined another forum, who used to be a member of our muzzleloading group. As soon as I can get his phone#, I plan to contact him and invite him to join us as well.

Well, I got good news yesterday on the 5:00 o'clock news broadcast.
After almost 15 months, our local rifle range is going to be opening again under new ownership.  :applaud :applaud :applaud Of course, last week I just took my rifle stock and the 20 ga barrel in to the gunsmith to convert it to percussion.  Is my timing right on or what?  It will probably be a month before I get it back.  :P :P
So, in the meantime, I guess I should take my 12 ga trade gun and my .45 flinter down there and get them sighted in.

Tom, this is a great view of where our shots would impact. Better than just the plain tiny postage stamp.

 [ Invalid Attachment ] Decided to say a little more about my miss at the long range target yesterday. If for no other reason, it helps me explain why I don't take 100 yd. shots at deer. This poor deer probably would have survived (maybe), but it's quality of life would not have been good.

Good for you my friend.
 I know what you mean about withdrawal, the smell of the charcoal burner is addicting.

Was beginning to have withdrawal symptoms, so headed to the range. One of the targets I grabbed, was the long range target.All I have to say is, I missed, but got rid of the withdrawal symptoms.
