Brave. I'd like one. They're license free here and so is the gun powder and primers.  :)

A gun smith could probably tell if it's dangerous or not.

A gun smith could probably tell if it's dangerous or not.

Generally, if you can't tell by looking, "Magaflux"  it.

If it has been rusted and restored, you probably should not try to shoot it. The age does not matter, actually. I used to know men who routinely shot ancient weapons of which some were several hundred years old.  What matters, mostly depends on how well the iron was kept all these years.

If it has not corroded or been used at a higher pressure than it was designed to withstand (modern powder charges must be used with caution in ancient weapons, obviously!), it is as strong as the day it was made.

I would probably take about ten seconds to decide whether or not to shoot it or oil it up and set in a frame. I doubt that it took Parts that long.

Damned. New black powder guns need a license here. They used to be free in Germany and Belgium, though.  :-\

The establishments whose pizza I would care to eat, do NOT deliver.

Else wise, I'll make my own. It's much better, anyway.

Eating Peking Duck from a carry-out place around here is indeed BRAVE!

You could as easily be eating Peking Cat. (handwritten sign on the way home with cute pic: "Lost our Fluffy")

He probably does. He'd eat you and me if he was hungry, that fat Irish blob.
