It was windy and chilly today, so i went to town eat, get dog food and look a small local gunshop.......ended up buying a Ruger Wrangler .22 so I wont have to use my Browning Buckmark hunting fishing.......the kind of logic that enables buying another gun
Was hoping to stumble on a 6.5 swede, but no luck.
But they had a old muzzleloading carbine in a gun rack, but had a strap so didnt take it down. The tag said it was 1829/38 Belgian .80 cal used by the 1st Iowa. When got home looked it up not finding anything that really matches that tag, but apparently during the ACW Belgium did have/use a .75 carbine. Is this something that should warrant further investigation? If it is legit, would it have much value?
