good anything is  expensive  LOL!


so you do some gunsmithing...      one of my ancesters  was a gunsmith -- made  one of the more famous guns in  the History of  Kentucky -- I think its still in the museam  "ole' Bess"  I think they call her.    
Squire Boone made her for his brother.
I am hunting one of his guns for a mantle peice ---  I know the metalurgy of the time didnt  not allow for  long lasting  barrels  so I know it wouldnt be good to try and shoot it  LOL!
