Caneman, thanks for that Link. I had on idea they had air rifles like that then. I'd like to have one of those now. How about you, Chort and Kansas?

Like everyone else, I had no idea air rifles existed back then, let alone played a part in opening our frontiers. Who'd have thunk it? I'd take one of those 40 caliber repeaters. Thanks caneman!
