That's very cool. Why don't they just reproduce that now and make all the big bore fanatics out there even happier? lol

Thanks for sharing

Thank's Darius that was very informative(an I'm an old gun crank). Wouldn't that be a great air gun for someone to reproduce, I know I'd buy one in a heart beat if they could keep the cost under a grand.

LOL, we think alike Tyler.

You are very Welcome Jay. Next time someone says something silly to me about why I "Play" with Airguns I'll give them a nice history lesson.

Something about that video made me want a Crosman Rogue haha

Thanks that was great very interesting how the fear from no powder burn and report tamed the indians

That's 1500 pumps for 22 rounds at full regulated power on a very big bore! And produced in 1790! Maybe we haven't come as far as we think? Seems the rogue had a predecessor, but without the electronics!

That is 1500 pumps for a claimed "40 shots before loosing noticeable
muzzle velocity" 2:23

It seems that most folks are too busy looking at the pretty rifle
to actually hear the BS that this guy is claiming the rifle is capable
of.

Come on, 40 shots on a 800psi fill, and no noticeable loss in velocity?

Wow, I always knew about the air gun crossed America. But wow never thought of it that way before. Super cool, and ditty dang talk about a performer that gun was a kickin' piece of work

I'm raising the BS flag at that as well. I cant see how that is possible. Plus claiming it can go thru a 1" board at 100 yards??? wow.

This video had a lot of information. Didn't know AG's went that far back. I doubt many people know.

I remember reading about Lewis and Clark using air rifles but never saw what the gun looked like. I would of loved to see how they put the air in that gun.

Where can I get a replica of this baby? XD

There is discussion they maybe have the actual air gun used by L&C - not sure. I've been reading about this for several years now. I read the book "Undaunted Courage" over 10 yrs ago where I first learned they used an air gun. Impressed I was, and been wanting to get involved in "real" air guns since. Just other day got my first PCP - a Mrod.

Amazing the history of air guns - USA and in Europe.
