Howdy! My name is Sam, and I'm from the small town of Milano, TX. Thanks for the acceptance. Looking forward to all the "wisdom" available here.
Curious if anyone knows where a fella could find an authentic breakover cap gun. As a boy I had an imitation browning side x side. Metal barrel, wood stock everything seemed "real" except it shot caps. This is what my father gave me as a 4 year old, when he took me bird hunting, and he used it as a training tool for me. It had ample enough weight for a child to learn the muscle memory and mechanics of swinging on a bird, and you better believe I was chastised for every barrel mistake I made. Sticking it in the ground, and of course for pointing at anyone or anything I shouldn't have. I look back on that time with that cap gun so fondly. I can still remember the feeling of being able to have my very own gun, and it was indispensable in my firearm safety education.
Around 8 or 9 I graduated to youth model 28 gauge Remington 870, which I still have, and it is waiting for usage by my kiddos when they are big enough. But the old cap gun is nowhere to be found. Does anyone know where I could find something like that? I've found one that is close but it has a plastic barrel.
Thanks for the help!
