Good morning,
About a month ago, I was browsing the used gun racks at Cabelas. I saw a unique black powder rifle that got my interest, mainly 'cause I had never seen one before :)
I don't remember the make/model, etc, but it was a black powder rifle, .50 cal. But, this one had an over/under style barrel that rotated 180 degrees into firing position. When I first picked it up, I was curious and it took me a moment to figure out what it even was.
This morning, the rifle was on my mind again and I did some quick Google searches. It is likely a Numrich Arms.

I doubt the rifle is still there after all this time, but I am going to run out this afternoon and look. Has anyone seen one of these before? Anyone fire one?
With all that weight, its not a user friendly firearm I'm sure, but I do like the odd guns and this one sort of fits the bill :)

Hmmm, interesting indeed.
Soooo was it still there? When we gonna go choot-it?

Man, I would have been happy as hell to watch you pop a few rounds through it! But...someone beat me to it. Hopefully a NFOA member is now the proud owner!! :D

Next time, let me know, call or go into the store and ask for it to be held.
You can do a 5 day hold on most things at Cabelas.

Yeah, I've done that several times. I often walk away from an awesome find only to call the store back that evening ::) But, I feel at least like I am not impulse buying! lol
I have been moving over the last month and the gun budget went towards fuel, dumpster rentals, new things for the house, etc. We finally finished up this week-end so it's back to "game on" the next time one speaks to me. I'm not overly upset over losing the BP, yeah, I now wish I owned it (that and a few thousand others I have walked away from lol), but there will be another gun, another time.
I truly hope a NFOA member ended up with it. I'd like to hear more about it!
