Never take your college student to a gun show or my Martini-Henry adventure

[MILSURP Collector]

So I met my UGA Junior at the Gun Show in Gwinnett intent on selling my Garand, met a few ODTers there and rather than sell I bought one of my son's Unicorns.

I will admit it is cool and historic and I did what I normally never do, bought the bayonet. Can't wait to shoot the big thing! We got 10 rounds anybody have a source for relatively cheap ,577/.450? Damn I thought 30-40 Krag and 45/70 was expensive!

I will definitely give a range report in the near future!

PS

It is only money and we learned our lesson a couple of years ago when we passed on a riot gun marked Alcatraz!
