  That's pretty much what I tried to tell him, aside from the legal issues. Regarding being out in the sun
  too long, this is the Ozarks, and ...

  I recently sold an old repro 1851 to a neighbor, and he asked me yesterday if he could load it with bird
  shot for dove hunting. Other than the fact that the shot would probably foul up the rifling, I ...
