Summer in South Florida is the same as winter up north. We stay inside & stay cool while watching for hurrycanes. (sic sic sic)
Here is a (roughly) 1885 Whitney Rolling Block. Made by the Ely Whitney manufacturing company.
Originally chambered in .38 CFC (Center Fire Cartridge) a totally archaic round.
The bore was destroyed by rust so I had it re-lined in .32-20 WCF. It is fitted with a Leatherwood reproduction of an early type optic of 6x.
The rifle came from my grandfathers collection, I traded with my cousin to get the rifle.
You see about 6 months worth of work in refinishing the wood, cleaning all the metal parts with minimal re-browning as needed.
It shoots 2 ~ 3" groups at 100 yds with 120 grain lead bullets.
