Great picture Fred!
I have hunted and harvested deer with my Thompson 50 cal. that I built from a kit 36 years ago.
There is a special feeling I get when I carry it hunting. Nothing like it.
i have tried flint . several times . but i cant get used to it . flintching like being swung at by mike tyson ..lol. i have a inline . but the one i carry is my 40 cal. percussion .
