Good Afternoon All,

Just back from the range and my condolences to the American troopers sent to Cuba during the Spanish-American War. Wow, this rifle was deadly accurate, easy to fire, and the recoil was no bother at all. I do love my Trapdoors but int he face of the '93, just throw in the towel. Now I have a greater appreciation for the weapon and it's clear where US designer had seen and felt the sting of this amazing rifle.

The rifle is not a beauty and I am still cleaning up some rust and excessive patina on the bolt face. With that said, this rifle will fast become one of my favorites.
