I use a short barrelled Jaegar in 60 cal. It has a coned barrel so I can actually thumbstart my ball. It is both historically correct and period correct for a Rev War era gun. Not a military gun, by any means... It's a hunting gun.



Pray tell, how could you load and fire a Baker "Quite a bit Faster" than my Jaegar?
