I made my annual pilgrimage to Thunder Ranch but this time was...different. Specifically, Clint Smith - founder and patron of Thunder Ranch - is an enthusiast for old American battle rifles, and he has one from every era of the American battlefield. He forces me to shoot these ancient and obsolete weapons, and teaches me about their use and their history.
We start with the Burnside Carbine, move to a Speingfield 1873 Trapdoor Carbine, then to the Sharps Rifle, and we conclude with the gun that won the West, the Winchester Model 1873. Clint gives us history lessons while I complain and shoot each of these historical firearms.
