I just don't have any personal experience with them but I find them to be interesting. I've done some reading on the carbine, officer's model, Army, etc. The originals vs repros...the issues with actions popping open, etc. Lots of info out there.
Who is using them here? Smokeless or blackpowder? Which models do you like? I'm enjoying shooting the various battle rifles I have and this is a gap in my experience. What model would you recommend? What forum would you recommend for learning more?
JD, I love your trapdoor. It's such a clean example.
