Re: Question regarding pinfire guns.......
|
The early Lefaucheau double rifles to hit India in the late 1850's were pinfires I believe. They had short cases so were restricted in capacity. Lt. James Forsyth thought one in 14 bore would be just fine for blowing a tiger off an elephant from the Howdah.
