When I first found out about the Lewis and Clark air rifles it inspired me to get into PCP air rifle shooting. Love those things.
Same here!Thanks for sharing…. Very good article and still amazes me to this day!!
Good book.Just finished reading this book. Sad the way his life ended. The book mentions the rifle a few times.

What amazed me was how they keep their powder dry, in sealed lead containers, with each container, melted down, would make enough balls for the powder it held. Lewis and Clark daily journals are another great read.On the return to St Louis the expedition was out of everything but guns and ammo.
I call that a huge success!
Oh yesWas the L&C air rifle lethal?
I had no clue air rifles existed back then.
