Great point, Ideal! My great great grandfather used the 1862 Springfield that he carried in the Civil War for deer hunting until at least 1884 - that's when his Colt Lightning rifle was made. I suspect that he probably used that old front stuffer longer than that because I doubt that he bought the Colt brand new.
Michigan wasn't the wild west, but it did have some wilderness!
