My mom just gave me a hexagon barrel rifle from the 1800's. She had it cleaned and oiled, but I haven't had a chance to shoot it yet (kind of wondering if it will work or blow up, etc.).

BTW...I'm assuming you mean the Athenaeum? Sounds like fun! Bet those hoop skirts are plenty hot, though!
be careful with the rifle- I know there is a really good gun shop down in Franklin right off the freeway.... they could likely test-fire it... I would think it is a cap and ball rifle- they are good (not at all clean) fun....

And yes, it is the Athenaeum.... she went there 2 years ago and loved it.... we spent the week tooling around the fine state, then another week on the road back to SoCal...

I wish I had a better knowledge of the area there- it is amazing the history of the region (I am a Virginia kid)....
