Re: I want your opinion on a post i made elsewhere!!!
I would love to have that gun/scope. It looks really sharp. Yeah, it looks pretty good but would look a lot better without that big chunk of metal sitting on top of the end of the barrel. Yep... but I was thinkin' that scope would look world's better on my Sharps vs some tilt barrel thingie! :twist...

IMHO, the roots of the Revolution lie in colonial taxation. I am sure there are some on-line references to the various Acts by King George and the British Parliment that imposed taxes on the colonies.
