Hmmm.... I don't recall the Colonel having fuzzy black hair on his ears and black freckles on his nose....

Because yes...

COL Cooper would never have worn one of those bluetooth things...

Oh heck... if we're being mean..

I thought he looked a bit like John Quade's "Cholla" from the Clint Eastwood Every which way but loose and Any which way you can movies. (especially after they all end up bald headed)

Blaine,
Please explain how Col. Cooper convinced you to go to the .45-70.

Several years ago, he was very high on the caliber. His favorite was the Wild West Take Down, but he thought the Guide Gun, especially with the ghost ring, was dandy for just about anything one could imagine. Being from the PNW, with it's thick forests, I needed a stainless, 200 yard hammer.....ergo sum:

I read the Col. for close to 45 years....he never lied to me once

Yep, it was the good Col. Cooper that turned me on to lever rifles; while he is not widely associated with lever rifles, he was a fan of the Winchester '94 and the Wild West Guns Co-Pilot takedown conversion of the Marlin .45-70. He wrote something to the effect that the '94 was an early scout rifle on this continent, a contemporary of such European light bolt rifles as the Mannlicher-Schonauer.
