Dave Markowitz's Blog O'Stuff about computing, shooting, RKBA, and whatever else I feel like ranting about.
In doing some more online research it looks like my "California" rifle would more appropriately called a Philadelphia rifle. It appears to be inspired by rifles built by Slotter & Co. of Philadelphia, PA during the mid-19th Century. They made a lot of rifle, some of which were shipped to A.J. Plate of San Francisco for sale in that market.
As a Pennsylvanian sitting about 5 miles from the Philly line, this works for me. :)
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.
