The Missouri River. I just assumed. Missouri has a lot of rivers but most run north and south.
Here is a video of my Remington 1889 10 gauge.
We bought much of the family farm years ago. Over 100 acres got away from us but we ended up with 214 acres the wasn't close to the public roads. We built a half mile of private drive and built our home in the middle of the property. The farms around ours have been broken inro small lots.
back in the early eighties, i visited jeff city several times on business...have fond memories of the countryside and the fine, gracious people i met there...
you and the family are very fortunate to possess such a fine piece of land...
looking forward to more hammer guns on the farm videos...
Nice figure! (I use to lust at women with a "nice figure". Now it's old shotguns. It's hell to get old.)
Anyways, after I shot the Remington with black powder loads, I had to clean it. After hot water flush, brush and swabbing out, I applied Thompsons Bore Butter. In wiping down the outside of the barrels with BB, I noticed the lamination contrast improving. It stands out nicely in the best areas and shows some in the worst areas.
Here's something you can try, as long as there's some color left. Wipe the tubes down well with acetone. Quickly apply a coating of white vinegar. You want to coat quickly so the etch is even. In ten or fifteen seconds, quickly go over the tubes with a rag sopping wet with baking powder solution. This neutralizes the vinegar. Rinse well with water. If possible, soak the tubes for several minutes in hot tap water. Dry with a towel, then blow the ribs and bores dry. You'll probably have a little flash rust, so go over the tubes with OOOO degreased steel wool. If you like the pattern, lacquer them with clear gloss nail polish cut 50/50 with acetone. This only works if color remains, not on areas that have been silvered.

I prefer wood to plastic, leather to nylon, waxed cotton to Gore-Tex, and split bamboo to graphite.
