Slim, I got 2 miles north of town and turned around and came back. https://www.klkntv.com/wind-kicks-up-dust-around-lincoln-reducing-visibility/?fbclid=IwY2xjawKUpIhleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBicmlkETFwWFhGdzR6a1BJWHUwaE90AR4uGV96YDqTJRVLQpvAWAAsxX9Y0DWTkjc1v9DwkuNvPRzC81AZMbWprbsfWw_aem_0_RpOw0k_Um0f0cVZ294Tw

Thanks, Adam:
Good work and useful info. Please sit tight and reach me nxt week. Peened hammers are normal on orig's, and can be repaired vs a repro which can do the same thing.  No guaranty a repro will fit correctly. Smiles.

Repeater match is wrapped up. Happy to say I kept right up with and even out shot some teammates with Henrys. I didn't do a great job of keeping score but I think I tallied around 13 hit.

 I will likely need to replace my hammer as it is peening against the firing pin and is not getting enough contact for 100% reliable ignition. Hope I can get a repro that fits.

Mog, that is very generous and inviting of you. thanks.

I did have an Infantry 1888 Springfield rifle with a round-rod bayonet & Buffington Sights.
A Friend talked me out of it, as my interest was drawn to a Krag,
and that splendid little war.

   An Update 

I just plain didn't like it.  I was unable to source a set of Main Springs and didn't want to grind on the OEM springs without an Oops set of springs.  I did shoot a match with it.  It was comfortable and tracked nice but just wasn't my cuppa.  Then, out of nowhere, I scored a nice almost unfired new Pietta Hammer Double.  I really like Pietta.  So the Coachwhip became surplus to requirements.  Down the road it went.  Oh well.
