About a year ago I took one off a buddies hands who acquired it in trade. He had no use for it and sold it to me for a great price. Really was a great purchase, but the soft heart kicked in when I saw another friends eyes twinkle at his sight of it, and him never owning a traditional muzzlegun I figured it may be a good opportunity to grow our sport. He took possession, has acquired the necessary items for shooting, but has yet to fire it.
Oh well, maybe some day.

I acquired a Jonathan Browning Mtn iron mounted rifle in 1981 in .54cal. Used to put on demo shoots at 200yds with 130grs 3f & patched round ball knocking bowling pins over. The rifle is sighted in at 100yds with 90grs 3f and the same sight picture was used for the 200yds shot with the heavier powder load.

It shoots plum center! Took many deer and several moose with the rifle.

You might try to open "paint" program in your computer, and then open the photographs. Each photograph may be reduced, and perhaps changed from a png file to a jpeg file, then saved. That might allow you to post them.

I have an iron mounted JB mountain rifle also. I bought it as a 50 caliber, but found it to be too heavy so I had it bored out to 58. Handles better, and is a tack driver. Best deer rifle I have, cause it really puts them down, and I like the single set trigger.
