They had some craftsman at the Springfield Armory.
You can see all sorts of cool stuff like that if your in the area.
(I don't recall an example of that rifle but it's been a while)

That's pretty cool! Was that rifle issued to Dr. Seuss?

[LOKNLOD]

That's straight up, real-deal steampunk right there.

Why am I not surprised that you could pull another gun I never heard of out of a hat?

Because she's pretty much the ultimate gun hipster?

My first thought was 'you mean a Pederson device?'

Then I was corrected. That's awesome.

(On a related note, I actually know what a Charleton is :) My gun nerdery might be on the same continent.)
