Lewis and Clark History
Lewis's Air Rifle

Meriwether Lewis purchased an air gun with his own money at Harpers Ferry, while purchasing supplies for the expedition. The air gun was utilized to impress the Indians that the Corps would encounter. The air gun was probably manufactured by Isiah Lukens, horologist and gunsmith of Philadelphia; it was returned to him after Lewis's death in 1809 and sold at an auction on Luken's death in 1847, discovered and identified in 1976.

Man, thats a beautiful air gun you got! I saw that L&C air gun on a segment of This old Gun. I didn't have a clue they even existed at that time.

That's a sweet gun, I also had no idea such a thing existed

How does this work? Does it have a built in chamber that you can fill before going out for a hunt that will give you a few shots? Or do you just attach the nitrogen tank like a paintball gun and take it out with you? What is the shelf life on these guns before they have to be worked over?

Congrats on the buck! Looks like there were many differnt weapons to choose from in the bed of your truck.....alcohol or caffeine overdose, baseball bat, high lift jack bludgeoning.........LOL, just kidding you, and nice air rifle by the way. I've seen some of the youtube's of those, they have pretty amazing capabilities.

killed a 10pt non-typical Sat with .270 at just over 100yds. fully doable with .458 Quakenbush Air rifle.

dressed out at about 130lb, definitely a mature deer about 5 years old. normally never see a mature buck like this, except during rut.

That's a crazy looking rack. Think it was broken off early when the antlers were soft?
