I always wanted a "Muskatoon" or other short carbine...
Nigh on to a half century ago, I was fresh out of high school, and my state had a separate muzzle loader whitetail season.
Guy in one of my college classes had scarfed one of the then new Navy Arms J P Murray carbines. Copy of a Confederate carbine, which was basically a shorter 1841 Mississippi. Gaspingly good looking in a way only brass and decent walnut can be.
Anyway, he took 2 deer in 2 seasons with the .58 Minie carbine. One in muzzleloader, and one in regular firearms season.
45+ years later, they still sell the Murray, although at over a thousand bucks, you have to be pretty dedicated.
