Antique Air Rifles

[Munro Williams]

I'm trying to find out as much as I can about large caliber air rifles. Apparently the Lewis and Clark expedition had a .54 caliber and the Austrians had a unit using only air rifles.

I've seen a few photos and was recently quite taken by the idea of an air rifle powerful enough for deer hunting.

Any assistence will be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've posted information on both the Lewis & Clark and the Austrian military airgun elsewhere here at TFL. You may be delighted to know that the Lewis & Clark still exists.
