Blow Tubes

Post by MacRob46 »

Apologies if this has been asked before...

Did the original buffalo hunters use blow tubes? I know there are accounts of them pouring water down the bores of their rifles but do not remember anything being said about tubes...

Thanks..

I read somewhere of them using wipe rods and blowing down muzzle before using them but think blow tubing was a target rifle invention.

water might not have been the only fluid poured down barrels.
