Any black powder geeks here on the forum? I am kicking around a winter project that will keep me out of the bar (and jail) during the long winter months when the range is cold and uninviting and came across this gem:
Some of these builders are putting together some spectacular pieces. I have grown bored with the unmanly breech loading 'suppository rifles' with their dull, characterless lines and smokeless propellants and this seems just the medicine for the gun 'blahs'.
Nice. I have to admit I've never really understood the attraction of getting a muzzleloader that looks like a centerfire, loads "sorta" like a centerfire, and shoots "almost" as well as a centerfire. Just my impression, not slagging anyone. If I wanted to go that route, I'd go for something like this that gives you the full historical experience.
I shoot muzzle loaders and used to build them as well as accessories as a small business.
They are fun, addictive, and very accurate if made well from good components.
they are ugly , cumbersome, and not very accurate at all if attention is not paid to details!
have fun, track of the Wolf is a great place to shop!
