Wow .........what a place I have found here. :thumbsup:
After many years of different types of hobbies, and now in my retirement years I am settled. My strong interest in historical events, in particular the World Wars, leads me to pickup arms and somewhat feel what our forefathers went through. :hatsoff:
Living in a large city, a country boy at heart I can now go out in the open spaces and let the powder take me back. :grin:
For now ,ball and cap pistols will be the arms of choice.
Looking forward to read and ask for help and advice.
Thanks for letting me in.

hewy,

welcome from a northern CA ML'er of only 5+ years.

let me recommend two excellent easy reads that were suggested to me when i joined:

1)Percussion Pistols and Revolvers - history, performance, and practical use (j.bates and m.cumpston)

2) the Complete Blackpowder Handbook (sam fadala)

both can be gotten used for under $10 and are excellent references for almost everything you'll need to get started.

give me a buzz if you plan on coming to the Bay Area anytime soon; i'll be glad to show ya' around.

have fun and don't hesitate to ask questions,

:thumbsup:
