    question on shooting

    thanx for all the info!!!! I might contact Great Plains and see if any interchange. I guess when i was young and knew no different right handed guns worked great but when you know there is something specifically designed for you you gotta have it.

    question on shooting

    So, I am limited to what can shoot being left handed and I was woundering if it is safe to shoot a flintlock or percussion that is right handed? Can you swap barrels onto rifles of the same brand like put a .32 on a .54 frame? like on a GPR. thanx travis

The guns that Cabela's sell are not Traditions, they are Intera-Arms. Which I have never heard of, and from my personal experience aren't the...

    Newbie question on percussion

    Thanx you guys, I really appreciate all the excellent info. It looks like I should go with a round ball, 54. cal. 1n60 Now do most of you shoot straight black powder or do you shoot pyrodex? Does either give you greater performance in trajectory wise. I know the pyro is cleaner. I don't like the...
