Canadian Dragoon
36 Cl.
Just wanted to say hello, I’m new here and looking to learn!
I’m not totally green in the black powder world but my experience is limited to a couple of scratch made percussion rifles I cobbled together from scrap parts over the years..
I found that I’m loosing interested in modern guns and it seems the flint bug has me in its grasp and I’m thinking I need at a 50 cal Hawken style rifle for whitetails and a short Brown Bess (75 cal 36” barrel ) that can serve double duty as a second deer gun and primary scattergun for turkey.
I’m kind of a wood guy as well and can’t leave well enough alone most of the time so I will undoubtedly restock both with my own wood if I come across something that has some fancy figure that jumps out at me.. I often keep forks and crotches to run through my sawmill looking for stock material..
Looking forward to learning from the forum..
Cheers
Rod
