    Has anyone heard of Sothwest Muzzeloader Supply Company Inc in Angleton,TX?

    Dear members, Has anyone here heard of SMLS (Southwest Muzzeloader Supply company inc. ) in Angleton, TX. It was owned by Tony Gajewsky i believe and I think it closed in 1989. He did some work with Pietta or Uberti on some unmentionable shooting irons; but I have found a traditional .50...

    Welcome! A traditional.50 muzzeloader is definitely enough gun for anything you want to kill where you are located. They are a lot of fun and about as accurate as the crappy inline muzzeloaders that big box stores sell. Get something that looks good, feels good and tailor a load that is...

    Unfortunately I don't have the ability to see the rifle firsthand. I will likely pass on this one, I don't believe that it will be offered at the price i am comfortable with. Never know, i might find something else that im more comfortable with that I can see firsthand.

    I really appreciate you guys taking the time to do a little research and sharing your knowledge, thoughts and experience. I would like to try shooting flintlocks, and having an old one sounds pretty cool! However I want to be sensible and i don't want to spend too much. -Shea

    Thank you! Very good observation, I had a feeling that this may be kinda a mix of different parts.

    Thank you very much! I believe that you may be correct, its hard to see from photos. But i bet you are correct. Do you think this is a reasonable purchase?

    Hey all, I may have an opportunity to buy an "original" .36 caliber flintlock. Id love to hear your opinions about the pictures i am posting down below. I don't know who made it or when it was made. It may be a mish mash of old and new parts, and it does have some stock damage that was repaired...
