    Front sight advice PLEASE

    F word I really really don’t want to re brown this barrel. It is a TVM Fowler I bought second hand off the gentlemen who built it from kit after he’d shot it for 12 years and I think his skills far surpass what I could do as you can probably guess from these results of my own amateurish bumbling

    Muzzleloader No Longer On Newstands

    Dang that sucks I’m a subscriber now but I first learned about its existence when I came upon it as a kid in a newsstand. The picture of an Indian with flintlock looking across a wooded river instantly caught my interest. Might not have gotten into muzzleloading at all if it wasn’t for that...
