    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...

    Black Powder, Is there a shortage?

    The best thing we can do in this time of insanity is to get rid of things we really don't need or want and trade them for things that we really do, like BP ect...and also learn new skills. Make your own rnd balls and such...invite a friend or two and do a cost sharing work day. Ive even gone as...

    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...

    Sorry for the gramatical errors! My eyes have been tired. But i will probably be looking for some advice once I receive pictures of the flintlock. Supposedly its shootable, but I want to be safe and make sure any repairs or maintenance is done properly. I also want to make sure the price is...

    Because it is an inline muzzeloader am i allowed to talk about it on here? If not I would gladly personal message you. I like traditional sidelocks but i figured a interesting inline was needed in my arsenal. -Shea

    Im not quite sure why it happens but it can happen with conventional shotguns too. Ive seen it when ive patterned smokless shells. You might try messing with your powder charge a bit in small incriments and see what it does for your patterns; tjough it ñooks good enough to hit clays with. You...
