    Yes, after your post I did some research on the Greyhawk, looks a lot like mine. Did it have a removeable plug at the rear end of the barrel?

    Yes you are correct...learning is a never ending process. I also got a kick out of your comment, " definitely 21st Century Period correct" as did some others on this thread. Good quip....

    When I bought it I was brand new to muzzle loading and none of my other hunting buddies participated in the Flintlock seasons so I had to learn it on my own. The guy behind the counter suggested it as "easy."

    Yes, I have put some deer meat in the freezer over the years with it SlidePicker and it has extended my seasons and hunting time as well.

    I think that is a fair price. I paid around $500 15 years ago.

    Yes it is not a pretty gun, but practical. Thanks for the suggestion on the trigger. I have just lived with it since I purchased it new but I am ready lighten the pull. I will check that the machining burrs are all removed first before I start fiddling with the spring.

    And yes I agree that we need to encourage as many people, especially our youth, to learn to enjoy the outdoor sports of hunting and fishing. My sportsmen club has a black powder sub-group that provides support and instruction for anyone interested in shooting, hunting and black powder safety.

    I have not tried loose powder in it, only pellets. I think I will try some loose powder and see if I can see the difference.

    Ok I am probably going to open Pandora's box here but what the heck. I have been using my T/C FireStorm since I have adopted muzzle loading hunting here in PA about 15 years ago. No disrespect to any of our classic, wood, long riflemen brethren here....but I love this gun. I don't worry about...
