    Ordered Jim’s SMR Today.

    I've been a black powder shooter since 1972. Over the years I have owned many original and reproduction muzzle loaders. My favorites are American military flintlock and percussion muskets and rifle-muskets (especially P53 Enfields). I also like American Longrifles, but have never owned an...
