Another Michigan newcomer

[RhinoDave]

New to the forum that is. I hope to gain lots of knowledge and information here so I can build a decent long rifle. Been lurking for about a month now ever since I picked up a C&B revolver and caught the bug to get back into black powder again. I was into muzzleloaders thirty years ago and during that time owned and built several kit guns and dabbled at inlaying with silver and brass. The arrival of kids and economic pressures brought to an end my hobby as I sold off everything and never managed to get the time or resources to start over again. All I have from that era is a few pictures. I sure miss some of those smoke poles.
One of the few pictures I have left.

Welcome to the forum. Always good to see another builder. You may have some secret trick we could all use. On the other hand there are a lot of builders here that are willing to share their secrets. If you are around the Genesee/Lapeer county area We may see each other on a firing line.
Keep yur powder dry. Len

Thank you all for the warm welcome. When I get a chance, I'll scan in some of my old pictures and post them in the photo section. Not exactly traditional work but I enjoyed doing it at the time.
