I had some health issues that caused me to drop off the forum, hunting and several other aspects of my life. But now, I'm better and am coming back. In fact, I just bought a T/C Hawken .45 off of Gunbroker. Whew!! The ad said it needed a good cleaning....that should be finished about February :wink: Anyway, it is good to be back, and I look forward to reading all I have missed. BTW, I plan to get started soon on a TN flinter. Roundball has had an affect on me with his posts about those guns.
