Hello,
With the coming ban laws, I figure if I'm in California might as well go wayyy back and make a hobby of black powder shooting.
So...
I really like the finished rifle shown on Track of the Wolf link
Who do you recommend that can build me one like that? Left handed, flintlock & .45 caliber (I think. Unless you folks suggest a bigger/smaller ball).
Now I did a little scouting around and I'm thinking I might want Tennessee Valley Muzzleloading to do the work.
However they're a little sparse on pictures and their engraving work isn't showcased at all. I've e-mailed them, and last I heard they said they'd have to ask their carver about the work. Been about 5 days so... Does anyone here have any examples of their work?
Or perhaps a recommendation for another builder?
Also what twist rate would you recommend for someone who mainly wants to target shoot lead round ball, but might someday hunt deer (also with lead round ball)?
Thank you kindly folks!
