Hello from Bulgaria

[bobi13]

My name is Bobi and I am from Bulgaria. My hobby is restoration of old Balkan and Ottoman weapons. My favourite rifles are Sliven boylia and shishane. I participate in the reconstruction of the uprisings in Bulgaria and shoot with a boylia. I will be happy to exchange knowledge with fellow Ottoman weapon enthusiasts. I have a lot of experience and knowledge about boylia and Balkan shishane. I have my own facebook group "restoration of old balkan weapon".

Getting a real barrel from Bobby Hoyt for my 'Victorian' Balkan matchlock

Woo hoo! Bought this year's ago for cheap, really cheap ... taking the chance that it might be able to be made into something someday, but also learning from RickyStL that it was likely built as a Victorian copy. It was "the thing" in those days to decorate your house or castle with arms that...

Welcome from Upstate NY (where all the local buildings are two-story). So great to hear of muzzleloaders in other lands. A tradition that brings us closer.

Keep your powder dry and watch your back trail.

Hello Bobi

Welcome to the Forum from Missouri

Thanks for joining us. I am also an enthusiast with muzzle loading guns from the Ottoman Empire and own a number of the guns in shooting condition. I've seen some of your restoration work recently posted in the Pre-Flintlock section of the Forum. You are definitely Master Class in your skill level. Looking forward to more photos and discussions. Also, great to hear muzzle loading appears alive and well in Bulgaria. Again, welcome.

Rick
