Hi,
Depending if you read HuntingPA you may recognize my screen name, if not, a brief introduction. As a long time fan of American history and firearms I've always been interested in muzzleloading firearms, especially flintlocks. I really had no idea until the past few years that people actually hunted with and still used them. I'm interested in getting one both as a student of history, it was my major,(though I later got a MA in Poli Sci, and a JD and I currently work as a lawyer) and of firearms, and as a desire to expand my hunting seasons. Only issue is finding one and convincing my wife its safe to store black powder in the house (or finding a friend to store it at)! I look forward to posting and finding out what to get for my first flintlock!
Thanks! :thumbsup:
