Hello from North Eastern Utah, sorry to take so long introducing myself, got cought up in reading all the wonderful information here and over looked this. I've used muzzleloaders since Green River Rifle Works first opened it's doors here in my area and the idea of black powder and front stuffing got my interest. I've built several kits, purchased some off the shelf rifles and pistols, italian built, then tried my hand at putting a set of parts and a precarved stock together, three of those and all went fairly well, two caplocks and one flintlock, and one flintlock pistol. I am very happy to have located this site. Stew.
