Hi from Texas

[ahil925]

Hi you all,
I'm Anthony from far west Texas (Alpine currently). I've shot firearms all my life, but have never touched a muzzleloader. Right now I'm finding myself kinda lean on cash but with alot of spare time, so I decided to look into making my own ML. Fair warning, I'm not much of a traditionalist, so I'll probably make some of you weep if I ever do get around to finishing my projects. Being as I'm also an apartment dweller right now, thus limited in what tools I can use, it may be a looooong while before I catch anyone's ire.

Hopefully, once I've learned enough to confident in it, I might just attempt to put together an old fashioned smokepole.

Until then, I'll content myself bugging you all with silly questions and contemplating my planned underhammer abomination.

Welcome to the forums , Nothing wrong with an underhammer. Just don,t have a big following like the traditional sidelocks. Check at the gun counter in True Value and they can put you in touch with a few other folks that build and/or shoot traditional guns . :thumbsup:

I just recetly built an underhammer, I bought parts from different places and made a replica of a H&A Buggy Rifle. If I can be of any help, let me know. :hatsoff:

From one Texican to another, Howdy! Yea it doesnt get much more West Texas than Alpine, I'm on the Red River in Wichita County. M/L'ers are great fun and stress relievers, so join in and have a blast. ( no pun meant)
