Introduction to Forum!

[gordy]

This looks to be a very good Forum,more traditional weapons featured than many[url] others.In[/url] the short time I've spent here,saw some posters from the CVA Forum'In fact thats howe I found it! A friend from the CVA site gave me the .com. I've been useing/shooting/repairing and enjoying firearms for nearly 60 years. Only been shooting black powder for 10 years or so.Wish I had gotten started with BP many years ago.I rarely shoot any centerfire guns anymore.I reside in far west Texas and Florida,right now I'm in Florida,I prefer Texas for hunting and shooting,but Florida is not too bad!All my guns are percussion,if I live long enough,hope to get a flinter, or two or three Etc.I build and craft all my gear,do some stocking build a little furniture,inlays Etc.I prefer to shoot real BP but Pyrodex does well when I can't obtain any.One thing with muzzleloading,theres always something new (or old)to learn.Hope to spen some enriching time on Your Forum. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gifGordy

gordy, As you do alittle dreaming, check out this web site: www.cainsoutdoor.com
They deal with all kinds of black powder rifles, percussion, flintlocks, and kits for both models of rifles. They have all kinds of supplies. I enjoy checking out this web site. Take care, Steve

Rick: Thats more snow then I want to see!Been in the South too long ,it's got me spoiled.Lived and worked many years in the white stuff in Northen N.Y.State Mostly outside on construction,I've seen it -42degrees without the wind chill factor.Anyone that thinks it don't get cold up there,has never been through a bad winter! Still hopeing to get up Your way a little later.(when it warms up!)Again:thanks for steering me to this Forum.CVA is good but it is basically an in-line Forum,lots of knowlageable people,just not enough traditional talk.Mtn-Man2u: Your right about Cains,they do have some good deals on bbls.locks Etc.I don,t go there too often along with Track of the Wolf,Thunder Ridge and others.When I go to thease sites I get in trouble with the Wife as I tend to drool on the keyboard.Right now I'm building a patch box for my .45cal. Kentucky.I've made several over the past few years,most were fairly simple,This one is a little more elaborate,and is taking a little longer.I get much enjoyment working on traditional muzzleloaders and the many objects that go with them.Horns,Possible Bags.Loading Blocks,Knives,sheaths,Shot Pouches,Powder Chargers,Inlays Etc.and if I don't get too senile in the next couple of years,by gar I'll build me a flinter.May have to have the Grandsons hold it up while I shoot it but thats OK. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gifGordy
