My first muzzleloader!

[Salty_Possum]

Hello the camp!

My first muzzleloader I bought a little while back. Still working on getting my gear together so I can go shooting but it's not a bad rifle for $135 after a Mosin trade in. She's a .45 cal marked "dikar spain", she's used but she's in good condition :grin:

Those are actually good, solid rifles and can be surprisingly accurate. I like the way they shoulder and handle and almost bought a new one once. Enjoy.

I got started with one just like it. The one i had was a tack driver with 60grns of fff, a .015 patch and a .440 ball. Im shure you'll have some fun with it.

Mine is a flintlock and it also is a tack driver with the same load. The only barrel mark on mine is Spain. They pinned the ram rod ends too.

Good shooters! :thumbsup:

A lot of people started out with those or guns like them. Have fun with it!

Do I understand you correctly that you gave $135 and a Mosin Nagant rifle for this gun?

What's the going value of Mosin Nagants these days? Just curious, J.D.

Buying: $150-$250
Selling/trading in: $50-$70

My local gun shop is a good place, the owner gave me a $70 trade value for it, the rifle was originally $200 before taxes.

they start to multiply fast.

they start to multiply fast.

that's true, for sure ... by the way, never put two muzzle loaders next to one another in the gun safe ... do you have any idea what they do when it's dark and quiet and they think nobody's looking?

OK - let's keep things "G" rated here and simply ask what's the gestational period on a flintlock?

Now you've gone and done it! Soon you'll be talking about locks stocks & barrels, and not mean padlocks, chicken stocks, and wine barrels :blah:

Life will seem empty if your clothes don't smell like burnt powder :idunno:

And ya might as well name that there rifle gun "potato chip" cuz you'll never be happy with just one :rotf:
