Friends, our 2nd Amendment rights are always under attack and the NRA has been a constant for decades in helping fight that fight.
We have partnered with the NRA to offer you a discount on membership and Muzzleloading Forum gets a small percentage too of each membership, so you are supporting both the NRA and us.

For years I had a Knap-In here in western VA. Twice I have hauled folks to town and the hospital. Usually spalling accidents with coarse stuff. Rocks can cut ya'!
