Muzzleloaders are more understanding than women.

Easier to get along with also.

Every time I buy one, I tell the misses its my first one! So as far as she's concerned, 1 is enough. Welcome and hello from PA.

ML's are like Potato Chips, 1 is never enough. My wife stopped telling me, 'no more', a long time ago. She knows I have selective hearing. Welcome from NW Pa. Semper Fi.

you can never be too rich, too thin, or own too many flintlocks.

LOL It is not just muzzleloaders. The wife says I have enough iron here to make a local blip in the earth's magnetic field.

Nothing wrong with that.

I have enough of them that I have no idea how many I have. There are 6 long guns and a cap and ball revolver just in my office waiting to be smuggled into the house.

I believe I posted this, but a couple of years ago.
The president of a gun club I belonged to 20 or more years ago decided he needed gun safes. Two were delivered and set up in his basement. He commenced to bring guns to the basement passing his TV watching wife enroute. After an hour or so the wife said: "Just how many ?+(*&^)%$# guns do you have?!?!?!?!?"

That’s why I have them sent to my office and smuggle them home and into a safe when my wife isn’t around. Then I’m safe as long as I never have to many out at once because to her they all pretty much look alike.

Always had a hankering for a MA Deuce, but, aside from the ammo cost, I do not think I could bluff that one by her.

share it with friends and neighbors. You know, just take turns.

When at rondy I have doubled and tripled up with my one rifle.
Those poor flat landers production guns stopped working.
I consider it a badge of honor.

Hi Nit Wit and thanks for the welcome. I found the Ancient Ones of Maine Facebook group (great pictures) but the AOOM.com site took me to a gaming site(?) in Indonesia. Did it get hacked or did I screw up looking for it?
Good news is that the Vous location is only a couple hours away. I hail from Shapleigh, ME.

No one can never be enough… unless you are the guy in the saying beware of the guy who shoots one gun

This needed to be quoted. Brilliant!

After several decades of competing with ML, if I've learned one thing ....
The fellow who only owns or shoots one gun is usually the one to beat

I guess I was blessed with a Better Half that became interested in firearms. She ended up with more than I ever had.
True story. My wife wanted a Kimber handgun. We went to the store, filled out all of the forms. Time to pick up after a week of required time; Wife said - I changed my mind. I looked at the store owner. I ended up getting that gun. ONE WEEK LATER, Wife said; I WANT ONE!! Ended up buying the same type of gun. Mine equipped with red laser, Wife's equipped with green laser. SHE WAS HAPPY -- MADE ME HAPPY!

Used to think so, but now I know better.
Started out here in Maine with a TC hawken back in 1985 for a few years. Big fun but then went inline with a TC FireHawk. Then about 25 years not doing any ML hunting. Finally I got to remembering how much fun the muzzleloaders were and picked up a Traditions in-line last year. Just recently I was gifted a CVA Hawkin that I hope to carry in woods this year.
Looking forward to learning about the care and feeding of the CVA. Thanks for having me aboard.

Can't say you folks didn't warn me - LOL
Two more in the gun cabinet over the last two years. Now just need to find time to play with the whole bunch of 'em.

The wife challenged me to say how many guns I have in the house without walking around and counting. I could not do it.

I once decided to build a few MLS maybe even sell a couple to support my new hobby. 27 muzzleloaders later I'm still building. It's going to bite ya...
Welcome and enjoy the hobby...
