Welcome from California.
Hey Bob, I lived in Cedar Park many years ago but now I hale from New Braunfels. I'm a member of the White Smoke Brigade as well as the Texas Free Trappers. We have a monthly shooting match and hold a rendezvous twice a year so make the trip down here and make some smoke. There is a .50 muzzle loader that you can use if you don't have something to shoot for now.Hello Y'all!
I'm new to both muzzleloaders in general and to the forum as well. I’ve always wanted to build a muzzleloading flintlock firearm ever since I saw the gunsmith at Williamsburg, VA when I was 6 (I'm now 65 and retired). Having been born and raised in York, PA, I would love to build a York rifle, but for numerous reasons, I will instead opt for an American pistol, probably from a Cabin Creek Muzzloader "kit" - their shop is < 5 mi from where I grew up.
In any event, I recently purchased what appears to be a North African Jezail Camel Gun with a snaphaunce lock. Though it's currently pretty filthy, from what I can tell the lock appears to be complete minus two of the three screws that attach it to the stock. and I hope to recondition it to working order, if possible. I noticed a thread here titled "Anyone shooting N. African snaphaunces?", and expect to add to that discussion.
