    Family heirloom Civil War pistol

    Hello from Dothan Alabama

    Thank you for allowing me to become part of the community. I am getting into traditional muzzleloading so I am here to ask lots of questions and to learn. I probably won't have much input for a while until I gain some experience so bare with me. I am a member of the Snipers Hide forum and they...
