    G'day all

    Hi, My name is Jon, I'm new to muzzle loading firearms. I've just put a matchlock on lay-away, so I'm trying to get as much information on them prior to getting it in my paws. Overall I have a great interest in the development of firearms from gonnes through to modern technology. I'm fairly...
