    Anyone else on here ever buy a pedersoli with bad sanding quality on the stock?

    what dave person said ... a little work with a scraper or a file / riffler will clean that up - you'll probably want to go over the whole stock with scrapers anyway. good luck with your build :)

    Recommendations for first flintlock

Either one will, if properly cared for, last you the rest of your life and will shoot straighter than most of us can point. Or you can save up andother couple...

    Lyman Great Plains

    Why only one?

    EMPHASIS ADDDED i would suspect that this is because the rules are written by those who know very little about hunting, or muzzle loading, or how to do both at the same time. Without the usual political rant, i would posit that i am again disappointed in our legislature. ... well, we keep...
