My second and third builds were with Numrich (H&A) barrels both 45 - 1 in 56"twist - both shot well with a 440 ball denim patch and 90grs of FFg - took my first muzzleloaded Deer with one (NZ Red Deer).

Marlborough Muzzleloaders shoot on the 3rd Sunday of the Month usually starting about 10-ish. They're a great bunch of lads well worth the drive over from Nelson.

I agree - check the proof marks; you'll know instantly whether its Belgian or English. I have a very similar Gun by Colley - definitely English!

I put one of these together or rather rebuilt someone's attempt at the kit!! I eventually replaced the lock with an L&R RPL- that was over 20 years ago. I think the barrel is USA made - it still shoots really well with 60grs of FFFg and a 440ball with a ticking patch - as good as some of my...

Thanks for all the welcomes - made a start on the 58 - so far the barrel is in and the lock nearly so. Pecatonica sent a lovely piece of Maple. Looking forward to continuing the build. Off to Blenheim in Marlborough on Sunday to shoot their annual 'Round Ball Trophy' - hopefully take Rudyard...

HI I am definately in Nelson New Zealand - I have dealt with several US based outfits to get my supplies: Dixie; Log Cabin; R E Davis; Track of the Wolf; Douglas Barrels; Pecatonica and more - all have given me great service. We are a small bunch over here - we lost a great benefactor when Tony...
