    Umm, yeah, that’s what I’m afraid of... wanting a musket! My recent interest in black powder was generated by reading Chernow’s “Hamilton“ and revisiting in full Burn’s marathon Civil War documentary. I read “Grant and Sherman“ and “Citizen Sherman“ and reading “Sherman’s Civil War - Selected...

    I’m a newbie on the forum and haven’t been serious about sport shooting since the 1970s. You can do the math! Recently got charged up on black powder reading a few books about the Civil War and have been looking for a 1851 Colt Navy (replica). Found an unused, beautiful 1851 Navy US Grant...

    I live in a residential neighborhood. Seeing this cannon makes me wish I was on my own 10 acres. Ha. Nice!

    Pietta or Navy Arms LeMat... Same?

    Got it. Thanks much; did some refresher reading and makes perfect sense. See what years away from shooting does?! Appreciate all the help.

    It’s coming!

    Miss those autumn leaves and first cool snap. I’ll see some leave changes here in west Florida about... February? Planted a 12’ red maple this summer just so I catch a glimpse of color.

    Pietta or Navy Arms LeMat... Same?

    I’m new to BP. Can you please expound upon “groove to groove” or direct me to a proper source. I enjoy reading too. Thank you.

    Pietta or Navy Arms LeMat... Same?

    Wow Enfield58, I really appreciate this intel! I’m saving your response and will refer to it as a “voice of experience;” the best kind of teacher. Thanks for the detailed response! Very helpful.

    Pietta or Navy Arms LeMat... Same?

    Thanks for both replies. I agree with your assessments. 1851 Navy definitely is my first choice to get going. I’m actually looking for the US Grant Commemorative Set. At some point - with experience and more funds - the LeMat would be a desired addition. But I’m not kidding myself, as Smokey...

    Pietta or Navy Arms LeMat... Same?

    Hello, I’m new to the forum and black powder arms and energized to get going. In addition to the 1851 Navy (I like the history, design and calibre), I’m intrigued by the impressive if imperfect LeMat. Question: I’ve seen both a Pietta and Navy Arms LeMat for sale. I understand that Pietta made...

    Newbie from Florida

    Greetings from Florida. It’s been many years since I’ve pursued sport shooting but my interest in Civil War (and American Revolution) history has me seriously thinking about getting a BP pistol (or two?). I‘ve ordered a few books (Fadala and Adler) to get me up to speed in the interim. Very...
