    Everyone's thoughts about these rifles ?

    I have been inactive on this forum for quite some time. I dont have a muzzleloader yet and I have been meaning to get around to it. I walked into a local outdoor shop today and they had some muzzleloaders on the wall for sale. Only three stood out to me the rest were old rust buckets that werent...

    Looking into my first muzzleloader

    I agree with your opinion Murphinator. I just got my first doe with my .45 cal Thompson Center Hawken Flinter I picked up back in August. I practiced for three months and got my load set up. I was getting good groups on the target. Then that first deer walked in front of me and I got the rush of...

    Didnt know this thread was still active so I will give an update. Mr.Longford tried contacting me about selling the rifles again in May of this year to which I turned him down again. My buddy in Talbot County PD informed me that Mr.Longford was trying to sell the muzzleloaders in question...

    I have a question for the Smoothbore crowd

    Hey everyone, as of late I have been looking to buy my first muzzleloader. I wanted it to be a flintlock rifle but I am having trouble finding one. At the same time I want a fowler for Turkey and other bird/small game. So i figured hell why not go with a smoothbore and cover all my bases. My...

    He also falsely claimed a gunsmith in Denton appraised his rifles. That Gunsmith is the son in law to the gunsmith I and SmoothboreMurph had on hand when I looked at the rifles in person. We talked to the gunsmith in Denton last night and he said he has never seen the rifles nor has he ever...

    Yes this seller is claiming to have the exact same rifles as AZ Muzzleloaders more or less. I let AZ Muzzleloaders know already. I figured I would let other members know so they don't buy his rifle as they are in poor condition and one doesn't have a functioning lock. I almost got conned into...

    Yes, he is taking AZ Muzzleloaders gunbroker descriptions and using them to try and sell his rifles, he has falsely claimed a friend of AZ Muzzleloaders named Mike Roby engraved his rifles, one of the Muzzleloaders doesn't have a functional lock and he has falsely claimed to have had them...

    The seller is using AZ Muzzeloaders' information, from AZ Muzzelloaders' ads on gunbroker, I mean. He is claiming his rifles are the exact same as the rifles AZ Muzzleloaders has for sale and claiming that they have been engraved by a friend of AZ Muzzleloaders named Mike Roby. They are not and...

    Yea his father had been trying to sell his rifles since 2021 and SmoothboreMurph had even look at them a few times but never bought one. I and the older gentleman settled on $1,350 for his .50 cal as we negotiated down from $1,800. He really wanted to see them gone and off to someone who had use...

    I dont think he is a member on the forum yet, but he said he will plan to sell on this forum as well as gunbroker. He is located here in Maryland specifically Easton, Maryland. His father who was the original seller passed away and I do not believe he was a member on this forum either. I just...

    This was the first time I was going to buy a muzzleloader rifle in person and had it not been for the backup I brought with me I would've bought an overpriced mantle ornament. All rifles have a value but that doesn't mean someone should steal another rifles value and claim it as theirs or...

    I figured I would post this here just to give a heads up to forum members

    Recently I've made two posts about buying my first flintlock rifle from a local seller. Last week the seller fell ill and passed away yesterday. His son wanted me to look over the rifles and see if I still wanted to buy one. Yesterday I and @SmoothboreMurph looked over the rifles but the seller...

    What does a longer barrel add to a rifle's ability that a shorter one gives up ?

    * The .40 Cal rifle weighs 7lbs, has a 46" barrel that is Swamped A weight. It has a set trigger, it is 62" OAL and has a Cherry stock that is a Southern Mountain Rifle configuration. Length of pull is 13 3/4". * The .45 Cal rifle weighs 6lbs 10oz, has a 46" barrel that is Swamped A weight. It...

    What does a longer barrel add to a rifle's ability that a shorter one gives up ?

    I have seen a lot of posts on here about just buying rifles and eventually you'll buy and buy until you will have a house full of muzzleloaders. That being said I really would like to have one good one that will hopefully last me from now until a grow to old to hunt and shoot anymore. At least a...

    What does a longer barrel add to a rifle's ability that a shorter one gives up ?

    Where I hunt on my farm the woods isn't too thick. I'm not hunting in brush thicker than a stone wall. There are many deer trails running through the woods that are quite wide. I would say the deer woods I hunt are quite open with a seldom few areas of overgrowth. I don't hunt from a tree stand...

    What does a longer barrel add to a rifle's ability that a shorter one gives up ?

    Hello everyone, recently I popped a question on here about a 46" Barrel .50 caliber rifle and it was pretty vague after not being able to take pictures of the rifle per the seller's request. The same seller called me last night letting me know he will be willing to sell 7 more of his rifles and...

    Thoughts on the MTC New England Folwer

    A local gun store near me has a new in the box never fired Middlesex Trading Company New England Folwer .69 caliber. It is a great looking folwer for a great price in my opinion as they look to be about $800 new. Has anyone ever owned or fired/handled one of these fowlers. I know they are...
