    Thanks for the invite. A distance away, wish it were a little closer. A few of us are going to get together around here and start throwing sparks and making smoke.

    New to the Forum but not Muzzleloading. Been shooting Flints since the mid 70's. Life member NMLRA & NRA. Went online to look for something new to build and found this forum. Looks good.
