    First kit build

    I have owned several ML's in the past. Both Hawkens, (percussion) one in 50 Cal and the other in 54 Cal. I decided I wanted a FL, so I started looking at my options. I decided to start out on the low side and ordered a Traditions Kentucky Rifle kit from ML.com. Well, it arrived yesterday and...

    Help Fixing Up Inherited Muzzleloaders

    Howdy Folks! As the title implies, I recently inherited a handful of muzzle loaders that are all in various stages of disrepair. My best guess is that these were all old kit guns since none of the steel has been blued. From what I know, they've all been sitting in a garage for the past 20...
