Bonjour from Canada

[BigD63]

Hello All,
My name is Denis and I'm relatively new to muzzleloading. Three years ago, I got a good deal on a Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle .50cal and I have had a blast with it since. In June, I purchased a Pietta cap/ball revolver .36cal which has yet to be delivered pending gouv permits. Lately I attempted to re-stock on percussion caps and became aware of the shortage of said caps. Well, when life gives you lemons, buy a flintlock! I got a fairly good deal on a late production (52xxxx) Thompson Centre .50cal Hawken flintlock. I just received it yesterday and am still waiting for a powder order which includes 4F priming powder. Hopefully I will be able to get out and make some noise/smoke on the weekend (weather permitting). I am quite ignorant as to the subtleties of flintlocks, but am eager to learn and welcome any advice. I do not get the same kick out of my modern firearms as I used to...maybe that's part of aging (not so) gracefully! I seem to be gravitating more and more towards black powder.
Well, a big HOWDY to you all...I'm glad to be here!
