Finally got there.....

[BLAHMAN]

I got a chance to visit Dixon's in PA over the weekend...what a place!!! Got a few things for future projects. You folks over there are really lucky that a place like that is close to you. It's an 8 hour drive for me! I do plan to go back.

Congratulations Blahman, We are fortunate to have Dixon's so close. I use Cabela's as an excuse to go to Dixon's. Check their web site for the exact dates of the gunmaker's fair in July. I went this past year for the first of many times. I hope you can make it back in July for the fair, it is worth the trip.

Dixon's is indeed the spot for finding what you need for this black powder hobby. And I know for a fact that there is a pretty nice left-handed rifle for sale there with a .45 cal. 42" Getz barrel, Siler lock, and a fine maple stock. It would make a great Christmas present, and it would help finance some old guy's caribou hunt with the .54 flinter.
