Greetings from Colorado

I ordered a Traditions .50 caliber Kentucky Flintlock rifle from MidwayUSA. It is back ordered and they have no idea when examples will arrive. No problem, I'm not in a hurry ... if I were to fire it at my favorite shooting spot, it would probably burn down the whole Front Range. But I AM Looking forward to getting it for the winter. I have started collecting the accoutrements. Also pulled my replica 1860 Colt Army out of the back of the vault, and was pleasantly surprised to find no rust at all even though I haven't fired it in 20 years. It's an EMF Company pistol that I have had since the early 1980's.

Welcome! I used to live in the Springs many years back, Widefield actually. Dad was stationed at Carson at the time, they eventually retired back there.

The nice thing about Colorado is that it's so dry things tend to not rust. Welcome from Denver.

After reading of the exploits and enjoyment folks here have expressed, I decided not to wait for the backordered rifle. So I ordered a Deluxe version of the Traditions .50 cal Kentucky FL from a place that indicates it's in stock ... Muzzle-Loaders.com. And cancelled the order from midwayUSA.com. Everything else is also ordered, including Goex 2f and 3f powders.

Forecast Denver/Boulder: 96 yesterday, 96 & Smoke today, 90 tomorrow ... and a high of 35 with Snow for Tuesday. (that's Colorado)
