Seems like the older I get the further back in time I go with Rifles. Just getting into flintlocks. So I hope to learn a lot from the forum. rob

Hello, Wichoun, when you eventually fire a primitive arquebus or even a hand-cannon, you will feel about 700-800 years fall off. It is a most liberating feeling. Of course, with rifled weapons, you can only reach back to about the late 1400's to the early 1500's depending on who you ask. But it is worth the trouble to actually make one, and realize gun control will never fully own you. Molon Labe..

thank you all for the kind welcome. I can tell already this is a good group for me. And Treestalker, I like the thought on building one. I may look for a nice kit as a winter project.
