Hello from S Central Pa

[D. Bowman]

Hello,

New to this forum not new to muzzleloading. I was bitten by the blackpowder bug in my mid teens when Pa held its first flintlock season 1974 or 1975 i think.
Now that I'm in my late 40's if i'm huntin i'm carring a flintlock.
I shoot some black powder matches and woods walks and for the last 8 years or so I have ben building Pa flintlock rifles( one of these days I might even be good at it)

Here are some pix of my first Rifle from a plank. when I first started I built a few pre carved kits from Brad Emig and TOW but this is my first scratch build (with help from a good friend who is a true master of the longrifle)

.62 cal Early Reading I used #21 & 22 in Rifles of Colonial America as a guide.

Welcome! I have been here for a short time and am really impressed with the amount of knowledge shared on this site. I live in Alaska now, but am originally from Chambersburg, PA. Have you ever shot at the St Thomas Sportsmans Club at their muzzleloader shoots ? That is where I participated in most of my shoots when I lived in PA.

Beautiful rifle, by the way !
