Hello all, as a kid I went to the rendezvous in Pagosa Springs many times, and I was fascinated with black powder guns. Not so much the 'lifestyle' though. I thought it was neat but the GUNS captured my attention. I talked to a lot of people, shot a few rifles and really enjoyed it, the seed planted 40-ish years ago finally took root. I am again very much interested in the black powder shooting. Currently I have a Remington Navy spaghetti pistol I have no plan for and a Cabelas Investarms 54 cal plains style flint spaghetti rifle. The Investarms rifle is superb for what it is, my copy anyway. Once I learned how to manage it I have had dead solid reliability, it is also more accurate than I expected for sure with PRB and real black. I have hunted deer, elk, bear and varmints all my life, but last year I hunted primarily with a bow and ML and I enjoyed it more than I have hunting with a centerfire for a long time. I am planning a build and buying tools, and have been lurking here reading everything I can (ALR also) for months. Thanks a ton to those that contribute and especially the 'how-to' posts.
Thanks, Howard.
Thanks, Howard.
