Howdy, Mr. McGuire,
Greetings from Texas!
Welcome to the Dark Side (Black Powder, that is).
You say that you're just getting into muzzleloading, but those leather pieces say that you've been leatherworking for a while! If your skill in woodworking is on par with your leatherworking, I expect we'll be seeing a really nice rifle! Make sure to post photos, for us less-skilled shooters to enjoy!
I was born in Schuylkill County back a few years ago, and I'm just learning about the Lehigh Valley rifles.
There's a lot to learn, and a lot of the folks here already know it, so just ask, and you'll get a whole bunch of good answers, and some irrelevant opinions, but that's how folks are!
