First of all I think this website is great. Within the past 5 years I just started getting into the love of black powder guns and folks. I just recently ( Oct 5, 2006 ) bought a .40 cal Southern rifle ( flint ) from Tip Curtis Frontier Shop in the White. Tip Curtis is such a terrific guy. He gave me all the info I needed and took me in the back of his shop to show me what to do. I am only a couple hours away from his shop. That is probably dangerous since I have the fever.
