Welcome from SWARK! The smells of burning gasoline and burning powder are both a fever!!
Abilene, and I can't afford a LeMat, it's a Denix. Although I did have a Pietta, I got talked out of it. And a Patterson and aRogers. I finally stopped kicking myself for it. But at my age what's done is done. But I did do 6 Kirst conversions with the coins and got me a SxS 12 muzzleloader to boot.Welcome from The Woodlands.
I like your LeMat. Did you age it, or have it done?
Or is it original?
Looks like you'll fit in here nicely.
Where in The Great State do you live?
I'm between Conroe and Houston, in the piney woods.
Greetings from the Piney Woods of East Texas. Enjoy.Was referred here by a member on a social group. Been scanning the posts for a few days now and very interesting. I haven’t been into black powder too long. Maybe 10 years. Developed neuropathy about and had to retire from roofing. Before that was a mechanic in the oilfield industry. Gunsmith/shop before that. Took up a hobby restoring antique (hitmiss) engines. They got to heavy for me. Thought about going back to firearms but the laws changed too much for an FFL. One day I watched Gods and Generals. Did some research on their weapons. Got very excited about it. Ordered me a couple kits, Kentucky long rifle and a pistol. Put them together and shot them. (After ordering everything I needed.) It was like a fever. Started collecting Confederate revolvers. What I couldn’t buy I put together after extensive research. I have too many to post pictures. I buy sell and trade. Especially non working abused beat up neglected. I like working on them.
Well I’m getting long winded here so I’ll just say my Thank You and hope to learn more from here.
Sincerely, Vic
