hi from central Jersey

[buddypatel]

Hello, Just joined today. I am more of a collector than a shooter of black powder. although I do own Thompson Center Hawkin style flintlock and a percussion. Both 50 cal. Havn't shot either of them in about a year or so. My collection consists of War between the States percussion rifled muskets. Mostly Model 1861 contractor arms and some Europe imported arms. I just started collecting Revolutionary War firearms. I belong to some local clubs, including the Jersey Shore Antique Arms Collectors Club and The Forks of the Delaware.I hope to get a lot of info from this forum.

Thanks
Pat McGinn
