I am almost 75 years old, built my first muzzleloader at age 15. Over the years I have asked the old timers who were in their upper years ,the same questions you are asking now.Having found you ,I am encouraged that there are so many young people and middle agers too , that are up to their eyeballs in this hobby.I wish more would be more agerssive in building, rather than buying their rifles. I say this because in my day there were very few parts available for sale. You either figured out how to make things or knew someone that would hands on help you. Roy ( PA) Keeler was one of my mentors, and I wrote letters to many more asking for direction. So keep up the good work, educate the youngsters and keep your powder dry. Bob Holton
