Hello everybody! Wishing you all well.

I am a veteran of the Marine Corps (51 years ago). Also, I am interested in learning about the muzzleloading world.

I am about to purchase my first muzzleloader, so I will probably ask a lot of questions, be patient, please.

I am sure that I will enjoy talking with You,

Jarhead

Welcome from Idaho. USMC 1st Bn. 11th Marines Viet Nam Nov 67 - Nov 68
You have struck the treasure trove of the muzzle loader world. These shooters have done it and if they haven't, it can't be done. I would think the most important part of learning this sport is reading. There is so much information in these posts. You will find numerous ways to find the right rifle, to load and shoot a rifle, and to give the correct excuse if you miss your target. You just have to find the one that fits you. And that is where reading comes in. There is no stupid question, but there can be mistakes if you don't bother to ask. I warn you though, once you get into muzzle stuffin, you will be hooked and will not want for any other type of rifle

Daleallen,

I'd like to see photos of your Manton shotgun. I have had mine since 1990. The only regret is someone in refinishing the stock, sanded off the checkering.

I have purchased the Manton, and am currently awaiting delivery. Who knows how long that will take. Very excited.

i wonder if you shoot your shotgun? If so can we converse? I am new to muzzleloading, so I have lots of questions.
