Hello. I thought I would join my first BP forum. I;ve been casually shooting for a couple of years. I own an 1858 New Army Remington and an 1860 Army Colt. Both are in 44 caliber. I make my own round balls with a Lee mold and plumbers lead. I had an 1849 Colt Pocket but traded it. Also, I'm from North Carolina. Considering getting a 45-70 but they are kinda expensive.

Thanks for the welcome. Can someone tell me why the word 32 Cal. is under my display name? I didn't put it there.

Thanks

The "32 cal." represents the number of post you have made (or any member has made) for this forum...

The caliber ranks are set automatically by the forum, once you reach a preset number, your status will change by itself...

Welcome. I spent a year in the big town of Dudly back in the early 70's. (Never could see a reason to go back.) :: Now we have to get you fixed up with a .54cal caplock to go with your revolvers. I would say a .54cal Sharps but that don't load from the front. What the hey, are you game for a flinchlock? Anyway, welcome to the best forum on the www. :hatsoff:

Merdean:

I was raised in a little town about 15 miles from Dudley called Princeton. It's between Smithfield and Goldsboro on HWY 70.

Were you in the AirForce at Seymour Johnson?

I have a friend who makes flintlocks but I haven't gotten into them yet.

Welcome Tarheel. If you've got any good stories of Tarheel Corn-feds, please share them with us at the Civil War Section. Tell us what your Great-Great-Great Grandpappy did during the Late Great Unpleasantness Between States (or the Mother of American Family Feuds). :thanks:

You mean the War of Nothern Aggession. From one who doesn't think Lincoln was our greatest president or that Sherman was a hero.

Take care.
