Hi All,
This is my first post on what I've seen so far is a great forum. I live in Centennial, Colorado and am practically a native having move here in '79. I'm married with two grown kids. Am the product of a military family and served myself in the US Army Security Agency from '70-'73. I've been a licensed C&R collector for going on 25 years, but have not thought much about muzzle loaders until just recently. I picked up what I believe to be an early muzzle loading, percussion, 2x2, 12 gauge, Belgian shotgun from a local shop. Initially purchased as a project gun, once cleaned up this gun is an attractive example of something I know very little about. I'm hoping that you all might be able to send me to some sites through which I can learn more about these, as well as let me know a bit more about what I have. On another thread, I've attached some pics for you to look over.
See you around, glad to be here!
Greg
