I've hunted with muzzleloaders before. All my uncles HAD to have in the 1970's after "Jeremiah Johnson" came out... I've restored a couple family heirloom rimfires and built a couple modern "Military Style" weapons. Then I realized I don't have a "Smoke Pole". So instead of heading to Wally World for a plastic encased "kit", I jumped in and ordered from Sitting Fox, a 62 cal smoothbore Jaeger flintlock kit. It'll be here Tuesday and the fun begins! Only question I got at the moment is where do you guys get your roundballs from? Might have to take another plunge and get a melter and molds!
