Well... not much to say about me. I'm 62, from the Southern area of Montréal, Québec. I'm into WWII SMGs collecting and with all the troubles in Canada concerning guns of all sorts, I'm glad I still have a weakness for BP guns. My first BP were a .50 cal mountain rifle and an italian Remington New Model Army with molds, flask, and of course a horn. Time passed, life changed and now I have an old original SxS 12 gauge cap'n'ball (belgian) an original Civil War Colt 1860 Army, flask, double cavity .44 Jonston & Dow bullet mold, some Pyrodex and barely enough #11 caps which are a little loose on the nipples. Last but not least (well, maybe least) a Pietta 1851 navy in brass frame .44 cal. Still have to buy a tap-o-cap and a 44 cal. paper cartridge former. Of course a repro Yankee belt and holster to go with the original Colt.

Too bad my 5 sons and only daughter don't share my love for guns nor for antique cars (my other passion).

Welcom from Wisconsin. I've been to St. Hubert many times. Gotta love real French bread, which you don't find in the U.S. (except maybe New Orleans). But my favorite Montreal experience was in Chinatown, where I had the best Chinese meal of my entire life, and I had no idea what I was eating, because the menus were only in Chinese.
 
Another Welcome from Texas!
Ask, if you have questions, and Share, if you have knowledge.
I learn something here almost every day, and love seeing photos from other folks.

I can be adopted!
I'm a bit older than you, but that's OK!
