New guy from Up North (Quebec)

[Billy Boy]

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).

Welcome from the swamp

Good news, these last days we had a few showers which helped mainly the Eastern part of the country. North-East of Ontario still struggles but I think they too expect rain most of this week. Shouldn't hurt!

Eventhough it is not our fault, nature being what it is, I wish to say to our Southern friends caught with allergies and "our" smoke that we canadians are sorry for the inconvenience.

Welcome. Hopefully, you can get some of your freedoms back once your dictator is no longer around.

A little behind with this...nedd to check in more often. Welcome , blackpowder and 12-2 , the truly Canadian combo.

Thank you buddy! One of these daays, my wife and I wish to finally visit the Maritimes. We've heard so many good things about the people, the history and the sight. My ancestor came from France to Port Royal and I imagine some of his descendants spread all around so that's another incentive to visit the East side of Canada.
