Hi All!
Few words of introduction: The name is Matt. I live close to Munich, Bavaria (Germany) and yes, only a few weeks till Oktoberfest.
New to this forum and to muzzle loading as well. It is all a bit different/difficult here in Germany. You can buy a muzzle loading firearm but not black powder. For that you need a mandatory safety course (probably not a bad idea) and a state license (I'm working on that).
I own only one gun so far, a Pedersoli An XIII pistol [1] as I am very interested in history, esp. the Napoleonic Wars.
Another big interest of mine is classic cars and I like to get my fingers dirty working on them. I own a 1979 Land Rover 109 Series III.
What else? I spend twenty years in the German armed forces (Luftwaffe) and a glorious year in San Antonio (Remember the Alamo!) with USAF in the early nineties.
Hope to learn a lot here.
Matt
