Hello Y'all!

I'm new to both muzzleloaders in general and to the forum as well. I’ve always wanted to build a muzzleloading flintlock firearm ever since I saw the gunsmith at Williamsburg, VA when I was 6 (I'm now 65 and retired). Having been born and raised in York, PA, I would love to build a York rifle, but for numerous reasons, I will instead opt for an American pistol, probably from a Cabin Creek Muzzloader "kit" - their shop is < 5 mi from where I grew up.

In any event, I recently purchased what appears to be a North African Jezail Camel Gun with a snaphaunce lock. Though it's currently pretty filthy, from what I can tell the lock appears to be complete minus two of the three screws that attach it to the stock. and I hope to recondition it to working order, if possible. I noticed a thread here titled "Anyone shooting N. African snaphaunces?", and expect to add to that discussion.

Hey Bob, I lived in Cedar Park many years ago but now I hale from New Braunfels. I'm a member of the White Smoke Brigade as well as the Texas Free Trappers. We have a monthly shooting match and hold a rendezvous twice a year so make the trip down here and make some smoke. There is a .50 muzzle loader that you can use if you don't have something to shoot for now.
