I'm a little late with my introduction, grown very lazy in retirement. I started shooting BP in 1981, stayed active with it a few years, then only occasionally. Back then I bought a TC Renegade in .50 and a TC New Englander. Both of which I still have. Acquired a number of cap & ball revolvers over the years too. I returned to BP about 5 years ago when I purchased a Pedersoli Pennsylvania flint in .50 and have since built a Pedrersoli Kentucky flint pistol in .50 and I just finished an Investarms Gemmer Hawken flint kit in .50. I've been trying to educate myself on the history and identification of the late flintlock and early percussion guns. 1750-1830 is my favorite period. I really enjoy reading through the forum and have learned a lot from it. I plan one or two more builds as my retirement budget allows.

Welcome! What part of the Sportsman Paradise are you from?

 

[TDM]

Thank you! A little town on the north shore of Lake Pontchartrain, Abita Springs.

 

[Piquant]

Welcome neighbor, I'm south of the lake in St James Parish. And later today I will be sipping some Abita Amber beer.

 

[TDM]

You have excellent taste! All their beers are great, but the Amber really stands out. Cheers!
