New to muzzleloaders

[dwolfva]

I'm a newbie in Northwest Ohio. I have my great grandfather's gun. Appears to be a Pennsylvania percussion with initials A. S.

As a child, I admired the gun.

My dad gave it to me 20yrs ago. My brother was a gun buff and I sent pictures because he wanted to duplicate. When we were next together, I gave him the gun because it was right. He had disassembled with intent to duplicate. Then, died of sudden heart attack. It is in pieces but I have intact photos. Damaged by step-sister throwing down stairs yrs ago as kid. Broken stock. Knocked off one rod guide. One metal internal piece broken. Looking for guidance. No rush.

Thanks.

Welcome to the Forum from Missouri.

Sorry to hear about the damage to your great grandfather's gun. There are gunsmithing wood workers out here that if you have all the pieces, that rifle could be reassembled, and you would be hard pressed to see where the stock was broken. @dwolfva, post the pictures you have of the intact gun and pictures of the broken pieces in our Forum, The Gun Builder's Bench and stand by for some help. Just follow the instructions you get when you tap the Attach Files button to post the pictures.
