Newbie From Houston

[SixGun]

Howdy from a new member in Houston, TX. I have started to find an interest in American muzzleloaders recently. I have a very modest collection of "modern" firearms with stuff ranging from before the first world war to current day. My collection just doesn't feel complete now without an important part of American history; a flintlock rifle.

Being as close to urban Houston as I am, it is hard to find brick and mortar sources for my new found muzzle loading passion. I've been perusing this forum for some time with questions that I've had. There are so many knowledgeable folks in here and I hope I can be of some help to others here as well. Thank yall for having me.

Welcome from Upstate New York's Central-Leatherstocking Region.

My first go-to for muzzleloading has been Track of the Wolf for some time. Percussion primers (I stilll pop a few) and powder are either Graf's & Sons or Powder Inc. Good luck!

Welcome from Georgia.
You said it, I've got scary black rifles, wheel guns, lever guns, Russian guns, souped up semiauto handguns, but man, I missed shooting black powder. Makes you slow down and forget the world for a while.

10-Ring on Jones Road has what you need plus unmentionables stuff. Great place.

Howdy, and Welcom from Fort Bend!

There will be a public doin's (Texas Association of Buckskinners) at the Presideo La Bahia in Goliad December 6-8. Goliad will be period for participants but open to the public. Bought a rifle from a trader there once. PM your email if interested and I will send you the flyer. Links at end.

Christmas at the Fort (Old Fort Parker) in Groesbeck is a "trade" show. December 12-14th. No additional info on their website. Last OFP I was at was a poodle show of eras and much farby stuff, and I quit making the 9 hour round trip years ago. The 18th Century Society of Texas holds a couple excellent events at OFP each year well worth attending as public or participant.

I order Goex from Coonies a case at a time delivered to my front door. Just bought 1000 caps from Natchez during sale with free hazmat. Only paid twice what they are worth.

Sure do miss going to Rebel Arms at Genoa-Red Bluff for all supplies and a Saturday of shooting. It is a freeway now.
