Thanks everyone for your kind words and warm welcome. If it is permitted, I will expand a bit on my introduction. I am a gun collector, reloader, hunter, target shooter, hobby gunsmith and Life Member in the NRA. I run high power rifle matches at the largest gun club in Pennsylvania (over 4,000 members). I am a moderator on another board dealing with surplus military arms. Muzzleloaders are my passion along with reading and enjoying the study of history. I have visited a number of historical sites and want to re-enact the F&I period, Revolutionary War era and as a Mountain Man. Hope that helps. I think this is a swell site an am glad to be here. All the best...
