People like this make the world a better place.
I had posted a while ago our need for a Left-hand percussion rifle in .50 caliber for the Boy Scout Muzzleloading program ("Mountain Man") that we run each summer at Camp Raven Knob in Surry County, NC. The kids learn the basics of gun safety, are instructed on how to load and shoot muzzleloading rifles and get to shoot, most for the first time. The program is getting more and more popular.
Well, I got an email from a member ("Ken") here that wanted to help. A short time later he notified me of one for sale right here in out ML Forum and offered to contribute half the price! It was the perfect gun for our needs- we got the lefty rifle we have been hoping for and it is on the way!
So, here is a big shout out to Ken and to all those among us who give of their time and resources to help others in making our world a little better

Not to hijack your post but I had another member here offer to show me how to disassemble my lock and even offered to ship me his vise. Instead I will drive to his place and get it done in person. Great group of guys on here.

I have an eagle scout here at work. I gave him al my scout stuff from the 60s.
He is 17 now and when he turns 18 he wants a civil war rifle, and he want to get into reenactment.
Home schooled, and doing well in college.
I guess they all are not worthless.

Great story Pathfinder! There are a few good people in the world and we find a pretty high percentage of them in our muzzle loading groups. There are a lot of good youngsters out there too and I hope they keep our sport alive after we've all "gone over the ridge".

Just keep them out of thosw public schools and they will be fine.
I have a granddaughter homeschooling three children and they are doing great.
Back in the early 70s we had a neigh that taught in public school school.
We thought it a bit strange at the time that she homeschooled her children. They are fine young men.

You are doing good work.

Personally not involved with the Scout’s Mountain Man (actually never heard of it before), but I am involved with Hunter Safety and Scout’s Rifle and Shotgun Merit Badge programs at a club I belong to.
