Wow Zonie!

Those muzzleloader's are absolutely beautiful!

Never have I seen so many beautiful muzzleloader's in one place!

Sorta reminds me of the Hawken collection that the Buffalo Bill Historical Center has on display in Cody Wyoming.

Your collection is beyond belief!

Respectfully, Cowboy :hatsoff:

Yes. That's the Bastard Gun I made from the shortened barrel.

I thank all of you for the nice comments you made about the guns I've built.

As for the Bastard gun, as some may know, I left the barrel in the white.
I haven't shot it much but for the record, after 14 years of hanging on my wall, the barrel has maintained its "bare steel" look with no rust forming on it.

I do live in a dry area of the Country and the barrel is protected with a light coating of Birchwood Casey Barricade.

Thought you might be interested.

Someday I may sell them, but not right now.

After I saw this picture, I had to go lie down for a little while.

Ahhhhh!!! That picture felt so good on my old eyes. I haven't seen anything that pretty since I first met my wife to be. :hatsoff:
