Glad you came aboard, but heed my warning....Run, young man, run. Flee from this nasty habit. Blackpowder is more addictive to some of us than the most evil of narcotics. First, you'll buy a factory weapon. Then you'll start wanting to build a kit. Then you'll start thinking about buying components and building a custom. And when you start making your own components, you'll know that you've hit rock bottom. And if that's not bad enough, you'll probably want to start going to rendezvous.

A bp junkie is a lonely sort in most places. They look at you funny at the public range. You'll have to seek out the places where the other bp junkies hang out. You'll frequently smell like burnt sulpher.

I LOVE IT !!!!!

Again, welcome aboard.

Hello and welcome, fish:

I've been up in your neck of the woods a few times and from what I've seen they probably DO look at you a little funny listening to that soundtrack. I bet they want to share that jug o' XXX though!

Also welcome to the world of front loading firearms. If you gotta have an addiction (or is it affliction?) this is the one to have.

You don't know your ear from your elbow. Well, sit down by the fire and we'll teach you. Depending on receptive you are to learning from old farts (or how naive you are), you can learn enough here to become the Master of the Universe. :crackup: More seriously, welcome to the forum and enjoy yourself here. We certainly do.

 

[Maynerd62411]

We welcome everyone, even those from that foreign country of Chicago. :crackup:
There's a great bunch here. Enjoy and join in.
