Whats your favorite muzzleloader you own?

[Terrier]

I like my Kibler .40 SMR the best. Shoots great.

 

[8Ball]

My .62 caliber/20 gauge fusil de chasse Tulle. Walnut stock, Chambers lock and Colerain barrel.

 

[Bucks Co]

No contest my 40cal Bedford built by Rudyard for me - even if he did put both our names on the barrel - Douglas Premium barrel/ L&R Percussion lock and a corker piece of Maple from Pecatonica. It's just lovely and shoots as good as it looks; mind you at my age now I shoot the same groups from the bench that I used to manage offhand!!

 

[wiscoaster]

Kibler SMR .45 cal.

 

[TonyC]

It’s a toss up between my Kibler SMR 40 cal and my 50 cal Woodsrunner! If I was forced to choose I would say that the SMR is the frontrunner right now but that may change!

Jeez, I like em all for a variety of reasons. I have an original 1863 Bridesberg barn find I returned to working order so that my be my favorite antique. I have both a Kentucky flinter rifle and pistol by Pedersoli, tons of fun to shoot and very dependable. And I also have an unmentionable that's really capable reaching out there and that's what I like about that one. I also have a 1847 Springfield converted to percussion in 78? cal. It's a relic but it's almost all there. It hangs on the wall in my office.

Rather fond of this Kuchenreuter target pistol, I am......

 

[Relic shooter]

Toss up ?

French .70 cal. rifled officers pistol or Danish .38 cal. target pistol.

 

[IronHand]

I have a number of different ML. Repro and custom. If I was told that I could only keep one it would be this one.

Iron mounted 62 cal trade gun by Jackie Brown. It may not be the best at any one thing but it does everything well. It's the last gun I would ever part with.

ANIX Gendemarie. Napoleon himself was lead designer. This shorter barrel model was for the police but his military officers often carried it instead of the regulation long barrel version. .60 caliber.

My favorite would be my Sharon trade rifle in 54 caliber. I love those Sharon rifles I have four of them.

 

[oreclan]

I got a navy arms 1803 Harpers Ferry Rifle at an estate sale a few months ago that is quickly becoming my favorite to shoot, not only that it is also very easy to clean! Would love to see some pictures/hear about what you guys have and enjoy shooting regularly.

My favorite is Andy Thomas 's #37, a Jim Kibler. 54 cal. Colonial rifle he assembled, carved, and finished with a curly maple stock.

I have a 20 gauge (.615) Yorktown Fowler, built from scratch, by Brad Emig. It is capable of doing anything

I need and more!

I have a custom built .50 cal with a Sharon Barrel. excellent barrels IMHO. It is the one at the top!

 

[Fitzhugh Williams]

My favorite is a Riffle Shoppe kit, their "Early French Officer's Fusil" modified and somewhat lengthened to accept a Long Hammock barrel.

 

[gunpa]

Just a plain Jane 54 cal New Englander. But we've got a lot of history together! Love that flat butt plate.

 

[Gordoncourtney]

I love to shoot this .36 rifle I built a couple of years ago. 10 shots at 50 yards in an early sight in.

I just don’t know as I cannot get a police permit being 81 But I do like my .36 double rifle , it’s like new 1885 .

 

[Gordoncourtney]

I just don’t know , I sat here thinking the .36 double . And thought that’s not right, bring a double rifle man, is it the 1853 Reiley .6 cape rifle ,

Then a percussion rebuild , bits of brass, and my restock on an 1885 pair of .5 Westly richards double rifle barrels , converted to percussion , I mean how can I pick the favourite out of 24 rifles when I love them all , as collectibles not shooters, bit sad really , such is life when police control our guns, in this green and pleasant lands ,

Today , most loved, is my deadly ionx bow, an unmentionable , like my 450-400 double for Africe , Ha ha love from uk

I like the set-up on your shooting bench. I’m particularly interested in the set of test tubes (?). Can you tell me where you got them??
Thanks.
