You KNOW You're A Traditional Muzzleloader...

[Alden]

...when you use your percolator to boil more water to clean guns than to make coffee!

:haha:

Keep it going.

 

[jamesthomas]

When even though your current patch lube, patch size, and powder charge gives you + or - 2 inch groups at 50yards your always thinking about or trying different combo's.

 

[galamb]

You pause the DVD playing "the Patriot" to see if you can identify the patch box on the Hollywood prop rifle..

 

[necchi]

You pause the DVD playing "the Patriot" to see if you can identify the patch box on the Hollywood prop rifle..

:rotf:
Or,
You pause the DVD, and explain to everyone else watching that this is indeed not the correct rifle for the period.

 

[TennesseeJed]

Or that you know that lead doesn't melt that fast when casting balls over a campfire like it did in the Patriot...

 

[jethro224]

...when there is NOTHING you can use in the sporting goods section.

 

[AZbpBurner]

When your elbows get dry and rough and you reach for the tallow + beeswax patch lube for use as a skin moisturizer.

 

[russecv58]

when you're leaving the "gun store" empty handed, because the traditional ML's hanging on the walls are only there for "decoration" and not for sale. :shake:

 

[wattlebuster]

At least your sporting goods store has some for decoration. Ours dont even know what one is :idunno:

 

[Kylongrifle]

I have a tv/dvd player in my clean shop..When I cast balls/bullets either Last of the Mohicans or The Patriot is playing.. :grin:

 

[Renegade Dan]

When the people I'm hunting with, point at my flintlock rifle and say, what are ya going to do with that? :youcrazy:

 

[TLanoy]

When you can almost quote the entire dialogue of Jeremiah Johnson, and your wife asks, why you can't remember to pick up something from the store like she wanted you too!

 

[nchawkeye]

You pause the DVD playing "the Patriot" to see if you can identify the patch box on the Hollywood prop rifle..

I actually told the wife in the movie theater that the rifle he was carrying looked like a Herschel House rifle, then saw in the credits that his brother made it...

 

[Loyalist Dave]

When you're not nearly as upset about the rising price of gas as the rising price of knapped flints...

[bpd303]

When you are out driving and spot a deer then immediately start calculating Kentucky windage & ball drop.

 

[Sean Gadhar]

When your kid & his friends call to see if they can come over & throw hawks.

Gotta go there here :wink:

 

[wvbuckbuster]

When you talk your nephew into dropping $1200.00 for a flintlock in the white at Dixon's Fair. Dan.

 

[ohio ramrod]

Yep I use far more of my beeswax /lard patch lube on the hands and elbows than on the rifles. :idunno:

 

[Wes/Tex]

When you love the fact you can say "nipple wrench" and "wrinkly balls" in public without fear of a slap! :wink: :rotf:

 

[Rusty_Nail]

When you carry a micrometer into JoAnn's!
