Damn nice horn! And priced right. Won’t last long. For sure. I would have expected it to be priced higher. Won't last long. DF

P!ease I beg someone,anyone save me from myself. Buy that rifle. I can see me hunting elk behind the house with it.

domit, I always use one of these for horn fill. But mine has a .223 case on top. And I have many old school GOEX powder Cans. https://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/89/1/POWDER-CAP-B

Not much action on the 2 guns, even after they are "broken up" as a set. Oh well, may not be the right time of year to sell.
We'll just have to wait and see.

Beautiful guns!
It takes a while to find the right home for something like these. Fewer folks going into the traditional shooting sport and fewer still who are serious enough to own higher grade guns such as these.
I have a high grade Lancaster flintlock,a very nice custom Hawken, and a Chief's grade trade gun. The value of any one of them is more than any two of my modern guns combined. I get more enjoyment and pleasure from the muzzleloaders by far.
Hopefully, it won't take too long for the right person to see these, they deserve to be used and appreciated.

silly question but can brass be powder coated or aged to make it darker?
