You know I agree. I am only interested in the traditional style muzzleloaders, real black powder, and traditional projectiles (round ball and shot) I don't care what anyone else uses. But I blame special "muzzleloader seasons" for all the modern, scope sighted, shotgun primer, in-line, stainless and plastic junk some people consider muzzleloaders. That defeats all the reasons I want to use a muzzleloader.

this is my just finished Tennessee mountain classic. took me a month to build. 8-10 hours a day! .45 and it shoots like a dream. Ashmore Warrented lock and Davis triggers. Green Mountain barrel. Iron furniture.

well deerstalker the 16 bore is a rifle, so if you hit the turkeys in the head you'll be OK, but if you body shoot them you'd better not like turkey meat much, because you won't be left with much. Now if you want to kill deer, elk, moose, bear, and buffalo, this is the perfect gun. Comes with a ball mold and is Forsyth rifled 1 in 104 inches.,

I will have an English style half-stock flint sporting rifle for sale soon. It's a 45 cal bullet rifle. Rifling was for using bullets not balls.
I'll post pics soon. I made it for the same man that owns the 16 bore above. It was broken at the wrist and I repaired it good as new, but you can still see the crack in one place despite the fact it's as strong or stronger then it was before the damage. Because of that repair the price will be substantially lower then the same gun would be new. I have not got a firm price from him yet to ask, but it's likely to be in the $1400 range. No mold with this one, but they are easy to get.

Someday I’d like another Jäger. Something plain like the Pistor Hessian rifle. Around 24 to the pound.
