What a Great collection of photos! I'm going to obtain a flintlock next, a pure tool to shoot deer with reliably, and without the need of a primer. I've learned from Prairie Dog Shooter, some important details on what characteristics to require of my flintlock for it to be reliable and durable, and that sort of coaching is beyond valuable!

Steve, I would like to come by and look at that if you are going to be home one day this week. I assume you still live in the same place ?

my latest muzzleloader. just finished it. Quite a piece, deerstalker!!! thanks Kaywoodie! that thing is a .50 with a Haddaway lock, 11.5 inch barrel. shoots 2 inches at 25 yards! i milled the tree that stock came out of in Salem Ore. in 1978. hauled some of the blanks around every since. figured I'd better use them before i die. building a .45 with a siler lock and green mountain barrel now. wife is wondering what i am going to do with them. told he that's her problem!

What a great collection of traditional muzzleloaders, TRUE muzzleloaders. I currently have a 1980's vintage T/C Renegade .50 that i shoot with a tang peep sight and fiber optic front sight. I know they're not traditional sights, but the Renegade isn't really a traditional muzzleloader. My other 2 rifles are a custom made Vincent style Ohio 1/2 stock percussion rifle with a 40" Green Mountain round ball barrel and a TVM Late Lancaster .54 flintlock. Plastic stocked, bolt action or break action rifles with scopes should be hunted with during the regular firearms hunting season, not during special muzzleloader seasons.

Speaking of real muzzleloaders; This is an original S. Hawken rifle I was allowed to load and shoot recently at the Hawken Classic in Missouri. It is a .50 caliber, with a fairly heavy barrel. Owned by the Hawken Shop. It was a real thrill to get to shoot it.
