No one has a replica blackpowder rifle to show? Where are those sleek Kentucky style rifles or stocky Hawkens. Hawken style fullstock that I've retired. Nothing wrong with it at all and could still take her out hunting with confidence. I scatch built this gun from parts way back in the middle 70s. The stock started out as plank of curly maple. About 90% of the build was with hand tools.  This old photo is me and the same rifle. I killed that buck on Thanksgiving Day in 1978. If I remember correctly, Tennessee didn't have a muzzle loading season in place then. Oh yes...that euro mount in the first pic is from the deer below.

Some of my blackpowder firearms...top is the .50 Lyman GPR...middle one is the .54 Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken and bottom is my little .40 flintlock longrifle. 
Nice collection you got there. Flintlocks have always been my favorite but have also been real partial to plains style rifles.

Hey Rob, good to see you here. I bought a flintlock Cabela's Hawken .54 from you a few months back.
*Wooden bows, Lever actions & Blackpowder. All a body needs!*
I'd replace wooden bows with match guns for turkey shoots and agree wholeheartedly with you.

You killed a deer at 326 yards with a muzzleloader?
