Here's a couple pictures I had on my phone. First one is the living room - second one is the Dining room.
The wife was a history major - so I can get away with it.

While I like my centerfires and rimfires I have a special place in my heart for blackpowder firearms. I started with a Pietta 1860 Army than a CVA Hawkens then I got a Lyman Deerstalker for my son and his fellow boyscouts. Later I got a kit Hawken pistol to work on my gun bilding skills. Today the firearm I always wanted came in. A 1858 Remington carbine from Uberti. Gonna take em all out this weekend and celebrate Memorial Day.

My recently acquired family of Muzzle loaders. All of them are Thompson Centers.
Various lengths and barrels. Most are Renegades. 
The long boys... 
I havent had a chance to shoot them but have a "clinic" scheduled with some BP experts middle of July, a couple buds and I are going to get 1 on 1 instructions and learn what to do and not to do, loading, cleaning, etc etc. Should be a blast. Ill try to get pics when I do. I know for a fact that short one with no scope has taken, Hogs, Doll Sheep (rams) and Deer. And there is a tag with the "recipe" for the load (90gr FFG, .015 patch, .50 ball, etc) |

Here are a couple photos of three of my flintlocks.
First is the Bess. 
Next is the .50 caliber American Longrifle. 
Last (but not least) is the .36 caliber American Longrifle. 
The two Longrifles have 44 inch swamped barrels. The .50 caliber is stocked in curly maple and the .36 is stocked in figured walnut. The Bess has a 46 inch barrel and is stocked in walnut. All three were built for me by Narragansett Armes when the were in the Stutz building in downtown Indy. Vernon |

Really a Virginia style rifle with too much Lancaster / Germanic influence. Last one is my current hunting rifle. Dickert / Albrecht / Haines influence Lancaster style gun. 54 Cal, 38" Haines profile Rice C weight, Chambers Golden Age Germanic lock, Chambers Haines brass hardware. My own patch box design. Piece of very hard and fairly plain sugar maple. Have 3 more in various stages on the bench right now. A Chambers NE Fowling Piece / Colonial Militia Musket, 2nd is a loose copy of a Wolfgang Haga / Early Reading rifle based upon RCA Vol I #21 and #22 and the 3rd is still a sawed out blank of nice cherry that will be a slim French style fowling piece / trade musket indicative of the early guns used in the upper Great Lakes in the early 18th Century.  |
