Hello to All!
I'm Darrell (aka piperdoc) and I have owned and shot numerous BP firearms, all percussion, over the years.
The group got my attention when I was searching for information about my Armsport 50 cal Hawken that I put together from a kit in 1980 - 81.
I'm looking to dust it off and get it shooting again.
I ran an endoscope down the barrel and did not see any rust or pitting in the barrel.
The breech plug has a bit of discoloration which I will assess after giving the barrel a good cleaning.
I am also looking at a new in-line muzzleloader with 209 ignition system ... well ... just because I can and I think it would be fun.
Thanks for the site and I'm looking forward to learning and contributing where I can.
Slàinte.
Darrell
