    I've been toying for a while with getting into some old school black powder fun-ness. Looking to ideally trade, can purchase if the right deal presents itself. Ideally something that's in good functional condition and possibly that comes with at least a starter setup for shot/powder and so forth.

    Whatcha got?

    I'm interested to see what you find. I just picked up a replica Kentucky rifle for $200. From what I can tell, the only issue is it's missing the ramrod. Easy fix.

    You didn’t mention what caliber you’re looking for, I used to be big time in to black powder shooting and hunting. Still got several long guns and hand guns. Over the years I’ve killed white tails with 45, 50, 54 and 58 caliber round balls. Dumping powder down the muzzle and ramming a patched ball is a lot of fun.

    Thanks for all the emails and assistance. Made a deal yesterday to get a sweet muzzle loader to play with from a fantastic gentleman.
