Stan:
Never owned a muzzle loader, but as I get older I find that I'm attracted to the idea. So I look at them a fair bit, but have hesitated so far to buy one. I'm down to just a couple of guns on my "I really want to own one of these" list and a good quality flintlock rifle and a muzzle loading shotgun are two of those items. Yours is simply outstanding.
