Love the smokey goodness!
Hate cleaning my Uberti 1847 Walker Colt afterwards. It’s practically a complete rebuild.
I haven’t shot muzzle loading revolvers for forty years! Same reason. I do shoot muzzle loading and cartridge rifles with black powder. Much easier to clean.
I still have a Thompson Center flintlock rifle I bought in 1973. Never fired it as a flintlock is a booger to clean.
On the other hand, my Lyman Great Plains rifle gets shot ever so often. I rigged up a simple holder to both shoot and clean it quickly.
Yea but you get to reply to “what are you doing later” with “going home to clean my nipples”...
