Hope to build a traditions soon.

Trying to find a civil war history ping list do you know who might have one?

It is a blast (pun intended) to shoot black powder arms. I've had 'em, all single shot flintlocks, percussion riles, pistols and revolvers. Build it and have a blast. If you need helpful hints about their firing and care, send me a FreepMail. Although I had three great-grandfathers in the conflict, I don't know of a Civil War ping list. Does anyone else?

Thanks. I will.

Did you do the match lock at all? A guy posted a deer kill on youtube with one, gun looked 5 feet long.

Have you tried a muzzle loading shotgun? I have one and it is a hoot have took some rabbits and a wild turkey with it.

Pull the trigger and Wait for the smoke to clear to see if you got it.
