GOB,

Many years ago, circa 1980, I bought my first used muzzleloader for $155.00 at a small NH gun shop. The Flintlock T/C Hawken came with a .45 caliber rifled barrel and a .50 smoothbore barrel BECAUSE the former owner lived in the Peoples" Republik of Massachusetts where ONLY smoothbore muskets were legal for deer.

I have found a .50 smoothbore is a fine shotgun in its own right, as well as a fine patched ball gun. I offer this as advice that a .50 smoothbore on the used ML rack is really an ok gun.

If I still lived in Beaumont, I would drive over and give you a brick of .22s. Be well.

Adam

I am keeping my eyes and ears open for anything in a flinter at this point. As was said I can swap out the barrel to a 36 later on down the line. East Texas is just about devoid of muzzleloaders, but we will see.

Thanks soooo much guys I appreciate it! I really do!
