No Horse Hair, SASS #77464

My son just got back from same lately. Didn't get much antelope action, but they did have to repel a herd of 200 prairie dogs!

I'm not really interested in any more cap guns, but I'll give you a bump and tell ya' that I've got a 3rd model Dragoon and a Walker, both used, that I'll sell. No Horse Hair

We have a Black M2 Benelli, it's had about 4 boxes of dove loads thru it, in the box. $1100.00. I'm in Southern Illinois, No Horse Hair

"I'll take the cylinder". Send details- NO HORSE HAIR

I would have like to do some gun trading with tha Dawg before the anathesia wore off!! Hang in there Dawg, I've had both knees done( partials) and I'm still clumsy and can't dance, but I can shoot just as slow and miss just as many.....

Thanks for the replies, now I can study up some. Those DS rifles look like the ultimate of the type. I actually owned an FN/FAL for a brief while, but only shot it a little. Also had some HK 91's- sold the last one like new in the box for $800.00. Been awhile back....

I've got a little bug started about these rifles. I knew years ago which was most desirable inch or metric, but have forgotten. Can anybody "edjicate" me? And anybody have one to sell or trade off?

Somebody needs this pistola!!!!!!

OH!.....nevermind....

I was just sitting here imagining the anguish Prairie Dawg must go thru when he is deciding which cap guns to pass on to new owners.......and then I saw that he is also selling off his skirts and blouses! I can't really describe my emotions at this time.....back to top!!

Thanks for all the info....I'll be more comfortable first time out now that I have some guide lines....I didn't realize it would use so much powder! Now if I can find my ol' coonskin hat......

I wuz minding my own business, I wuz even working on the clock in my own shop, when it barged into my life......It's a TRADITION WHITETAIL HAWKEN STYLE front loader, 50 cal 1in 48 twist. I've never owned a muzzle loader, but I do know a little about black powder. I load 44-40 black and compete with cap guns occasionally. But, how do I feed this thing? It came with some .490 Hornady lead balls and some old dried round patches. I'm assuming I can lube the patches w/bore butter? Or should a dry patch go on top of powder? My #10 caps seem to fit the nipple ok. Big question is , how much powder? I know there's a wealth of wisdom around this fire, so throw some at me!
