Thanks
Thanks for all the info! I feel alot better about this gun, and alot more informed, but of course I'll still have a gunsmith look it over. Fortuneatly I'm heading home for the first time in a couple years, and there's a BP speacialty shop there with a smith that will look it over and help me get any replacement part(s) I cant make myself. So, I have one more question, then. I'm new to black powder, and don't have a mentor, so I'm basicaly on my own. Is there a good book that anyone would recomend that would help me learn the basics (equipment, terminology, how to load/measure a charge, round selection, etc.)? I'm headed home next week and I'm getting a kit from the shop there, and I want to be armed with as much knowledge as possible when I pick out my rifle.
