Default The Drug called "M"

This may will mark only two years since I've gotten into "M"uzzleloading. And everyone was right, this is a drug. A drug that cannot be beat. I also laughed when people said that I would be selling centerfire/rimfire rifles to support this nasty habit. Well it finally came true. Ended up selling a 9mm carbine for a .54 flintlock. So I stand here today as an addict seeking no help to cure this "M" drug. Two years later and now I have 4 muzzleloaders. Hopefully to have a fifth one soon. Here are some pics of my Muzzleloader family. From top to bottom. TC Bone Collector .50 cal inline 1:24, Lyman Deerstalker .54 flintlock 1:48 twist, TC Renegade .50 cal 1:48 twist percu, TC Renegade .54 GM barrel 1:60 twist percu.

With apologies to Peggy Lee.

Never knew how much I'd love it
Never knew the fun I'd have
When I put it to my shoulder
It gives me fever that's hard to bare

It gives me fever!
Fever when I shoot it
Fever when it groups real tight

Fever!

Fever in the morning
Fever all through the night

That's a first class collection 50calty. Ya` done good. A full blown first class infection too. Not likely to be fatal though.

Thats funny, but how can it be Anonymous? We all know each other and anyone online can find us and talk to us. Yeah I can't wait to shoot the new flintlock. This was actually the first flintlock that I got to handle and see up close. I just knew that I wanted one. My powder is suppose to show up tomorrow. But Bear Season starts in less then 30 days so I'm trying to get my .54 Renegade sighted in and double checking my TC BC. So it may be two months before I get to shoot it.
