I've seen a couple of posts lately where guys are looking for a gun to buy and use for a lifetime. Seems to me the merchandising of America will almost certainly convince you that you must have the latest and greatest muzzleloader long before you run out of life. Probably in just a few years. My question is: how long have you owned a muzzleloader and how many do you own?

I only own one; the same one I've had for 30 years and quite possibly the only one I'll ever own, although the manufacturers may do their best to see that I can't get parts or supplies and drive me to a new one. How about you?
