RE: New Pennsylvania BP
The longrifle Pennsylvania is one fine rifle -- that's a great price you paid too! I own the Shenandoah by Traditions. It's on my living room wall. To dress-up the wall a little more, go buy a nice powder horn -- then use a leather/cowhide lace to hang the powder horn from the trigger guard.... looks great... get compliments on the combo all the time.
Another note! Don't be taking that "pinned" stock off that rifle. The more you do -- the more accuracy drops-off. Use a hose over your nipple to water-flush your nipple area/drum. Let the hose run into a bucket or sink. I get my hose at an aquarium store for use with air pumps in the tank.
Also, grease the barrel/stock meets real good so no fouling seeps in & slowly rusts the undersides/unexposed areas of your barrel.
