You can buy a brand new inline muzzle loader for under $150 so I don't really see the point of messing with that sort of conversion. Unless you are just the kind of guy who, like me, likes to tinker and wants to see what they can accomplish. If that is your point, go for it.What is everyones thoughts on using a single barrel 12ga as a muzzel loader versus just buying a designated muzzel loader? versatility vs. coast effectiveness
I too think a single shot could be a blast to mess with, but as far as price on new stuff, you don't get a lot better than the specials that Cabla's runs, with regularity, on Pietta percussion revolvers.If you're just starting out, a single shot pistol is a lot less initial investment and can still be a ton of fun.
Sooo.... I've never owned a BP firearm before, but i figured i might as well dive in head first.
I got these:
Left to Right:
.31 5 shot cva
.44 colt cva
.45 derringer cva
.45 cal Jukar
.50 cal traditions
I can't wait to get started with these!
I'm thinking one or two of the single shots will become projects. Maybe make a new stock or two, try to make the tiggers suck less, or just polish them up a little.
Any and all advice on getting started in all theings BP is much appreciated!
Thanks!Very Nice!
A lost cause because you can't get parts or because the frame is damaged?The .31 is a lost cause.

I've not been to one of these, but from the flyer available on their web site and their add in Muzzle Blasts, it should be much like most gun shows but limited to muzzle loading era firearms and related items.What could an attendee expect to see at this event? Lots of for-sale tables? How many people? Proceeds go to anyone(the Longrifles, for exampe.
Does pre 1840 mean no percussion, or just no brass casings?
I used to get mine at Lundco. As far as I can determine, there are no other options near MuncieWhere do you get 3F and 4F GOEX close to Muncie?
For the money a CVA Wolf starter kit is hard to beat. Got one in my safe now that is a good shooter and dropped several dear with it. You should be able to find em on clearance online now or real soon, as seasons are ending. Best part there is, you can buy muzzle loaders online since no background check is needed.
Let us know what ya get, when you make the jump!
