Hey INGO,
I've been looking at muzzleloaders lately and they look interesting. Last time I was at Wilbur Wright there was a guy that had traditional style rifles, some flintlocks and cap locks and watching him shoot peeked my interest in this type of firearm. So if someone who owns one of these rifles can arrange a time to meet me at WW sometime I'll pay for a lesson in how they work and the ins and outs of em (plus letting me shoot them of course). But if not, then answering some of these noobish questions would be appreciated, cause I don't know hardly jack about this topic.

- Where do you get blackpowder? I've been told only at gun shows but is this true?
- I know you don't need to register a muzzleloader, but if I was to order one online would it need to be shipped to an FFL?
- What book on black powder rifles and pistols would you recommend to a beginner?
- What black powder rifle would you recommend to a newbie? I'd like a cap lock if possible....
- What are some of the basic supplies needed for keeping and maintain one of these firearms?
- Where do you buy the ammunition?
