I'll be spending 99% of my time here in the BP section, looking forward to the information and conversation all. To contribute to the forum, here's my stable in order of acquisition:
1. Traditions Kentucky rifle .50.
My first muzzleloader that I put together from a kit. I've removed quite a bit of wood. Mostly around the lock mortise, belly, and a long the sides of the forend.
2. Kibler Colonial .54
Got lucky and purchased this kit secondhand from a gentleman on Muzzleloadingforum for a deal. It's Jim's extra fancy maple, and is just so sweet I love it. Probably 50-60 hours in this one, took my time because it was a significant investment for me.
I left it in the white for a while.
Recently decided to brown the steel for hunting season, I will probably strip the lock and do a French gray finish. The brown lock kind of feels like neglect for some reason.
3. Pedersoli Kentucky Pistol .45.
Another one purchased through muzzleloadingforum.
Stripped the cerakote brown and original wood finish off to match my then in the white Colonial, and refinished the wood the same way I did the Kibler. I like the bright steel on the pistol.
4. CVA "Hawken" .54
Got this guy the other day for $100 on Armslist, couldn't say no.
That's all for now! Be happy to answer any questions, read any comments, or discuss any of them.
