Tingle (Shelbyville) Rifles

[JRHawkins1118]

I have absolutely no experience with black powder at all.

My father-in-law just gave me a a Tingle muzzle loader. Made in Shelbyville. Has two barrels.

He would like for me to give it to my son. But I have no idea how to use or care for this type of gun.

Any resources I may want to look up to help on this?

You could check the NMLRA website for Black Powder clubs in your area to help you.

I had a Tingle pistol for a few years, it was a very modern looking gun, for it's time, was very accurate, but really heavy, mine .45
