    Some people might be interested in provenance (SP?). Besides, he was a very conservative Republican.[:D] I see you are the high bidder. Could it be that you don't you want me to add anything that might drive the price up?[:D][:D][;)]

    I've never owned a muzzle loader. I thought that starting with one over 150 years old might be interesting.

    Have you ever fired it?

    Henry, black powder shooing is a LOT of fun. You'd enjoy it. I hope you get it.

    What is the name of it Jake? Here's mine....

    It tosses 300 gr Hornady SST's into a 2" group at 100yds with a junk scope. The new scope(the one in the picture) is a Nikon ProStaff, the nicest scope I've had. I should be able to get MOA(1") accuracy with the new scope and rest that you see.

    Think of it as kind of like reloading your own ammo. Different amount of powder do different things, all kinds of different bullets. It's alot of fun.

    Here are the SST's.

    12 gauge smooth bore.

    Here's a stupid question - is it legal to load such a muzzle loader with shot?

    Yes, it is. There are still plenty of muzzle loading shotguns out there, and it was common to load military muskets with "buck and ball" loads.

    Even loading cannon with shot is legal and common.

    Let me ask that question again. Is it legal to load a smooth bore, muzzle loading handgun with shot?

    I have looked over the FTAs website and still can't find anything on that subject.
