Hello from NC

Just checking in as I am a newbie to black powder, have a 1858 Pietta Remington and a 1851 Navy in 36 cal. Have not even shot the Navy yet. Built a flintlock kit Kentucky Long Rifle from Traditions and their Kentucky percussion 50 cal pistol kit. Got a lot of questions for the group. Great forum btw.

Welcome oldman, if you have fired flintlocks you'll find percussion revolvers a breeze, Remington's are a bit easier to load, shoot, and clean than Colt's but they are all fun.

Welcome oldman. Seems you've got quite a set of BP contraptions for starters. We're looking forward to get your pictures and range reports.

Welcome from Mississippi. Ask away. We love to answer questions but you may get a dozen different answers. That doesn't mean they're wrong either.
