Hello all. I'm a newbie to US black powder culture but am a veteran with regard to muzzle loading arms. I have lots of questions and am not sure where to start with US black powder customs.
As a kid, I learned about muzzle loading from my grandfather (modern bolt style muzzle loaders). I used to collect catalogs from an old retail chain long gone, the Akron. The Akron carried different types of replica 19th century muzzle loaders with wood stocks and cheap. As a youth I would think to myself when I get older I'm going to buy one of those muzzle loaders for my grandfather. My grandfather passed away before I could give him one as a gift. The Akron is now long gone.
Where can I go to buy a percussion cap, muzzle loader with the hammer and full length stock? I hope to find them soon before they, too, disappear if they have not already disappeared.
