Sabotloader,.... I have to "grudgingly"... ('cause I don't want to lose my REPUTATION as a "crusty ol' reprobate")... "agree",... thet yore post was indeed,.... "EXCELLENT"!!
Nowadays, I have to constantly remind myself (especialy on these chat-forums) thet all tho fellas like me'n Joe,... have been shoot'n, and hunt'n with "period correct" traditional muzzleloaders since back in the early 70's,.... thet new'er/younger fellas are gonna try some modern "things" in ther (newly aquired) traditional-style rifleguns.
...... and ther "reason" for do'n so,.... "AIN'T to deliberately piss us off",... but,... probly more likely because of all the "hype" be'n put out by the various manufactures today (in ther "mad dash" for "our" money)!!
I'm sure the other "hard-core" traditionalists on this forum, will agree with me on this!!
Take care,... and don't stray (too far) from the "traditional path" in this fun-filled and innerest'n "pursuit"!!!!
