Hey everyone long time no post.....sorry.
I have been using black powder firearms since I was about 10 years old. I was fortunate enough to go to a boyscout summer camp called Camp Bomazeen in the Belgrade lakes region of Maine and it had a mountain man inspired theme called black powder week. Believe it or not that catapulted my interest in history and at around age 14 I became a French and Indian war (1754-1763) Reenactor. So I have owned and operated many many black powder firearms from the smallest derringer to a 12 pound field gun.
I am not totally sure what I have in my collection these days as it is several states away. But I do remember some...so here goes.
1-1851 .44 Army percussion revolver (brass frame)repro
1-1851 .36 Navy percussion Revolver (brass frame)repro
1-1862 .32 pocket model percussion revolver(brass frame) repro
1-single shot .40 caliber screw barrel pistol brass frame.
2-.69 caliber smooth bore flintlock pistols (made in India in the 70's ugly Repro's but they were fun when I was a kid.)
1-Thompson center Seneca .45 caliber percussion rifle
1-Thompson center Cherokee .32 caliber percussion rifle (with 2x scope)
1-Leman .54 caliber percussion
1-Enfield 1858 .69 caliber (14 gauge) smooth bore carbine (made in India repro) And was my favorite percussion gun the .32 Seneca is my second.
1-.66 caliber Flint lock smooth bore carbine "canoe gun" made by "Sweet
William" Bill Douglas.
1-.62 caliber Flint Lock "fowling piece" made by Jack Garner
1-.62 caliber Flint lock smooth bore Barnett "Trade gun" made by Larry Walton

1 .45-70 Remington Rolling block buffalo rifle by Pedersoli
1. 43 Egyptian Remington Rolling block #1 (original currently being restored to functioning condition by me)
That is a few I can remember off the top of my head. Anyway question about anything black powder let me know. Personally I prefer flint locks and I really like smooth bored but rifle are great too. I have owned several of each type.
