[QUOTE="criticalbass, post: 2292736, member: 711"] Here is a site you will find interesting: [url]http://www.therifleshoppe.com/[/url] This is located near Jones. I was almost tempted to buy their kit for a French Wall Gonne which was a sniper rifle used before and during the Revolutionary war. Washington had some at Valley Forge. I think a variety lasted up into the Civil War. Weighs in the high 30s as I recall, and has to rest on a wall or something similar. Darned thing is a $1000 or so kit, or they'll build you one for about $2600. Shoots an [I]8 ounce ball[/I], and can be accurate out to 600 yards. They sell other more usable kits, make replacement parts for really old guns, and the company is hard to find. Most all their business is mail order, but they will deal with locals if you can find them. Call first. It's around behind the house, but have faith. Big, not very well known operation run by a very knowledgable guy. Or you could just say phooey on tradition and build a smokeless muzzleloader, which is what I did. [/QUOTE]
