My interest in history started as a young boy finding indian relics on my family farm and watching all the usual westerns. In the early 70’s, I purchased my first black powder gun – a Civil War musket. After being hooked on muzzleloaders, the need to upgrade was always in my mind. But not having much cash in my wallet, I decided to build one myself. With that I started my journey of building guns. It’s been 36 years of studying and learning. I enjoy it now as much as when I started. As the years roll on, I look forward to many more new projects.
