I am not new to guns, i recieved my first 4-10 when i turned 10, it belonged to my father and was given to him when he turned 9, i have shot it on many occations and have also gone hunting with it, I am in the military and am currently serving in Afghanistan.
this however is the first time i have thought about purchasing a muzzel loader, I was looking at getting a flintlock pistol and a black powder rifle. the pistol of course will be used for my personal enjoyment, since i am one who enjoys history and historic items, but the rifle will be used for hunting, i was wondering if there were any good historic looking rifles that would be good for hunting and also how i would go about choosing both types. i was also wondering if it would be best to get both in the same caliber.
thank you for your help.
