More choices

[Hanshi]

Having more compassion than brother Hawken50, I say list your must-have 5 guns if that's all you could end up with.  If you don't own at least 5, get out there and start looking!

5? That makes it a lot easier.
1.  My .45 caliber Issac Haines tribute flintlock with 42" barrel that I (hopefully) will get back on and complete.
2.  .36 Caliber Mongrel made Lancaster caplock.
3.  Mongrel made CVA caplock mountain rifle in .45
4.  Ted Hatfield .50 flinter with 39" barrel
5.  Lyman GPH flinter in .54. 



Note to my Northern brother Dogshirt, sorry about the flintlocks, but I have been working on a couple of large ranches and there is a lot of fencing to tighten.   

[Hanshi]

I'll step in now.

1.  The .45 Lancaster flintlock.
2.  The .62 smoothbore.
3.  The .50 early Lancaster/York/youth rifle hybrid.
4.  The iron mounted .36 SMR
5.  The fine Euroarms .54 US 1841 "Mississippi" rifle.

If I could have more than five I'd add those five of hotfxr's.

Now what should I do with the other 20 + 

[Cranbrook]

5 will do in a pinch!  But I prefer one for every day of the week, just like underwear!
Speaking of underwear, we who enjoy the black powder shooting sports can thank the ladies of yesteryears for their old expression used to denote....unmentionables. 

While they may have been talking about their under britches bloomers we use their term stealthily to hint at breech loading boomers!

2) 45 caliber flintlock Virginia 42" Green Mnt. barrel, L&R Bailes lock, iron mounts, fancy walnut stocked, built by yours truly

Can I include bulldog Ladies in addition to my 5?   

Yes if you sign on as her.  

[DandJofAZ]

Closer to 25, but wife would like me to sell a few.  Did give my daughter an SKS last year, but don't think it would muzzle load very well.

[flintboomer]

If they have to load from the muzzle???

.40 Lange Lancaster flint
.54 TC Renegade
TC Hawken with .40 GM drop in barrel

.44 percussion revolver. It doesn't actually load from the front but close enough.
A flint pistol

[Keb]

These aren't "must haves" but "haves". I'm done gathering them and this is what I've left.
.77 Club butt
.65 smooth rifle
.62 Fowler
.55 smooth rifle
.50 full stock Hawken flint rifle
.40 rifle
.32 rifle
.36 smooth cap pistol

I've given 7 long guns to my grandchildren, too.

I used to have an SKS but sold it before we moved.  Never could figure out where the flint was supposed to go, anyway.
