Matchlock Home Built
As this is an unregistered piece it can never leave the property and is for display only. It was alot of fun to build. Only had to purchase the wood, barrel and steel ramrod. Have a total of $19 invested and enough left over wood and ramrod steel to build several more. My desire was to end up with a strickly basic early 1600 model that would have equiped some of the first American Colonial soilders of thier day.
I trust your Memorial day was Blessed with found memories and a dedicated heart to a Constitutional America.

Very nice work! I saw the pics before reading that you didn't fire a real round. Needless to say I was relieved to read that! Haha.

I read you loud and clear on that.. Been with muzzleloaders near all my life. My dad was a ML also so I have respect for BP in thin welded tubes. Mike in Peru
