Muzzleloaders in the UK can contact myself for any queries or advice.As a member of the Trafalgar Muzzleloaders we have members with a wealth of ability and knowledge including a member who makes re-enactment matchlock, wheel-locks, cannons etc., jug choking is an easy operation for him. We meet every fortnight at Curborough near Litchfield and do all the Midland fairs. We can supply all your reloading requirements at cost to members and friends + Greener's reloading recipes, hints and tips. Only an email away.

Gentlemen, thank you for your kind remarks. Dingelfutz, I know what you mean brother; it just seems that people, on both sides of the pond, aren’t all that interested in muzzleloading and muzzleloaders anymore. There are some really good craftsmen out there producing quality stuff, but its not like it use to be.

I have no idea how many still use a ml'er, especially a shotgun. But for hunting, it all I have used in about the past 8-9 yrs. I started with percussion SxS's and now it is only flint SxS's. It is so much fun and that is one of the reasons I hunt.

I was shown this Westley and Richards by a friend in the trade. I was not interested at first, it being a muzzle loader. However it tweaked something and I just thought I should get one...it's also from a nice London Birmingham name. It just different and I'm so glad I bought it.
