peashooter85:My Father’s Musket,My dad purchased this rifle from a Cabela’s catalog around 10-15 years ago. Made by Traditions, it is a .50 caliber percussion muzzleloader called a “Shenandoah Rifle”. Patterned after the Pennsylvania and Kentucky long rifle, the Shenandoah rifle is made to be lighter, slightly shorter, and simpler. At the time it cost around $400. Now they go for $500 - $700. Back in the day this rifle has provided meat on the table as it has killed a good share of deer over the years. Now this pretty rifle is relegated to a decorative piece, as my father hunts with an inline muzzleloader, with the exception of PA flintlock season, when he hunts with a Thompson Center Hawkens flintlock. -- source link
