[tac]

David Minshall, competition secretary of the British Muzzleloading Association MLAGB, is a prolific writer on the subject, and is keen to share his interest and acquired skills with everybody with a similar interest. I know that there are a few here with British Victorian-era rifles and carbines, and I'd like to share his generous writings, at his behest, with all of you here.
