Nice score! That will do nicely.

Altamont makes some really nice production, yet semi-custom looking grips for S&W. Check 'em out.

When I first heard that, it was said as: "Spectacles, testicles, vallet and vatch ..."

I hate to point you elsewhere, but you may get some more info and experiences over on the Modern Muzzleloading Forum.

Related to your post, the best sabots in my TC Omega are the "Harvester Crushed Rib" sabots, the tiny ribs allow easy loading and they're super accurate.

One of the first things I did when I moved south and near to Portsmouth was to visit HMS Victory, some of the cannons had flintlock ignition which surprised me.

I handled one (4" target model) very recently and was very impressed with the fit, finish and feel; but I've never had a chance to shoot one. Priced at $200 to $250 more than a similar stainless S&W (both used), I don't think I'd pay the premium.

There is another option where the long distance lens is in one eye and the close in lens is in the other eye. I know someone who did this and he says it works fine and he doesn't need glasses.
