Don't know if I could pick a favorite and least favorite, but you handled that very well. I'd probably choose by picking the most accurate and least accurate. And that would be difficult too. Good job buddy.

Good stuff, Mark!

For me, it just needs to have a flintlock ignition, but I do prefer smooth bores over rifled bores :)

That is tough choice. I realize both has their place, however, I guess its whatever I'm in the mood to shoot at the moment.
Someday, I want to shoot long range, other times its just to "blow up" something.
We do agree about the flintlock ignition.
That's a given.
