Seth Isaacson on Muzzleloaders and the Rock Island Auction Company

➽ ➽ Support the channel - nmlra.org/join ➽ ➽ Today we are talking with Seth Isaacson, the lead historian at the Rock Island Auction Company. While Seth has an interest in a variety of historic firearms, his personal passion and specialty is with muzzleloaders.

This episode is a packed one, we talk about Seth, the best muzzleloaders of Rock Island Auction Company history, shooting with friends and more. We hope you enjoy listening!

Raised in a Victorian home in Illinois, Seth has had an interest in history and biology for as long as he can remember. Now, a young father, Seth spend a lot of his time analyzing firearms as they pass through the Rock Island Auction system. Getting a hands on look with fine original and contemporary muzzleloaders is something many of us dream of, but that is Seth's day to day. Whether handling a fine rifle from Jud Brennan, or Alexander Hamilton's personal pistols, each day brings something new.

Muzzleloaders don't just stay at work for Seth, when not researching and writing about fine muzzleloaders he and a group of coworkers from RIA head to the range with their personal blackpowder arms for a day of fun and friendship. From what we hear, Seth and his friends are working on converting more RIAC employees into muzzleloading enthusiasts (an initiative we can get behind!)
