    Black Powder Aluminium Flask?

    Make friends with some local carpenters and plumbers. Ask them for an old set of bathtub drain pipes, 1 1/2" brass. Then just use your lathe to make the end caps, spouts etc. save a lot in cost of brass. Machining a tube from a solid piece of brass would scrap an a lot of the material. Now, as...

    Beware GunBroker Sales

    A recent purchase of an unmentionable on GB got around all of this. It was NOT an auction listing but a buy it now price. I emailed the seller to ask a question about his description (he had listed as new but it had already been transferred to someone so I corrected him that it should have been...

    Get your deer tested

    CWD has been being talked about for over 25 years now. Still no evidence that it can jump to humans. Learned 45 years ago that there are liars, damned liars and statisticians. Also that using sound mathematical logic that 2 plus 2 equals 3. I have to think that some scientists using faulty...

    SOLD $100 off 1863 Springfield by Navy Arms Miroku or Pedersoli

    Could you post a picture of the barrel where the sight used to be so we can see how bad the previous owner screwed this up.

    Maybe I'll come down and get me some "thro'd rolls"! Not sure where my grandson's traveling soccer and baseball games will on each of the weekends, just know they do a lot of traveling!

    New to muzzleloaders need help identifying a tc muzzleloader

    Congratulations and welcome the club of muzzleloaders! As previously mentioned, be sure to check to see if it is loaded or not with the ramrod. Also, never dry fire it as you will damage the nipple and possibly the hammer and internal lock components. The accessories that you received are worth...

    Suggestions for 'old time' dark/black stain or dye?

    Just thought I chime in, no experience in staining wood but wasn't there something many decades ago called "lamp black" ? Which I always thought was made from the soot created from different lighting methods. I may be way off the mark on this but I used to have some small kerosene lamps...

    If muzzleloading was a sport on ESPN (funny video)

    Great little video. I remember an episode of "Top Shot" where they are shooting a black powder smooth bore pistol (don't remember if flint or percussion) with a loose ball! No wading, patching, nothing. Not very period correct in my mind. They had to be careful to not let the ball roll out of...
