    Smoothbore Musket or Fowler vs Shotgun

    Hello everyone, I'm not sure how long actual "shotguns" have been around--I've heard of flintlock shotguns, and I believe it was a Scottish preacher named Forsyth who developed the percussion cap to aid him in duck hunting. Would shotguns as we now know them have been around during the F & I...

    Rustic Arms/Narragansett Arms

    I own a Narragansett Early Virginia Rifle. Quality-wise the wood to metal fit is superb and it is very nicely finished. It is well worth the price to me, and could easily be my favotite firearm. As mentioned, Narragansett products are much more expensive. I acquired mine before the company...

    Narragansett Armes

    A couple of years ago I ordered an early Virginia from them--was told it would take about six months, but it was ready in about 4 1/2 months. The quality? The ramrod was broken when I received it--it had been crooked. The Chambers lock had a horrendous trigger pull and would sometimes be hard...

    Priming with 3f?

    I think with most locks you can use 3F. About 20 years ago someone told me 3F would be ok in a bind, if you crushed it some--you don't need to. My Pedersoli Kentucky has a 1/2 flint--have only used 4f. I have a small Siler with a 5/8 flint, and a Robbins with a 3/4 flint--used in matches and...
