    where to get a truly historic gonne?

    Jumpshot, What is the grade and quantity of powder used? Is a patch used with the ball? Is a fuse used in the touch hole or do you rely on powder? Thanks.

    Mortar

    Talk about deja-vu! We were just talking about Cannon Golf. I guess great minds..... Let's see. What should be in your bag? Maybe a cannon for the long holes and the mortar for chipping, pitching and sand shots. The BIG question.....what is used on the green?

    Mortar

    Attached is a link to a picture of my golf ball mortar that has a Dom Carpenter tube. I went to the golf driving range on the course that my friend owns. We set up early in the morning well before anyone showed up for golf. I loaded the mortar with 100 grains of FFFg black powder. We cleared the...

    Touch Hole ?

    Since I made an "antique firearm" (flintlock) does that make me "antique"? :confused: I hate it when the government calls me old. :( (g) Antique Firearms The term "antique firearm" means any firearm not designed or redesigned for using rim fire or conventional center fire ignition...

    Patch Box used for Patches!

    I like that! Can't you just see that? All is quiet, you've been sitting there for what seems like half the day. Suddenly you hear a faint sound, something is moving towards you... just as you confirm the size and position of the deer..... Ring, ring ring. It's your cell phone in the patch box...

    Interest in Engraving Tutorial?

    I, too, am very interested. I had a Great Grandfather who did damascening on the Waltham watches. I remember seeing an old pocket watch when I was very young that he had worked on.

    Nana's Gun

    Many decades ago my Grandmother showed me the gun she kept in her bed table. She had it in case a burglar came into the house. Boy was I impressed. Nana had a real gun. As I got older I realized it was so rusty that I sure the ball would not be able to make it out the end of the barrel and she...

    Practical Distance

    I know this question is very subjective and I'm not looking to start a fight but.... What is a practical distance for a smooth bore flintlock rifle, 42", 36" and a 30" barrel? How close would the grouping be?
