    18th Cen Ball Puller

    18th Cen Ball Puller

    Hello, What type of ball puller would have been used in the 1700s? I assume the modern screw on for the loading stick was not the method. Thanks

    Traditional North East Indian Accoutrements

    Museums are fine and dandy; however, I prefer more personal insight or recommended reference. There is a vast amount of material out there which half of which I am sure is not worth the paper it is written on. That is why I am looking to a more public forum where I can query those like...

    Traditional North East Indian Accoutrements

    It is true that a picture is worth a thousand words. I understand that my initial question was very broad but that is testament to my lack of knowledge on the subject at hand. My interest stems for the home and area in which I live. My house was built in southern New Hampshire in 1771 on...

    Jager Butt Plate

    It is from Pecatonica as part of their Jager kit. It is in the traditional Germanic style similar in shape to rifles No. 2,3 & 4 in Vol. 1 of Shumway's Rifles of Colonial America.

    Jager Butt Plate

    I have sunk the tang of the butt plate flush into the comb of the rifle and now as I set the plate down against the butt I notice a small gap between the plate and the butt. There is no light showing but I want to eliminate the gap. Is it simply a matter of screwing the plate to the heel and...
