    Rust Prevention Tips

    I just came up with an idea - probably not a very good one as no one has mentioned it yet. But has anyone ever tried that Liquid Glass stuff they use to wax cars on their guns?

    First time out with Sea Service Pistol

    Alright, thanks. A couple more questions: What does the G.R. underneath the crown on the lock stand for? And what does the EDGE printed above the 1739 mean?

    First time out with Sea Service Pistol

    I received my pistol from Loyalist Arms today and took it out a few hours later to shoot. I'm lucky to have an empty field about a half mile through the woods from my house. This was my first time shooting a gun with no sights on it, and I can see it is somthing to get use to. After about 5...

    Round Ball Question

    Okay, I just got .60 caliber round balls for my new Sea Service Pistol. They are different than the .49 caliber I bought for my Traditions Kentucky Flintlock. The one's I had for my first muzzleloader were entirely round. The new one's I got have a flattened out surface that rises slightly above...

    Shooting rages

    I'm sure there are ranges closer to you, but last year I went to school in Mequon north of Milwaukee. There is a range in Grafton near there, but that would be close to an hour drive for you.

    Quality of Traditions Rifles

    Okay, I emailed Traditions concerning the problem and also mentioned how they had hit the front piece of stock with somthing leaving the large indent. The reply came from the customer service manager and was very unhelpful and unkind. He said that no indent was in the stock when it left his...

    Quality of Traditions Rifles

    Well, the gun still functions fine, it just has long crack lines spreading throughout the stock. I suppose it could get so bad that the whole stock begins to break apart.

    Quality of Traditions Rifles

    Hey, At the beginning of the summer I purchased my first blackpowder rifle - a Traditions Kentucky Flintlock. After shooting it about 10 times, the front piece of stock began to crack in several places. I ended up sending it back and they replaced the front piece of stock saying it was...

    interested in flintlock pistol (loyalist arms?)

    Hi. I'm considering purchasing a flintlock pistol. I'm having trouble finding distributors, however. I am thinking about a few models from Loyalist Arms such as the early sea service pistol. Has anyone had any experience with this company? There prices seem reasonable. Do there pistols come...
