Muzzleloader Safety in the Field
Thank you for the responses. This helps me. There are many times while I'm out in the field that I'll simply unload my shotgun to make safe before attending to whatever business I have to do. It's easy enough to do with my pump and I was wondering how you guys handle it. Thank you, Dirty- Dirty Rotten

Muzzleloader Safety in the Field
I've been reading on this forum for some time trying to decide what direction to go for a Black Powder long arm for hunting. The choices seem to be virtually endless so I'll try to keep this to a specific point. Caplock vs. Flintlock. Particularly if the Caplock is "Safer" for use in the...- Dirty Rotten

Temporary Rear Sight on Fowler
Duane, I was thinking patched round ball for deer. For muzzleloader rifles and shotguns with slugs you need the sights. They don't address smoothboore muzzleloaders specifically so I figured if I'm shooting a single projectile, round ball, I would need the sights like the shotgun regs...- Dirty Rotten

Temporary Rear Sight on Fowler
Typically the tang sight would sit back a bit and be lower than the barrel at the base with the peep level with the front post. Here's another post on the subject I found in the furum here. Post: T-C Vernier Tang sight (Topic#255923) Could be a bit cumbersome in practice. The insert...- Dirty Rotten

Temporary Rear Sight on Fowler
I think I could use that same hole. I did a search on Flintlock tang sights. Other guys have done this. I think the key will be to encorporate it into the initial build so it won't be an afterthought. I have plenty of time to figure this all out and look at some other examples. Going to...- Dirty Rotten

Temporary Rear Sight on Fowler
Swampy, I thought about the magnet or adhesive solution or maybe some kind of strap on or clamp on device. But this is Jersey. I don't want to have any question that my weapon is within regs. And I don't want to comprimise the barrel with cuts that don't need to be there. Another idea I had...- Dirty Rotten

Temporary Rear Sight on Fowler
Didn't think about the tang sight. That could be a good call. Drill tap the tang with a Lyman levergun sight for deer and it won't comprimise the barrel itself. Then just drop some screws or decrative whatever in the tap holes when not in use. Perfect! Genious! Didn't think of it that way.- Dirty Rotten

Temporary Rear Sight on Fowler
I've spent some time researching a muzzleloader for hunting in NJ. I am now focused on a Jim Chambers Pennsylvania Fowler kit. Should do the job for me on squirrel, rabbit, turkey and deer. My problem is, that in NJ, deer hunting requires a fixed, adjustable rear sight. Is there a temporary...- Dirty Rotten
