    Flintlock muzzleloaders will rule again

    Shoot fire Cayman I remember back in 1980 while stationed at Great Lakes Naval Base for my "A" school we'd run over to your town cause we could by beer legally there considering our age at the time 😁.

    BP's for Survival

    A cannon poking out each window. Five gallon buckets of fg,lots of fuse,and buckets full of nails for projectiles. And for those who get past that and the razor wire covering the doors I'll greet them with my 12g sxs ML shotgun.

    Possible New Kind of Short Starter for Smoothbores?

    My 1850's 12G. sxs ramrod has a button on the end also. Never understood why till I read this post though. Makes a lot of sense now.

    Bending wax cast trigger guard question

    Is that a kit pistol? Or a scratch build?

    Bending wax cast trigger guard question

    southern AZ active clubs?

    I'm in Vail about 20 miles s.e. of Tucson. I know that's not really close to Yuma though. I don't recall seeing anyone else on here from Yuma except you mushka. But I could be mistaken on that.

    southern AZ active clubs?

    OK thanks for the info. I've been looking for a closer place to home to shoot instead of where I use to go which was south of arivaca and meant staying overnight.

    Are we doing a disservice to new flint shooters?

    Shoot fire iv'e always thought one of the best things about shooting flinters WAS the pan flash. One of the big reasons I got into shooting them.

    I've had good luck with q-tips but think I'll try Zonie's idea of model paintbrush.
