    NMLRA fall meet 2023

    When I was a kid I had always wanted to go to Freindship. Last year I went to the last few days. It was winding down. This year I missed the June meet so I thought about the fall meet. How does it compare to June? I am going to hang out a bit and what not.

    Road Trip to WI and Mich. Help Needed

    The Antlers restrauant in Sault st Marie is awesome. If you go west on us 2 there is a big spring that's awesome, it's a state park. Close by there is a state park ghost town down on a peninsula going into lake Michigan, maybe called Fayette if memory serves.

    Lyman uberti 1858 36 cal plunger

    I appears the older models plunger hole is smaller. So the plunger has no step. I think newer models used the 44 frame for a 36 and use a stepped plunger. My lyman frame looks the same as a 44 frame but might have been specifically made for the 36 and has a smaller plunger hole

    Lyman uberti 1858 36 cal plunger

    Thanks, I checked their plumger. Their plunger has a step in it whereas the lyman is same diameter one end to the other. I have one of the stepped plungers and have thought about trying to modify it but there is a lot of modification required, really beyond hand fitting.

    Lyman uberti 1858 36 cal plunger

    Picked up a lyman 1858 uberti in 36 cal. The nose of the plunger is in such a shape it gouges round ball real bad. It may have been modified for conical rounds. I would like to replace it. Ordered a new part off line. It's way different. The new plunger is stepped, the old plunger is same dia...

    northwest trade musket decisions

    Been thinking of picking up a northwest trade musket as my first flintlock. I'm not a reenactor, but want one for my own use and am a history buff. I've searched the forum for ideas and whatnot.

    thanks for the welcomes, I haven't really done much blackpowder shooting lately, hope to remedy that. Have a couple original longarms that had belonged to my dad that I've been wanting to get out and shoot.

    new member from tip of the mitt

    I found this forum while web searching a source for a trade musket. As a youngster black powder was my passion but alas I was cash poor. Built a couple percussions from parts and such. My granddad had slabs of walnut, apple and cherry in his shop attic. Would scour the Dixie gun works catalog...
