    Thoughts on this Matchlock

    Looking for the expert opinion on this one. I've recently fell in love with the pre-flintlock guns. I'm trying to assemble the evolution of firearms display. I want to shoot them often as well, so I'm not as concerned with it being original or 100% correct. I found the gun below on Clay Smiths's...

    My First Wheellock

    I’ve done some internet searches and can’t find anyone names Hinson that made wheellocks or barrels. The name looks like it was stamped in there so I figured it would be a well know maker.

    My First Wheellock

    Yeah. I’m going to have to search for that write up so I can order the right pyrite.

    My First Wheellock

    Yep, that was one of the first things I noticed. I figured that I could call TRS and get the correct part for it.

    My First Wheellock

    I just purchased this wheel lock last night off GB. I probably paid to much for it and it's probably not historically correct but I've been wanting one to add to my collection. I plan to teach the kids and their friends about the evolution of guns and a wheel lock is the one that I didn't have...

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Went to the Tennessee State Museum in Nashville. They had a lot of interesting guns. They even had Davey Crockett’s powder horn and knife. I would highly recommend a visit if you are in the area and it’s free to visit.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I introduced my son and two of his 15 year old friends to flintlock shooting today. They all managed to put the 45 caliber PRB into the 6 inch target at 30 yards. They all told me that shooting the flintlock was way more cool than shooting the 22 pistol and AR. I gave them the full history from...

    Jack Garner 40 Year Rifle

    Thanks for sharing Ibothell. That was an interesting article. After reading it I realized that I was probably using to much powder in my .29 caliber. I was loading it with 30g of FFG. He was only using 12g. I’ll have to try that when I shoot again next week end.

    1841 Mississippi Rifle Stock

    I had been emailing with a guy named Daniel over there back before Thanksgiving. He said he could make my stock but then he stopped responding to all communications. I’ve emailed and called several times. I talked to David over at Lodgewood and he said that he hasn’t been able to get any stocks...

    1841 Mississippi Rifle Stock

    Does anyone know of someone who can custom make a 1841 Mississippi Rifle stock? I’m trying to reproduce the confederate Dickson and Nelson rifle. They stock is modeled after the 1841 but it doesn’t have a patch box or the barrel band spring grooves. I’ve tried dunlapwood crafts but they appear...

    Stupid, stupid, stupid

    Schuentzen 3f with Goex 4F in the pan. I drilled out my vent hole to 1/16 today. We'll see if that helps.

    Stupid, stupid, stupid

    I shot my first flintlock yesterday. I was so excited after I loaded the rifle and shot it successfully. I was thrilled, thinking that I’m going to love this new hobby. I quickly lubed up another spit patch and started the ball down the barrel when I realized “Dang-it” I forgot the powder. My...

    Jack Garner 40 Year Rifle

    This is a great question and response Rifleman and Notchy Bob. I struggled with finding bullets, molds, jags, etc. for the 29 caliber. I found the Ballistic Products as well as I found .283 RB's on Track of the Wolf. I went with the .283 balls to start and figured I would try a thin patch. If...

    Jack Garner 40 Year Rifle

    I plan to. I'm going to my first Tennessee Longhunters meeting this weekend with hopes that they'll let me come shoot with them every other month.

She took them and put them in a storage unit along with a lot of other inherited rifles, shotguns, and pistols (The grandfather was VP of the Tennessee Gun Collectors association, so he had a lot...

    "Youngster's" thoughts on 2023 Alabama Kentucky Rifle Show

    Hey Breadbasket, I attended the same show as you. It was my first time going to a show and I’m lucky I got out of there with any money left in my bank account. I went there to pick up my first 2 flintlock rifles made by Mr. Jack Garner. I also meet Paul Hall and it turns out he lives less than 3...

    Jack Garner 40 Year Rifle

    I just picked up my 40 year rifles from Jack Garner this weekend. Pretty cool story on these. My wife's grandfather started building these 1982 and then passed away. They have been laying unfinished for the last 40 year. Jack Garner, who owns Tennessee Valley Manufacturing in Corinth MS agreed...
