    Range report

    I'll give the .454 a shot and maybe up the charge to 25 grains. I'm also going to experiment with the .50 at 50-100 yards.

    Project Idea: Wheel lock long pistol

    I really want a project gun. I just finished refurbishing my .45 Kentucky long rifle and I had a good time doing it but as soon as I get the barrel browned it will be finished. I’d like a long term project to occupy myself and keep me from boredom during the week. I remember as a kid looking...

    Range report

    Took my .50 cal flintlock rifle out along with my .44 revolver. I set up a paper target at 25 and milk jugs full of water at 50. The flint lock did well at 25 with 50 grains of powder. I managed to get a good grouping about two inches low and one inch left of the bulls eye. I was able to hit...

    what color was this gun suppose to be?

    I'm going to brown it myself. I just have to look into how to do that. Thanks for the info.

    what color was this gun suppose to be?

    how much will it cost to put a new finish on it?

    what color was this gun suppose to be?

    That is excellent info. Thank you very much for that but my question is. Sold i keep scrubbing? I'm seeing small amounts of pitting in spots so I don't know. It's almost to small to see but if I get real close I can just notice it. It's a beautiful rife and I don't want to risk screwing it...

    rust covered .54 flint, unknown variety.

    thanks for the info I'm going to have at it tomorrow. I just need to figure out if I'm taking off the bluing on the outside or if it's suppose to be shiny steel.

    what color was this gun suppose to be?

    what color was this gun suppose to be? pics I took some steel wool to it and below the rust is shiny steel. I'm afraid I'm taking the bluing off but I don't know if this gun had bluing. I only remember it having a dark color but I called my dad and he said that it was covered in rust when...

    rust covered .54 flint, unknown variety.

    My dad found out that I was getting into black powder and let me borrow his flintlock for an extended amount of time. Considering he hasn’t touched it in four years probably a long time. The problem being that he hasn’t touched it in 4 years and my brother apparently took it out on the 4th of...

    lead casting

    I would really like to get into casting my own bullets but I’d like to keep the cost low. I’ve watched “how to” videos on youtube and it looks easy enough. I messed with the foundry, and forge at my high school a lot and I worked in a welding shop for two years so I’m not afraid of molten...

    Powder charge at 25 yards

    Well I've only gotten two with the flint lock so far. All my others have been with my .270 and 30-30 marlin. Out in PA where I hunt it's almost impossible to get a shot over 75 yards unless your in a tree stand over looking a field. I always shoot right behind the shoulder or as close as I...

    Powder charge at 25 yards

    lol yes that is true. I'm only concerned about getting the deer. Like I said I know very little the proper use of black powder. If I want to blow of testosterone I'll grab the .460 weatherby and lose the use of my right arm for a day. I'm over that kind of cheep thrills. I want to start...

    Powder charge at 25 yards

    Well the last doe I killed at ~40-45 yards and the buck before that was at about 50 maybe a little less. I know the gun shoots a little high so i can account for that. last year I had a grate shot at a 4 point buck that might have had brow points but I completely missed at about 35-40 yards...

    Hello from Germany

    Ja ist dieser Platz sehr nutzlich. Ich lebe in Amerika in Ohio. Mein Gitter GroBvater war von Deutschland, und ich erfuhr von ihm. Mein Deutsch ist sehr schlecht, weil ich es in Jahren nicht gesprochen habe.

    Powder charge at 25 yards

    Well I never realy knew what i was doing when i hunted white tail deer. My hunting load is 120gr of 2F with a round ball. I Just started shooting lack powder for fun after taking it out once a year to hunt for the last 4 years. I don't even know if 120gr is a good load for this rifle. All I...
