    Bag flaps

    Thank you, sir. So you put a "welt" on the outside of the flap? Have you ever tried bending the top of the flap over the back of the bag and stitching it in place? (through the straps and all) I'd have to skive the top of the flap to do this, but thought it might look nice with no exposed edge...

    Bag flaps

    Hey all - I'm in the middle of making a hunting pouch, and have come to a standstill as to how to attach the flap to the body. I've got several ideas, but was wondering if some of you out there might post some pics of your bag and specifically how the flap is attached. I could really use the...

    Weatherproofing cow's knee

    Weatherproofing cow's knee

    Hi all: I would like to make a cow's knee out of some garment leather I have lying around. My question to you all is, what's the best way to weatherproof this thinner leather. I've done plenty of work with veg tanned stuff, but never with this lighter weight garment leather. The reason I would...

    Patch Lubricant question

    Thanks, y'all. I think I've got enough to start out with. Sorry if this topic has been covered before, and apparently I have still a lot to learn about this forum, as the topic has been moved. Too many sub-categories for simple minded folk like me... Again, thank you. Colin

    Patch Lubricant question

    Hi all - as a relative newbie to muzzleloading, what would you recommend as a patch lubricant? I have a Pedersoli Mortimer flintlock and as of right now, am shooting pre-lubed patches with a round ball. However, being as I abhor using pre packaged stuff if I can make it myself... what do you...

    1st trip to the range

    My projectiles are .530 of an inch in diameter. I have .015 patches, and will be getting some .010 patches for trying different loads. I plan on starting with about 40 - 60 grains of powder and working up from there, not to exceed 80 grains, which Pedersoli has recommended as the optimum load...

    1st trip to the range

    These are all great suggestions. I always forget a sharpie! I have hearing and eye protection, a vent pick (tied to the rifle), a cleaning jag and cleaning patches, a staple gun, a ball puller and a patch puller, but I am un-familiar with the term "over powder felts". What are these? One other...

    1st trip to the range

    Hello, all: I am a new member of the forum, and have inherited my father's Pedersoli Mortimer flintlock (.54 cal). I have spent some time searching the threads here, and have aquired some basic knowledge of how a flintlock works. Now... the time comes - I must actually shoot the darned thing...

    Another newbie from Alaska

    Hello all, my name is Colin, and I currently live in Wasilla, Alaska. I am relatively new to muzzleloading. I used to shoot with my father some 20 years ago or so, but have not had the opportunity to pursue the sport further. I recently inherited my father's Mortimer flintlock, and am looking...
