    Help on front sight for a Kentucky

    I need a little help here with replacing a front site on a Kentucky rifle. The other day I went to a local gun store and found a flintlock Kentucky rifle and I only paid $75.00 for it. I can tell from the style that it's a CVA kit rifle and who ever built it did a very good job at building it...

    Pietta 1858 Buffalo .44brassframe?

    Seeing as you have the Buffalo, that's the Buntline model. Nice gun, I also have one. I assume you're not taking it into battle, it should give you many years of shooting pleasure With the long barrel, it make a very nice deer gun.

    ultimate flintlock for ?

    I have two flintlocks, a .44 Kentucky and a .50 Hawken. I would really want to take my Kentucky, but not knowing what I may encounter, I'll take my Hawken. :wink: Pustic

    It looks like a modern Hawken.

    Help on barrel stamp.

    If that was built in the 1700's, it would be a flintlock.

    Help! How to protect flint and lock from snow?

    You could do what I did 27 years ago. I used to live in southern Maryland and used to hunt with a flintlock in the snow. So, 27 years ago I moved to Florida..., no snow. :grin: :grin:

    family rifle

    What's that written on the lock? It looks like it reads PHILAD..... which leads me to think it's a Pennsylvania made rifle. Also it has ARM and something else on the lock.

    Single Shot or Revolver?

    I use my 1858 Remington Bison. The longer barrel lets me reach out and touch the game.

    Is it just me? Pietta rant

    I have five 1858 Remington reproductions with three being Pietta's and I never had any problems with any of them. One of them is a brass frame Bison and that is my main hunting sidearm and I have shot more deer with that than a long gun. I'll lean my Kentucky rifle against a tree and take aim...

    How Long Can It Stay Loaded ?

    I have five 1858 Remington reproductions and I wouldn't hesitate to use any of them for home defense, even my Bison. I have an R&D conversion cylinder to go from .44 RB to .45 LC and that makes it more practical to use as a home defense weapon, but I would still use it as a cap and ball. If it...

    This is more of a "What would have done"? question

    My first gun ever was an EIG-EIBAR .35 cal. percussion rifle, that I got back in the early 1960's while I was still in high school. I had an old Harley springer front end with the handle bars and my bike was a Honda, not a good match. A school buddy of mine had a Harley and wanted the springer...

    What is your favorite campfire cooking utensil?

    When I go camping the one thing I hate doing is lugging and cleaning cooking gear, so I never take any, beside that I do not own any to take. I do take a knife, fork and spoon, roll of aluminum foil, a wire hanger, small paper bags and paper plates. I work up a menu for those items and I eat...

    Flint and Steel

    Something else the scouts like to make and that's a box oven from a card board box. If made right, they work very well. :grin: http://usscouts.org/scoutcraft/oven.asp http://www.buckskin.org/Resources/Outdoor/Files/boxoven.pdf I used to work with the scouts, both cub and boy scouts, so I...

    Black powder storage

    Years ago I used to work in a bullet factory here in town that made 20mm rounds for the army. The escapments came in wooden ammo type boxs and I saved several of them, they had no use for them after they were emptied. I put hinges, handles and latches on two of them. One I use for my blackpowder...

    Me at Coon Hollow

    I was sandbaggin' on this post until I saw this "FHBPB". Just what is this "FHBPB"? With you being dressed like this and initials like that, it leaves me to believe it's some kind of a reenactment group. Looks and sounds like fun.
