    Pictures and a walk on the prairie today with my hawken...

    Wow! Beautiful country, and thanks for sharing your photos.

    Old eyes.

    Oldwood, My 77 year old eyes have both had cataract surgery and the resulting new lenses. I've also "enjoyed" detached retinas, and now the onset of glaucoma with a stent in my left eye (my shooting eye) to reduce pressure. My shooting has not improved of late, so I decided to purchase the...

    18th Century Artisan Show

    The wife and I will head up to Lewisburg on Friday, joined by another couple. It will be a first time event for us all, and we're looking forward to an enjoyable road trip.

    Left-handed Jaeger feasible?

    Well, I took the plunge today after speaking with Doug at Pecatonica River Long Rifle Supply Co., and ordered a swamped, 31" Colerain barrel and a maple stock with the barrel inletted and the ram rod channel drilled. Thanks, tenngun for the Pecatonica suggestion. I've never dealt with...

    New flint kit

    Good luck with your build, and I second the request for photos. Building a new rifle is a great way to spend a winter, and a set of plans is a wise decision. Don't ask me why I know!

    Left-handed Jaeger feasible?

    B.J.H., I'm thinking I'd want a swamped barreled .54 or.58 in 31" or 36". I guess I was hung up mostly on lock choices since the ones usually seen on right-handed jaegers have such a pronounced shape. I've always been satisfied with my Siler locks, and like the larger Queen Anne's English...

    Left-handed Jaeger feasible?

    Thanks, Pete! That is a beautiful jaeger rifle, and a winter project is really starting to take form. It is interesting that my first left-handed rifle was a used "Yorktown" model built by Brad Emig of Cabin Creek. Since then, Brad built my .54 cal. "Yorktown", and I used his kit to build my...

    Left-handed Jaeger feasible?

    B.J.H., All of my flintlocks (5), are equipped with left-handed Silers, and if push comes to shove, I'll use another one for a "Rat-type" jeager. I've needed to have one frizzen replaced over the years, and that was back in my days of competition shooting and re-enacting the Rev. War. I...

    Need advice on LH kit makers

    I'm a lefty and have built TVM kits. I have never been disappointed with their kits, and the few occasions I needed to speak to them by phone resulted in the assistance I was looking for. I requested kits with only the barrel and ram rod channel inletted, preferring to inlet the remaining...

    Left-handed Jaeger feasible?

    Thanks tenngun, I will check both suppliers. Maybe this project will get a start!

    Left-handed Jaeger feasible?

    Thanks, Rat, for the reply. That is a fine looking piece you have there! Was the stock pre-inletted for your right-handed lock? I'm not sure Jim Chambers offers a left-handed "Colonial" English lock, but L & R offers a left-handed Queen Anne's lock which is similar. Is the barrel straight or...

    Left-handed Jaeger feasible?

    As a lefty and an admirer of Germanic jaegers, I've tossed around the idea of building one, but was wondering if any leftys here have considered such a project. I don't think there is a left-handed lock available which might be historically correct, and a stock blank seems to be the only...

    Pleased to be back in the fold

    I've been around this forum for several years, but had difficulty getting re-connected with the new forum format. With Angie's help, I'm back. I started down this flintlock rabbit hole in the late 70's when PA originated the Nation's first flintlock season, and 45+ years later, I still look...
