    Pedersoli Brown Bess very unreliable

    I do have larger flints that I ordered from Track of the Wolf. The one in the picture is the flint that came in the box with the musket, it's pretty small and amber color. I'm sure the others will perform even better this was just a quick test since I found some leather I wanted to try. The...

I'm sure I have to be doing something wrong because there is no way a flint lock can be this unreliable. I went with a pedersoli to avoid the indian...

    Spanish AMR Pistols. What Caliber?

    This .40 caliber casing goes in and out of the barrel almost perfectly. I really would like to try shooting it but not sure on the ammo size can anyone help me out here. I don't wanna order the wrong thing. Is the round ball is supposed to fit tightly?

    They are great to do business with. It was the perfect service I called them up they received my emailed scanned copy of the release statement I ordered 5lbs of powder (3lb GoEX, 2lb Swiss FFg) They emailed me a tracking number and it arrived quickly I wish every company was this good to work with.
