    What happened to the dove???

    I guess they all came to my neighborhood. We took a bunch of whitewings yesterday. I've never seen whitewing here just north of Houston.

    Ultra-hi

    I was at Collectors firearms yesterday, gawking at stuff I'll never be able to afford when my good buddy pointed out a flintlock pistol sticking out of a pile of old beat up powder horns. Seeing as I have been wanting to get into flintlocks for awhile, I asked to see it. It was in good shape...

    Tandem gun build (56k death)

    But will it turn it as black. I don't want a tarnished brass look, I'm going for more of a blued steel look.

    Tandem gun build (56k death)

    Any of you guys use the 44/40 blue? I was thinking of using it on the brass fittings on the pistol to take them to black. I tested it on the end of one of the ramrod thimbles and I really like the way it looked, but I was wondering if any of you had experience with longevity. Will the brass wear...

    The man room was reclaimed out of the Tack room up at the Barn. It's still a work in progress, but we like it.

    What do you love to hunt the most?

    Texas Hill Country whitetails are my favorite. Hogs and exotics are fun too, but I really love the whitetail.

    Tandem gun build (56k death)

    Well you guys were right. After I built the pistol for my dad for fathers day, the bug just kept bitin'. So here are some pics from Hono Lane and I with our tandem gun build in the new man room. Here is the rifle in the box Filing Hondo's serious face with the dremel Sanding...

    Lee Conical Bullets

    Does anyone have any experience with Lee minne or improved minne balls. I read that the improved Mine balls were self cleaning (they help scrub fouling from previous shots.) Does this significantly reduce the life of your barrel? Do they actually do anything like that or is it just hype? btw, I...

    Fathers day present

    Well I finally got the time off to go up to Kerrville on 4th of July weekend, which worked out as Dad's birthday was on the 6th, and boy did he love it. He had no sooner got it out of the box than he looked up at me and said "did you bring stuff to shoot out of it or do we need to go get some...

    My First Scrimshaw Powder Horn!!

    That's a damn fine horn. I'm a guy who likes different, and that one would sure stand out. I like the darker horns anyway.

    Bad when people steal pistols (my second born done the deed)

    Please tell me he's not reffering to the powder measure as a "cocaine stick"

    "New" - Traditions Pirate Flintlock Pistol

    I handled one of these at the shot show this year. The representative that I spoke to said they were getting requests from people doing pirate reenactments for an inexpensive flintlock pistol with a "pirate look about it". Also Traditions webiste allways has their MSRP on guns, most retailers...

    Fathers day present

    I'm sure he'll like her, I'm hoping he falls in love with the whole muzzle loading thing so I'll have some more guns to play with soon. As far as my bug, I've already got an identical kit to that one to build for myself, and I'm trying to decide what caliber I want for the rifle build I have in...

    Fathers day present

    Built this traditions pistol kit for my Dad for fathers day. This is the first kit I've built by myself, and I think he is going to like it. He doesn't have the ML bug yet but I'm hoping one of these in a presentation case will give him the itch.

    Smooth bore pistol bullet question

    It's a reproduction gun. We've shot it a whole bunch with PRB's. We've been afraid to shoot it with the conicals. They kind of look like giant Mine' balls.
