    Traditions "Pirate Pistol"

    Does anyone have direct experience with the (unfortunately named) Traditions "Pirate Pistol"? I briefly handled one at my local Cabelas several months ago. It seemed to be an attractive pistol and the lock geometry seemed to be much improved over that of several years ago. Just wanted to know if...

    Lyman Great Plains -does it have sling swivels?

    I put the forward loop around the ramrod. Plenty secure for me.

    Lyman great plains

    There are those who "defarb" their firearms, removing all the factory writing on the gun in the belief that it makes their gun more "authentic". Perhaps this is one such rifle.

    Lyman great plains

    When buying a used muzzleloader, the condition inside the bore is of the greatest importance. Get yourself a bore light and inspect the bore for signs of rust or pitting. This is not an uncommon find. You can get a bore light at your sporting goods store's fishing dept. They sell miniature...

    Traditions Mountain Rifle?

    I have not handled one of these guns yet, but from looking at the picture they are not plastic sights.

    Traditions Tennessee rifle

    I have not handled the Traditions Tennessee rifle, so could well be wrong, but I believe all of the Traditions rifles I am familiar with used a patent breech.

    TURN is back.

    I will second the above. Missed a lot of the dialog last night. I find this to be true with a lot of programming these days. I thought it was just me and my aging ears.

    Dressing up a Blue Ridge rifle

    Very unique look....I like it. Gives your rifle a character all of its own.

    Safety glasses

    I wear modern style safety glasses every time I shoot. I have had retinal surgery on both eyes due to diabetes and do not wish to have any more operations. I'm not aware of any glasses that are HC/PC in appearance......the "period" glasses I see are to small to offer adequate protection. Safety...

    Austin Halleck Flintlock Mountain Rifles

    From what I have read (and I have no firsthand knowledge), a lot depends on when it was made. In it's later stages, the company apparently had pretty severe financial difficulties and quality during that time suffered badly. Unfortunately, I have no specific information regarding...

    Plains Rifle Fun!

    The Hawkens are very nice, but I have always been partial to rifles in the Leman style.

    Colt 1860 2nd Gen VS Ruger Old Army

    Brand new? I would be asking myself if there was a way to buy both.

    Knapping Hammer Use?

    I would like to see that. Have read articles about it but a video would be great!

    If you could change one thing about muzzleloading...

    I would like to see both the sights and the target at the same time with my aging eyes.

    .50 Dixie Tennessee

    If I remember correctly (always in doubt these days), the .50 Dixie Tennessee Mountain Rifle was originally produced with a 7/8" barrel. It was later increased to 15/16", for whatever reason I don't know. Whatever the reason, it does make for a pretty hefty rifle.

    A Class Reunion for Dutch on his birthday

    Happy Birthday Dutch from one English major to another. I have profited immensely from your system and from the Q & A files you were good enough to send me. All the best!

    Goex vs Schuetzen..?

    Same situation. I only live about 5 mi. from Goex Master Distributor J&J Pyrotechnic in NE Pa. On my last order, there was only .40 difference between regular Goex and Old Eynsford (13.10 vs 13.50 lb.), so I opted for OE. Have been perfectly satisfied with it. We are indeed very lucky to have an...
