    "The Revenant" DVD/Blu-Ray

    I just received Revenant from Netflix a couple of days ago. I've watched it twice so far....the cinematography is just stunningly beautiful. It really captured the stark, brutal beauty of the land where the story took place. Yeah, I know the Hugh Glass saga didn't take place in that locale but I...

    Replacement GPR percussion lock??

    The stock GPR percussion lock is fine as is. Some folks just like to tinker and swap parts to alter their rifles for the sake of "customizing" them for their own enjoyment. Nuthin' wrong with that but in the case of the percussion lock there is nothing to be gained in terms of performance. When...

    cabelas rifle

    FWIW, the Pedersoli manual on their website shows 1/4" x 28 also, so I guess we have a consensus. That said, it is kind of surprising that it is not a metric thread.

    Lyman GPR kit

    I think one of the Lyman kits is a very good bet for a first time builder. I would not start out on a kit that required more woodworking skills. But maybe that's just me....I have no woodworking ability at all and it would be very easy for me to convert a $900 kit into a $400 finished gun.

    Lyman GPR kit

    +1 on the above. The Lyman percussion lock will serve you as well as any "custom" lock, and the flint lock, though it does not have geometry as refined as an L&R, is very serviceable. And after a little tweaking, the factory trigger is fine. Although leaf springs are more authentic if that of...

    Escopeta, anyone?

    Ricky -- Those are mighty attractive pieces. Who, pray tell, was the Spanish maker?

    New plastic Goex container

    "House of Cans" Who knew? The can pictured sure looks to be the same shape as the old Goex can.

    The Bastard Gun, Part 2

    After I saw this picture, I had to go lie down for a little while.

    "The Revenant" DVD/Blu-Ray

    There will never be a movie made that will satisfy the "purists" who will criticize all aspects of the film's authenticity. Personally, I'm just happy that someone has produced a movie that takes place during the Muzzleloading era. We could use more of them.

    New plastic Goex container

    RMCOxyoke Co. makes one specifically for the new GOEX plastic cans. Here is the link: For 5.95 you can't go wrong. http://www.rmcoxyoke.com/inc/sdetail/cap_and_spout_for_new_plastic_goex_powder_can/6552/8944

    Mule Ear Lock

    L & R does mention in their description that it is interchangeable with one of their flint locks.

    Pietta Model 1858 brass

    Speaking of brass, I just looked and the 1851 with 5 1/2 in. barrel is on sale for 139.95. I'm tempted even though I don't need one.

    Crowds are coming to the wilderness

    Not to mention the Pennamite-Yankee war between settlers from Pennsylvania vs. those from Connecticut. As a Pennsylvanian I can say those Yankees can be troublesome. :grin:

    Crowds are coming to the wilderness

    Actually we have one: "Turn: Washington's Spies", the excellent AMC series about the Culper spy ring during the AWI. New season start should be getting close.

    The new Admiral movie.

    Hey Iowa....Thanks for letting us know about this one. Just added it to my queue on Netflix. According to them it will be available on 4/5/16. No mention of language or subtitles in the description, so I looked it up on imdb.com and it is listed as being available in English, so I am hoping that...

    Happy birthday to Dutch Schoultz!!!

    I am hooked on cap & ball

    Congratulations. Just so you know, your obsession will only get stronger as time goes on. One day in the future you will wake up and discover that you have a closet (or gun safe) full of muzzleloaders of all shapes and sizes.

    Rifle Magazine #40 July/August 1974

    Are you sure of the date/issue number? Issue no. 40 seems to be Jul/Aug 1975, not 1974.

    A Message from Bob Hoyt

    What necchi said bears repeating. The CVA/Traditions proprietary breeching system is a. Very strong and b. Best left alone. I will occasionally read a post by one of the "kitchen table gunsmiths" that populate our sport (hey, we all like to tinker) and it always makes me cringe when they...

    Value of a TC Hawkin?

    I am always attracted to a potential bargain buy myself. You say the Hawken looks good other than the barrel, so in this case I would say: 1. The barrel may be salvageable to the point that it would shoot well enough for a hunting gun. 2. You might be able to pick up a cheap replacement barrel...
