    Settle a Bet......

    Voyager: I saw that but your link was to the Iowa Code. There is also a Fed case out of the Eastern District of MI (Fed Ct) that says that regardless of Executive Pardon, a convicted felon can not own or possess a firearm. Just want to make sure that readers don't "selectivly" read what has...

    Settle a Bet......

    The answer in NO! Pistol which was a replica of 1859 Remington model black powder percussion pistol, which fell within statutory definition of "antique firearm," but which would expel projectile by explosion and was originally designed to be fired by use of a single hand, was both a "firearm"...

    Sharpening patch knife

    I have been trying to sharpen my patch knife using a traditional "whet" stone, with limited success. It is a new knife with a maple handle and the blade is made from an old file. Is there something (oil) I should be putting on the stone as I work the blade? It has been a long time since I...

    .50 or .54 for elk?

    Just a side question for the Forum, but do any states not allow conicals for elk? I hear more and more states are making hunters use more primative guns and sights.

    What's in you possibles bag?

    I noticed that nobody who responded mentioned anything for wetpatching. Should I carry something like Clenzoil? Also, how much powder will you carry in the field?

    Experience with Jedediah Star Trading Company.

    I am looking to buy some shooting accessories and came accross Jedediah Star. The prices seem reasonable and he has a fair amount of inventory. Just curious if anyone has had any experience (good/bad) dealing with them. Thanks.

    Favorite Muzzleloader movies

    In the begining of JJ, the narator talks about JJ getting a .30 cal Hawken, "but damn, it was a Hawken." I am kind of new at this, but I did not believe that Hawken ever made a .30 cal gun.

    Original Hawken guns?

    Saw the kits offered by the Hawken Shop, but besides the two guns in the advertisement, there are no pictures of their finished products. They look impressive but I wonder how many they have actually made and shipped. Anybody have one? By the way, they talk about buying the equipment to make...

    Original Hawken guns?

    Ok, this is a real beginner question: how many original Hawken guns exist and are any actually carried in the field. What it cost to buy an actual Hawken?

    Just gettin started

    This looks like a great place to get a lot of questions answered. I am about to purchase my first ML and plan to get a Lyman GPH or GPR, but can not decide to go with the faster twist for conicals or slower for RB. I will use the gun almost exclusivly for hunting whitetail deer in Michigan and...
