    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I finished my Traditions Trapper pistol last week (Friday), so I took it to the range today. I had taken my Traditions Frontier rifle a week ago for the first time, and it shot every time I pulled the trigger. So, I was pretty optimistic about the pistol today. I also took the rifle and shot...

    Thinking about buying my first flintlock.

    I'm very new to muzzleloading, so take this for what it's worth. I've wanted a flintlock since I first shot one 45 years ago. I recently completed building a Traditions Frontier rifle. When I took it to the range, I was anticipating troubles. Why? Probably because sometimes I can be a bit of a...

    How Do You Fill a Horn?

    I don't have a horn, but I just got one of these for my flask: Got it from Amazon ( AmazonSmile : TDC Flask Filling Funnel : Sports & Outdoors), and it works great. Also, made here in the U.S.A.

    My new Traditions Frontier rifle

    I bought the kit almost 5 years ago to have a retirement project (I was about 10 months away from retiring). It's been almost 4 years now since I retired, and I finally finished the kit about a month ago, and just now got it to the range. What a blast (pun not intended) to shoot. I'm sorry it...

    What was your first Muzzleloader?

    About 45 years ago, I shot my first muzzleloader. It was a friend's flintlock pistol. I said that one day, I would have to get one of my own. Well, about five years ago, I bought a Traditions Frontier flintlock for a retirement project (I was about 10 months away from retirement). Well, last...

    Traditions is the "Harbor Freight Tools" of Muzzleloading?

    I was going to reply the same. You beat me to it.

    Scammers and Payment

    Many people avoid Paypal (understandable for firearm-related transactions). But there is this: GunTab. I have not used it yet, so I can't personally vouch for it. But, I have read some good reviews.

    Brass Shine

    I'm just not a fan of bright, shiny brass. I'm not saying it's wrong (or right), I just like some sort of patina to it. I used some Birchwood Casey Brass Black on my brass and like the way it looks.

    Birchwood Casey or Laurel Mountain Forge

    Thanks everyone for your opinions and advice. I'm pretty sure I'll be using LMF for the barrel. Will play it by ear on the rest of the parts. There was some good advice here, and I really appreciate it.

    Birchwood Casey or Laurel Mountain Forge

    I apologize if this is a duplicate, but I didn't find it in a search (maybe I should try harder), but I'm trying to figure out which of these products to use to brown my barrel. I live in central Florida, so we have high humidity (90% not uncommon) which would probably work with LMF (from what...

    New guy from Florida

    It's a Traditions Frontier Flintlock. I think I'm going to try Laurel Mountain Barrel Brown and Degreaser to brown the barrel. I'll be checking in on the other forums for advice and updates.

    New guy from Florida

    I have always wanted to build a flintlock rifle. I just found a good deal at Midway, and the kit should be here Monday. Too bad I'm still a year away from retirement. It would be a great retirement project. Don't think I'll wait that long, though. Hope to start the build soon. Hopefully, I'll...
