    Is Getz Barrel Co. Still In Business?

    I replied to your questions and in order to make yourself appear important, you have ignored my responses. Ignored for acting like a pompous know it all

    Ignored for being rude.

    Is Getz Barrel Co. Still In Business?

    Jiminy crickets. People! If you think you are picking low hanging fruit in the thread and trying to spike the ball, think again. Read the prior comments before opening mouth and inserting foot. I stated my interest when I reopened this thread days ago. I have an —>existing <—-...

    Is Getz Barrel Co. Still In Business?

    That’s a good suggestion. Maybe a “while you wait” service call. I’ll ask him

    Now THIS answers my question! Thank you

    Is Getz Barrel Co. Still In Business?

    I guess I’m easily fooled, because when a business advertises its wares and services, I tend to believe they mean it. Maybe Getz had a booth at the 18th Century Artisans Show just for old times’ sake and to show his support. But he didn’t communicate anything about being unable to deliver his...

    Is Getz Barrel Co. Still In Business?

    So you are saying John Getz is incapable of either making a barrel or touching one up? To me these are different acts. I infer nothing, assume nothing.

    Is Getz Barrel Co. Still In Business?

    I have one of his dad’s last barrels that I want swamped more. Probably shave six ounces off. No other barrel maker has time to work on it. I drive right past Getz’s shop all the time and I wonder if he’d be up to a little milling off an existing barrel. While I wait

    Is Getz Barrel Co. Still In Business?

    For about fifteen years Colerain has made me every barrel design I have asked for. Quick turnaround. They’ve made them with variations on land width and groove depth, tang length, gain twist or traditional or whatever turn rate I want, different contours than are offered in their catalogue, and...

    Is Getz Barrel Co. Still In Business?

    That’s what I had thought for a bunch of years, and when someone told me that Getz Barrels was at the show just weeks ago, it got my attention

    Is Getz Barrel Co. Still In Business?

    Someone told me he saw Getz Barrels at the 18th Century Artisans Show in Carlisle a few weeks ago. But I’m not seeing anything on the internet indicating they are fully back in business. Anyone know better?

    Food for thought on smaller calibers for hunting big game.

    There are passionate hunters who don’t have a lot of time afield or access to great hunting habitat. There are hunters and landowners seeking a reduction of over abundant deer by any means necessary, but who choose to use or allow legal hunting tools instead of a semiauto and a spotlight. Those...

    Food for thought on smaller calibers for hunting big game.

    Right on! Forsyth advocates the round ball for all hunting, because it will always be in contact with the rifling, and he also makes a big distinction between a military arm and a hunting weapon. His second edition is from 1867, when breech loading pinfires had debuted, and he still preferred...

    New York late muzzleloader

    Thanks for your help, men. I’ll hit the Upstate New York ground running this year.

    62cal hawken

    I hunt with a .62 percussion rifle, and I like it so much I’m having a .62 flintlock rifle made just for our (Pennsylvania) late season that is flint only. The percussion has a 34” barrel, but I think you can easily get full performance from a 30” barrel. The planned flintlock has a 28” barrel...

    Flat horn with brass spout

    sure appreciate your encouragement, Jim. I am going to need it

    Flat horn with brass spout

    The horn needs heat, or it will fracture and crack. The pressing comes after it is heated.
