    Suggestions for bag flap closure?

    Yeah I was going to suggest a weight, and if the antler piece isn't heavy enough for you OR your isn't large enough to have the needed weight, drill out the center and pour in a little lead to up the weight. (Good lookin' photo too) LD

    Euroarms Remington info needed

    Nah it isn't really a "zombie" thread until at least a year old... I have an Armi-San Marco version and mine has a dovetailed front sight post, so I got lucky. It isn't unusual for folks to re-do the front sight post when it's the sort that does not allow drifting of its position for...

    New from North Carolina.

    I would've told you to flee, but it's too late, as you were a victim of "the bug" in the 1990's, just as I was in the 1970's. Greetings from Maryland Dements Battery Maryland Light Artillery, AoNV, CSA AND now 1st New Jersey Loyalists GOD SAVE THE KING LD

    HOW TO MAKE A Corncob Pipe

    Well not a bent stem Churchwarden, but a long stem. Tired of snapping the stem on your pipe. Want something durable and inexpensive? Corncob pipes are only documented to the 19th century due to artwork, and perhaps some journals, but the materials were available in the 18th and 17th century...

    The Colt Open Top Hammer Sight

    I've always wondered if WE aren't applying our method of using a sight and expectations instead of how THEY used them when talking Cap-n-Ball revolvers? For example, at most handgun fight distances which are at 10 feet or less, would you be taking the time to "aim" using the sights, OR would...

    Hey everyone/unsure about some small cannons I got from my step father. Any help?

    Do they shoot at all or are they "desk adornments" ?? LD

    Flintlock Shooting as Olympic Event

    Biathlon has rifle shooting on skis, in the Winter Games. Modern Pentathlon had pistol shooting in the Summer Games along with fencing, horse riding/jumping, cross country obstacle run, and swimming, until they replaced the handgun with a LAZER pointer built to look like a handgun, and lost the...

    Swiss 1863 infanteriegewehr

    Yeah, finding the buyer with deep enough pockets is always a chore with rare stuff. Tell them they can investigate it to their hearts content, as soon as they buy it. LD

    I.D. of unusual double rifle

    So that is GORGEOUS Maybe it's the photo perspective, but are you sure it's a .32 caliber? The muzzle openings look much larger than a .32 cal. Now if it's marked just "32" or "32 bore" then it's around a .52 caliber rifle. That's a commonly found marking quandary found on originals. Have...

    Rehardening frizzens - one size fits all? Musings for metallurgy masterminds....

    In my case I position the frizzen on top of the charcoal in my DIY forge and do the same thing with the Kasenit, for I too stocked up on the stuff, and I only use it on frizzens. I follow the same procedure for about the same amount of time, for the same reason. The lads don't complain and the...

    Is this Moroccan flintlock pistol authentic?

    🤣 I'm not that certain. It's one of the best "wall hangers" that I've seen if it's just a wall hanger 🤔 Note the "wedding bands" where the barrel transitions from octagon to round. Note the grooves on the face of the frizzen Note the fit of the sideplate opposite the lock, and the fact...

    Pucking Die Source

    We don't discuss making black powder on this forum per the rules. While your question is just about finding a die to puck the mixed product, unfortunately too many of the lads will take this thread as somehow permission to start discussion of DIY BP. I'd suggest you view Everything Black...

    You can also consider immersing a toasted oak spiral into the beverage to simulate it being shipped over a long distance over many days and sloshing about in the ked. Toasted Oak Spiral for aging LD
