    Mail broken parts by UPS

    Antique replica parts. The one time I shipped a muzzleloader I shipped it UPS and was told as long as it was listed as a replica it was good to go. It shipped, traveled, and was received with no issues.

    Olde thyme photos

    I thought I had wandered into the "camp cooking" section and was expecting old pictures of an herb garden 😐 🤔

    @Capt. Jas. aka James Rogers of https://jamesrogerscreations.weebly.com/ who is on this forum had a string hand in creating this kit. I'm sure he can help. There is at least one orher topic thread in this subject here which he has chimed in on, maybe even check out his website which I linked...

    Vintage tool for working leather?

    Something for "carding" fiber? If a leather tool, which does also seem possible, I'm betting @Capt. Jas. can tell us what it is.

    Who can jug choke a smoothbore barrel?

    Doing research is a good idea,,,,, the "search function" works good for that. In one of the other topics asking this same question there is contact info for a gentleman in Massachusetts who can do the work.

    Chokes or no Chokes for Turkey Hunting

    If this isn't the dumbest,,, way too often repeated argument,,, against historical accuracy ,, I'm not sure what is. So sick of hearing/reading it I want to puke. It's just ignorant and myopic. Are the people who work at Colonial Williamsburg and other historic sites fired if they take a car...

    Chokes or no Chokes for Turkey Hunting

    I don't see it as historically correct for most of the muzzleloading period either. I guess the argument could be made that choke was at least becoming available at a time while original muzzleloaders were still in use. Plastic anything, much less wads/shotcups didn't come about until well into...

    Skychief question

    No, not really forum compliant. Unless the barrel is chrome lined, or otherwise rated for steel shot, you will need special shot cups to protect the barrel. And, if the barrel has a constriction choke you may have issues there too if the constriction is too tight.

    1f for 12ga

    This is nonsense... It's one of those old myths or bits of lore that has been around since muzzleloading made a resurgence in the 1970s. I can't find any evidence it is older than that, nor can I figure out where it came from. Lots of people here use finer powder in larger bores,,, most with...

    Historical load?

    Pretty good basic outline. Put it in an envelope and take it to the post office, mail it to yourself,,, but do not open it, when it arrives. Then sit down at your computer with a word processor and get to work adding some meat to that outline. Put me on the list to pre-order the book you create...

    Skychief question

    I've read of folks using corn muffin mix to good effect,,, with regular shot loads. Somehow better than just straight up corn meal or corn flower... If you are "still interested," maybe post a separate question on buffered shot loads here in the smoothbore section? Always good to see a new topic...

    Skychief question

    Yeah, the original Skychief had the thin card over the shot, before the oiled cushion wad too... I tried it without, the results were interesting. The pattern was more even than my regular load of powder, thin card, lubed wading (felt or tow), shot, two thin cards,,,, but wasn't as dense as the...
