    That’s a great piece.

    Game Bag

    Talk to @hawkeye hugo He made a couple of game bags for me and I really like them. He made the size I asked to fit my existing hunting pouch.

    What is your procedure……

    I was reluctant to use flintlocks as well. I have found them to be very reliable however. If I’m going hunting for large game I always install a fresh, sharp flint. If I’m after squirrels I’m less worried about how new the flint is. If I’m at a match or plinking I’ll just shoot until I have an...

    WITHDRAWN 54 caliber flintlock Jaeger

    Beautiful rifle. I have a rifle with some engraving by Mike as well. He does good work. Good luck with the sale.

    What is it that pulls us into muzzle loading!

    This is no small thing. When I was in high school I bought a Tennessee mountain rifle kit from Dixie gun works. I knew NOTHING about muzzleloaders (or building them). I knew even less about shooting them - just what I read in magazines. I think I may have had the Sam Fadala book. Anyway, I...

    How do you like your horns?

    I like both. I have simple horns for my plains style rifles. I have more ornate horns for my jaeger and carved/engraved rifles.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I made my first paper cartridges for my Ruger Old Army today. It’s a bit tedious and there is a learning curve, but I got better at the end. They sure seem fragile.

    The ideal smoothbore hunting bag??

    This bag served me well last season. Honestly the bag got what I needed to the field. Once in the field/duck blind I usually put things in different pockets instead of in the bag. I have my flask and measure on one side, shot snake on the other. Wads in a pocket, capper in the outside pocket of...

    What is it that pulls us into muzzle loading!

    I have an unmentionable with a muffler on the barrel. With it I can hit small things far away. But it’s cold and sterile - simply a device with a purpose. On the other hand I love my muzzleloaders because they are beautiful. I love the warmth of real wood and rust blued/browned steel. They...

    Any tips to make a muzzleloader “sure-fire”

    I can’t remember my last misfire or slow fire. Before loading make sure the barrel and breach area are free of any oil. I drop powder down the barrel and rap the side of the gun a couple of times to settle the powder. Then load as usual. If flintlock (assuming you’re going hunting) install a...

    CLOSED Lyman Great Plains Percussion Rifle, .50

    Good luck with the sale. I have one just like this. It is as accurate as any of my handmade rifles.

    Cylinder Loading Tool

    I was wondering how many folks find one of these contraptions useful:

    Cylinder Loading Tool

    I have a kit on the way for making paper cartridges. I had a replica 1860 Army many years ago. I just picked up a Ruger Old Army. I'm not planning on shooting competitively, just plinking out in the country. I'll give the paper cartridges a try and go from there. The great thing about this forum...

    Cylinder Loading Tool

    How many of y'all use a cylinder loading tool for your revolvers? Are they worth the extra investment?

    Here's my new to me Ruger Old Army. I'm ready for all manner of imaginary trouble on the trail... The knife is by @Runewolf1973

    Only one gun allowed!

    I'm with you on this one. That would be a great choice where I'm located.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    If you want to have some fun, go dig through some really old threads. I've been looking at threads in the Handguns forum about Ruger Old Army revolvers. You'll read, "I just picked up a ROA new in the box for $275. Did I make a good deal?" Someone else said they bought theirs new in 197X for...
