    20 vs. 12 gauge for hunting

    I like 16 gauge too but I should have said in my original post that the reason for asking specifically about 12 vs 20 is because I am trying to choose between two kits, one is available only in 20, the other in 12.

    20 vs. 12 gauge for hunting

    Is it true that the 12 bore will throw a wider pattern than the 20 if using the same load?

    20 vs. 12 gauge for hunting

    I have hunted deer for many years with flintlock rifles but never got into blackpowder for small game and bird hunting. I aim to change that and start hunting with a fowler. Since I will still plan to use rifle for big game, shooting round ball will not be the primary objective although for...

    Sounds like maple it will be. Any advice on the appropriate stain/finish?

    What wood for Chambers PA Fowler stock?

    What are your thoughts on walnut vs. cherry vs. maple for Chambers' PA Fowler stock? Is one particularly more PC for this type of gun? I always associate walnut with English and New England style fowlers, curly maple for rifles. Don't know what to think about cherry...

    What Finish is use the most on Stocks?

    I use Laurel Mountain Forge Sealer and a product called Wahkon Bay Tru-Coat. Two or three coats of the LMF sealer, carded down to bare wood with steel wool after each coat, then about three hand rubbed coats of the Tru-Coat. Provides the durability of a modern polyurethane with the look and...

    Anyone know what happened to flehto? I haven't been on here in while, but it seems as though all his posts are gone, and my saved PM conversations I had with him are also gone...

    Transferring image design onto metal surface

    Thanks for the replies. While searching the internet for Tom White's Transfer Magic, I came across a DIY solution using Bullseye shellac thinned with denatured alcohol. I printed my practice image on the inside of a sheet of clear laminating plastic with an inkjet printer. Then I used the...

    Transferring image design onto metal surface

    Anyone have any good ways to transfer a design on paper onto a metal surface for engraving? I’ve tried the acetone method but to no avail; the printers I have access to must not use the right kind of ink. The surface I am trying to transfer to is cold rolled sheet metal for practice, but...

    Tool for metal inlay & relief engraving

    Great photos. What tool would have been used to remove the steel for those inlaid crosses on the barrel?

    Tool for metal inlay & relief engraving

    Any idea what the proper name is for that? I’ve only ever seen various square gravers and onglettes for the usual incised scroll work and shading.

    Tool for metal inlay & relief engraving

    Hi, what hand tool(s) is used for removing metal such as for an inlay, or in paring relief engraving? By hand tool I mean from the days of hammer and chisel engraving.

    Track's Fowler Kits

    Does anyone have any experience with or thoughts about Tack of the Wolf's two English/American fowler kits? Most notably, one of them is available with a hooked breach. That is definitely convenient for field stripping and cleaning, but is it PC for guns found throughout the colonies in the...

    Hunting from a tree saddle with a flintlock LR

    You know, I've never considered trying to reload my frontstuffer from any tree stand. After shooting a deer, I always wait a while, then climb down from the stand, reload, then go after the deer. I've also considered how the powder in the pan would hold up in the tree saddle. Perhaps no worse...

    Hunting from a tree saddle with a flintlock LR

    Good replies but a little off topic here. Tree Saddles have been around for a couple of decades or more but never really became mainstream. There are now a couple of manufactures trying to change that, but bottom line is a tree saddle presents an alternative way to hunt from an elevated...

    Hunting from a tree saddle with a flintlock LR

    Has anyone ever hunted from a tree saddle with a flintlock longrifle? I have found my tree saddle to be perfect for hunting with archery or modern rifles, but I am wondering how it might work out with the extra length of the LR and the additional accoutrements that go with flintlock ignition...

    Molybdenum disulfide

    I am willing to bet that even the most die-hard and disciplined PC folks among us are using modern automobiles to drive to where ever it is they exercise this hobby. At the end of the day's hunt, climb back in the truck, turn on the heat, and drive home. Then, there probably weren't a whole...

    Using one powder

    Not a bad idea to check with your bbl manufacturer. For example I have a Rice .50 bbl and Rice says to only use FFg with it.
