  1. Relic shooter

    New to me: Le Page Reproduction

    Many original European rifles & pistols I've owned used this shallow style of microgroove rifling & provide excellent accuracy when fitted with proper patched round ball & powder charge. Measure the bore; If you don't have calipers slug the bore dropping a short 3" long piece of brass rod down...

    Looking for a long range rod.

    Best long gun range rod is a steel military surplus .50 cal. cleaning rod with a 'T' swivel handle. Tresco sells a tapered sliding brass collar that fits these rods to protect the muzzles from wear. These rods have 10-32 threads that will accept any caliber 'cupped' end cleaning jags also...

    FOR SALE Original Mountain Man / Frontier Pistol

    Anything is possible but I believe with close examination of the conversion I think you would also agree it started life as a flintlock. Due to the flint era style hardware I believe the flintlock was replaced with the percussion. Another conversion indication is the percussion bolster...

    FOR SALE Original Mountain Man / Frontier Pistol

    Own a genuine piece of American history at replica price of $475.00. Nice example of a .58 cal. flintlock era styled pistol converted to percussion with 11" smooth barrel & ornate brass hardware. When the conversion was made a new quality percussion lock was installed along with a snail-styled...

    Wall piece or valuable

    Your photos indicate this shotgun was originally sold as a standard consumer grade gun & the nipples appear to have been replaced. One photo shows a deep depression on top of the right barrel near the breach that could pose a safety issue. The bores also need to be evaluated by a qualified...

    Kibler Colonial first one

    Your rifle shines Yellowhammer !!! Great rear sight placement choice :thumb: Many shooters don't realize that locating the rear sight further forward provides a much sharper sight & target image.

    Building a British Pattern 1800 Rifle (Baker)

    Dave you've done a superb job describing the build of this beauty ! Back in the 80's I was fortunate to acquire a nice orig. Baker with an excellent bore & loved the way it handled, much like my favored Jaegers. Thanks for sharing your journey :horseback:

    Perhaps of interest, some matchlocks & period accessories

    Thanks for sharing your neat acquisition !! One way you can rule out the notches being used for sighting is to determine if the bore is in alignment with the exterior. Probably not a good idea to disassemble the rifle & remove the breech plug so run a long close fitting rod down the bore to...

    Thanks Marplot, thought I would add some history on this time-capsule rifle. Be interesting to see if it shoots as tight of groups as your orig. .70 cal Danish Jaeger 🤣 I became acquainted with Louie Poole & Lenhart back in the 70s & 80s in my 20s as fellow trader, builder & competitor at...

    W.G. RAWBONE, CAPE TOWN (Rifle/Fowler)

    Very attractive & quality made rifle, nice find !! If after checking the condition of the stock for cracks, bore, breech area & lock for any safety issues I would replace the nipple & shoot the rifle. Being that it's setup with a rear sight & bead type front sight, it must have been intended to...

    NEW Mountain Man Series !

    A few days ago I stumbled upon a pretty good series called INTO THE WILD FRONTIER on the TUBI channel & might be on other networks as well. Series is free to watch & must say so far the stories, narations, firearms & dress are pretty authentic other than their gear doesn't show the dirt & wear...

    'Bone Hardening' your ramrod

    Back when I was active builder many of us soaked our inventory of hickory ramrods in a capped PVC pipe filled with diesel for a few months to make them more flexible & less likely to break.
