    1838 Pomeroy Type III

    I wonder if the barrel has been cut about an inch. The muzzle seems a little uneven. Measure from the join line of the tang/barrel to the muzzle. It needs to be exactly 42". The OAL should be 57 & 11/16". There may be two reasons for the ramrod's position. One would be "trash" in the ramrod...

    Good morning from a newbie

    Welcome to the Forum. I will start a "conversation" with you and send you the details on your Model 1816 flintlock musket, built by Lemuel Pomeroy, a Springfield Armory contractor, in 1838. It was likely converted to percussion in the1850's. Keep a lookout for it. This one of the advantages...

    Hello everyone from Fuquay Varina, North Carolina.

    Welcome to the Forum, Paul. Good to "see" you again. I'll be at the Raleigh Show this weekend with a bunch of black powder guns. Hope to see you there.

    How many Senica barrels?

    The Seneca was available in .32, .36, and .45. The .45 and the .36 rifles usually bring about 500-550. A .32 caliber Seneca can sell between 600 & 900, due to the scarcity. On Gunbroker a couple years ago, a like-new T/C .32 Seneca Rifle with the box and and literature, closed at about a...

    The Ruger New/ Old Army

    Speaking of the Ruger "Old Navy" .36 caliber, there are likely fewer than a dozen out there. The only shooting discipline that you would see it in is NMLRA Line Matches, (paper targets #B-8T@ 25 yds & B-6T@ 50 yds), and predominately at the national matches. The revolver on the right was built...

    Hello from the Blue Ridge of North Carolina

    Welcome to the Forum! If you're not a fur piece from Asheville, Rob's club in that vicinity is a great place to join in on the shootin'. They shoot twice a month, I believe. Start a "Conversation" (PM) with Rob and he can fill you in on the particulars, and get you on the mailing list.

    Welcome to "Muzzleloading University". I can probably help you a little if you let me know where in SC you're located near. There are three active muzzleloading clubs in the state.

    Welcome from a former Wisconsin resident, and formerly "assigned" to the 2nd Wisconsin in the N-SSA out of Madison & West Bend back in 1962 to 1966. The 6th was a formidable unit back then with Lance Herdegen and the Corrigan brothers. Again, welcome!

    New member,

    Welcome to the Forum. You've come to the right site. Ask the folks over on the "Flintlock Rifles" thread for current sources. I remember the Rifle Shoppe out west offered the parts to build the Baker Rifle.

    Totally new to all of this

    Aleksrgill, The first thing to find out is whether something is in the barrel. Might be a load. Or just the ball, which does happen as my friends here will admit. I suggest NOT removing the barrel from the stock. Bring it to a club shoot and let a gunmaker who does this for a living or a hobby...

    Bought a decoration, turns out it’s a real percussion rifle! Tips?

    Aleksrgill, I started a conversation with you (PM) and can recommend two muzzle loading clubs each within an hour's drive of y'all. Feel free to bring it to either club, the Lafayette Long Rifles near Duncan or the Yadkin Valley Longrifles near Union Grove. The Yadkin bunch have a match this...

    Help in Identifying Flintlock Rifle

    JohnL, I would advise against taking the barrel off to check the underside for maker's mark, IF you haven't done it before. You'll need 1/16" pin punch and small plastic mallet and proper radius bit screwdriver with correct bit to fit the tang screw exactly. Since you're in "coastal GA", I'd...

    Help in Identifying Flintlock Rifle

    Usually, an unsigned contemporary muzzleloader is one built by a black powder hobby enthusiast for himself. Contemporary gunmakers in the business will either engrave or stamp their name or initials on the barrel's top flat between the breech and the rear sight. Occasionally, it will appear on...

    New Guy In NC

    Welcome to "Muzzleloading University" from the Fort Bragg area. I'll send you a "PM", which we call around here "starting a conversation". There's a muzzleloading club NE of you and one south of you in SC. Remember, there are no stupid questions, just once in a while some answers not well...

    I recall a thread about Paypal use.......update on that.

    I suggest having Zonie post this regarding PayPal, and the link on "PayPal Policy" as a "sticky" at the top of each of the sections of the "Muzzleloading Classifieds" as a warning to those who have been advertising PayPal's use as payment.

    Returning member, new to GA

    Welcome back to the Forum. The Brushy Creek Muzzle Loading Gun Club in Lenox puts on the largest muzzleloading match and rendezvous in the Southeastern United States. Last year, nearly a hundred competitors from NC, SC, GA, FL, & AL, spent five days shooting and "stretching the truth". They...
