    Well, I’m a Maynard Owner Now!

    Wow, that is beautiful! Is it an original or a modern replica? Do I remember correctly they use thier own dedicated reusable cartridges?

    Casting Lead balls for the first time _ advice Needed...

    Remember "back in the day".....campfire bullet molding was most frequently done only by necessity, and in small quantities....frequently remelting the bullets that were dug out of kills. Small quantitiies of lead /small "pots", required much less heat. Big chunks...big heat. Nothing fun, really...

    Hi from East Africa

    How is the BP supply? I was lucky enough to hunt SA a couple years ago, and loved it. We would love to get back there (we also were hunting in the Grahamstown area) but it is unlikely. Certainly I can see quite a bit of plains game as being doable with a ML, but boy are your critters tough...

    Kibler Fowler Update

    Initially I wasnt too interested, but I have to say after watching the video, he has grabbed my attention. I can certainly relate to the fowler more as a "fun gun" for wood walks/ small game hunting.

    No jokes?

    Making a hunting sword from a machete

    Cool project.... Am I mistaken in thinking most "beater" machetes are quite soft steel?

    Just bought my first flintlock. What do I need to take it out shooting, and what do I need to know to have a safe and enjoyable time.

    Flints are like primers....never enough.....I am sure you will be able to find out what size you need here for your specific rifle. Track of the Wolf is a reliable source, or even just check online (ebay or amazon) for a few. As was mentioned, chipped and not cut are best.

    When Do You Use Your Vent Pick?

    After every reload before I prime. Seems like to only after a flash in the pan is kind of like closing the barn door after the horse got out. My vent pick is attached to my priming horn, so it is in the same motion, almost.

    WANTED All the lead seems to have disappeared :(

    Good ol Justin.44 lead prices, shipped, are way better than anything I can find locally, and it is good soft lead that doesnt need cleaning.

    Fiber optic front bead and rear blank for a Lyman GPR

    Yep, installed one last fall. Far superior for sighting than a fiber optic. I use the thinnest squared post for optimal sight picture. Or you might try a high patridge style target front sight. Optic sights tend to "glow", and the rounded top do not make for the best fine six oclock hold. They...

    Why only one?

    You can hunt mongoose in Hawaii? Book me! ( but is there a ML season? :)

    Why only one?

    Originally in NY, ML was considered a primitive season...like bow, single shot. Having a 2nd arm takes away from that notion, in my opinion. Besides that, in practicality, I have never found a situation after my first shot where a 2nd (pistol or rifle) shot would have been any more practical...

    time machine

    the many small marker stones in old cemeteries are of unnamed children, and many, many more were buried in back lots, stillborn.

    time machine

    I didnt read through all the previous....but folks forget the horribly high birth mortality rate (for both the infant and mother), not to mention childhood death rate, the huge number of folks who died early from diabetes, heart conditions, pulmonary issues, mumps, measles, etc. Death by...

    New .58 caliber Hawken type Rifle

    Very nice, but it looks like the builder got up on the...wrong side of the bed!

    Round ball and blood trails

    Most of my round balls flatten out quickly and do not exit....54 or .50 cal, max. 35 yards or so. Most run a short distance (heart shot/ double lung) and collapse. I disregard the comments in the original post about retrieval dog use, etc. Obviously those are poor hits to start with, indicating...

    Kibler Pennsylvania Rifles

    1300 is a great deal. If both of you are happy, that is all that matters. In my opinion his time into it isnt a factor unless the builder thinks it is. ..in my opinion, only a consideration on my end for his time builiding is if the builder is a professional builder.

    T/C Renegade sight help

    I also have a .50 renegade. It is designed as a hunting rifle, and the sights reflect that....I hated them. I replaced the front sight with a high patridge style, and put a Lyman aperture on the back...I hate the round front sights. Much more difficult to hold a fine bead with. I prefer 60...
