    Trying to find correct frizzen & spring for a 40 year old Pedersoli Kentucky .32 rifle

    I have a 40 year old Pedersoli Kentucky rifle (made in 1984) in .32 and eventually it will need the frizzen rehardened but I always like to have spare parts on hand, so I ordered a replacement frizzen and frizzen spring, neither of which look remotely what is on the gun now. The replacement...

    Getting ready to shoot a matchlock as a newbie

    I know this is an older post. I picked up a Veteran Arms British matchlock a year or so back. I found it to be a very fine shooting gun with the exception of the weight which makes me only wonder about the men who had to carry these things, not so much in Europe, but here in America since they...

    Muskrat & other fur belt & possibles bags

    I recently acquired a whole, small muskrat pelt recently and was thinking of making it either into a belt bag or possibles bag. I've seen some used by reenactors, either otter, or the one I saw recently a raccoon. Has anyone else out there made one before.

    Traditions Kentucky Rifle, really not a bad gun

    The Spanish made guns that Traditions sells, which are pretty much the same guns CVA used to sell, really aren't as bad as their reputation sometimes makes them out to be. Granted they're not very close historically to the originals but they're alot of fun to shoot. I bought this .50 Traditions...

    Some hunting & possibles bags and pouches

    I used to think making leather bags were hard, but not as hard as I thought or some others made it out to be. I will say this, if I can make these, anyone can. I've made a few historical bags, but the rest are just ones I wanted to make for me or how I wanted them to look. I think this was the...

    Some antler powder measures

    One of the things I found I like to make is powder measures, I've done a few now from antler and bone. I've sold a few, traded for a few and kept a few. They're a good rainy day project when nothing else is going on. A bone powder measure that came from the femur of a small whitetail doe that I...

    Made a Lyman pouch

    I used to say that until I finally started doing it myself and then I realized that it isn't as hard as I thought. I started small with a couple of shot pouches and a wallet, then on to bags. Now I've made a whole bunch of stuff, and I wish I had started years ago. I know one thing, if I can do...

    Too small balls

    I guess the first question I would ask is where did you get the balls you're using from? Did they come new in the box or from somewhere else? Unless new and you know for sure then they should be suspect.

    tick treatment

    Something I started a couple years back, first on my dog and then on me. Go to the local pharmacy and get a bottle of peppermint oil. Take that, add 20 drops of it to about 8 ounces of water in a spray bottle, shake it up and spray it on. It works better than anything else I've ever used on...

    Pedersoli Kentucky Rifle when did they have double set triggers?

    Last winter I picked up an older Pedersoli Kentucky rifle in .32, according to the markings on it, the gun was made in 1984. One thing about it, it has double set triggers. I know the new Pedersoli Kentucky rifles only have a single trigger, so when were they offered on these and why did they stop?

    Pedersoli owners, speak up

    I have an older Pedersoli Kentucky rifle, and while mine is a flintlock, they do make them in percussion and my is very accurate out to 50 yards. Last week I took a 3 x 5 index card out and smacked it a few times with that gun using a .311" roundball, 20 grains of 3F Scheutzen and a .010" patch...
