    Indinan Trade Gun Nosecap

    I was trying not to be the one that converted this thread into a 16 page (+/-) discussion on the distinctions between 'trade'' 'Indian trade' and 'North West trade' as I had just learned from the previous post that there were such distinctions. :ghostly: I am still new to this forum, and have...

    Indinan Trade Gun Nosecap

    My Bad. I had seen the Pedersoli Trade Gun on Dixie's website while browsing. Did not realize there was a Trade Gun vs Indian Trade Gun distinction.

    Indinan Trade Gun Nosecap

    The factory built Pedersoli Trade gun comes with a brass nose cap. I would assume the kit comes with one as well? Your build, your choice.

    Which state is the best for ML?

    Wolves get a bad rap. Livestock Farmers have been pushing for an open hunting season on wolves in the UP and truth be told would probably like to see them hunted to extinction. The 25 mile stretch of M28 between Munising and Seney (probably the most boring and tedious piece of roadway in the...

    Which state is the best for ML?

    Michigan does have some big whitetail deer, but the monsters are usually harvested in the lower portion of the Lower Peninsula where the majority of the bigger farms are to be found. There is plenty of State land and if you check the DNR website they will also list the private lands that have...

    Powder Manufacturers Comparisons?

    Powderinc.com was a few dollars less than Maine Powder house when I placed an order earlier this year. Haven't looked at Powder Inc recently to see what they have in stock right now. I know Pauline at Maine Powder House recently received a stock order and has been filling back orders. Swiss...

    Brett Gibbon's 'Like Fire and powder' is a good read if interested in such things.

    Muzzleloading Myths

    I think you have the process reversed in your mind. The granulation process is such that the smaller grains and dust falls out first. Regarding another 'myth' - The lower case 'g' refers to powder which has been glazed (polished) and does not indicate powder which has been mixed with...

    More road trip

    I see in your other thread that you plan on going to the U.P. of Michigan. Most of what you will find there will be focused more on Lumber and Mining as opposed to the Fur Trade Era. If that type of history interests you as well, you might want to consider visiting Fayette - site of a...

    Making paper cartridges

    BAM! Now I have the perfect reason to convince SWMBO that I should be allowed to expand into smoothbore muskets! "Hey Honey, can I have all of your books after you are finished reading them?"

    Let's Talk About Real Pine Tree Turpentine and BLO.

    unless a short dry time and no development of a nice red patina to your wood as it ages is your goal, you might want to consider using raw linseed oil as opposed to BLO.. But then you would also need to verify that the Raw Linseed oil is not 'refined' - meaning that the fatty acids have been...

    Grains by weight or volume???

    "Grain" as a unit of measurement was originally nominally based upon the mass of a single ideal seed of a cereal. If one had a vessel that would be filled with 100 grains of said seed, the vessel would be designated as a 100 grain measure. Scientifically, the unit of 'grain' is determined to...
