    Caucasian Miquelet "Cossack" Pistol & Locks

    For what? Not much help as the description is quite poor. What does the auction state in the description in Ricks post # 191 above...maybe there is a better description...especially if they want to get a good auction price! It certainly seems the same piece. Cyten pulled a miracle...

    Ottoman Guns

    Agreed. Note: Only a personal opinion....The Ottoman empire was one of the largest and most long-lasting empires in world history. An Islamic-run superpower which ruled huge areas of the Middle East, Eastern Europe and North Africa for more than 600 years through fratricide, the devshirme...

    Mink Oil

    25% Dawn to water and only a damp patch. It's too diluted to figure a cost...maybe 3 cents a quart? it is always available at the kitchen sink. Smells good. Does the job as good as or better than M/O if that even matters. You can always wash burnt powder residue off your hands with it. Have...

    17th Century Austrian Flintlock with Ottoman Barrel

    I don't believe that the excellent engraver engraved that picture; it would demean his work...looks like it is a pencil drawing anyway? Or perhaps one of the kings kiddos trying to make fun?

    17th Century Austrian Flintlock with Ottoman Barrel

    Ho! Perhaps the milk man.....or maybe a lie detector or DNA test to remove any doubt?

    Ottoman Guns

    Rick you can also tell by the wear at the muzzle from the steel ramrod that this gun was well used; however, its owner kept it in very good condition...must have been a personally owned piece....pride of ownership!

    Touch-Hole angle Question:

    Should muzzle-loader touch-hole be drilled straight into the bore or angled slightly...I have read but do not remember where...thoughts were back in the day to slightly angle toward the muzzle so that loading powder will enter the touch hole....but that seems counter to clearing powder from the...
