    Historical military style rifled muskets poll

    Brett wrote a book on gun powder in which he discusses the gun powder manufactured in this period. IIRC, he describes how the powder made then was better than what we get today. He makes it himself as well. Thank you for the very informative post, Dave951. We don't have anything like the...

    gun safes and cap and ball stories...

    It's much worse than that. Google Whitney Webb. A friend who works in AI research says her take is a little hyperbolic but she's right. The question is, with all this data why don't they stop the crime?

    Historical military style rifled muskets poll

    Brett Gibbons is an inspiration. His books (papercartridges.com) sent me on a search for a historically accurate Enfield P53, a British made Parker-Hale to be exact. If anyone has one for sale, please let me know;). Alternatively, I'm interested in a Lorenz. According to Brett the Pedersoli...

    Historical military style rifled muskets poll

    From the results of the poll we might conclude that there is definitely a market for historical and accurate firearms in this category. As someone pointed out above, the world wide market is different from here in the US, but at least on this forum it looks like people want to get the most...

    CLOSED Richland Arms ASM 1st Model Dragoon

    I have done business with Jappo. It was an easy and pleasant transaction. He is great to communicate with, ships very promptly, and packs the piece very well.

    Historical military style rifled muskets poll

    @Notchy Bob That was just something I came up to explain why, for example, Pedersoli's Enfield P53 doesn't incorporate the original ignition and rifling design. From what I can tell from "Cap and Ball's" description of Pedersoli's Lorenz musket rifle they made an accurate replica there. I'm...

    Historical military style rifled muskets poll

    This poll is designed to examine the market for historical military rifled muskets. It appears that some manufacturers are making guns with the primary purpose of shooting blanks. Is that the largest section of the market, at least here?

    My first Enfield or military style long Gun

    That's an education. The only thing I can add is, nice shop there @New Hampshire. (Good to see you support the manly footwear industry.)

    Napolean movie reviews?

    The same guy who made "Blade Runner", "Alien", "Black Hawk Down", and "Gladiator" made this film? The uniforms are worth the slog through this strangely gratuitous film. That's the best I can say. There's nothing historically accurate about the battles, or most of the other "action", but the...

    Shipping a Ruger old army to Washington state?

    The state government in WA excels at passing unnecessary, ineffectual gun control laws while ignoring the root causes of crime, but you can still purchase a BP muzzleloader without having to go through an FFL. A few months ago I received a BP ML from a forum member on the other side of the...

    PNW muzzleloading gunsmiths

    That's great. Bill is a wealth of knowledge and extremely generous with it. Good luck with the grouse and turkeys.

    Newbie from..."gulp"...Seattle area... :/

    There is a mental health crisis in our state, but the governor hasn't done anything about anything in the twelve years he's been in office. He is quick to point out that "somebody ought to do something" though. The homeless are everywhere. You won't be able to completely avoid them. I live...

    PNW muzzleloading gunsmiths

    There's a gunsmith at Marksman in Puyallup. It's one of the best "unmentionable" shops in our region so they might be able to help. I'd take to Bill at Muzzleloader Supply on River Road in Puyallup first, though. I was in there yesterday to buy some percussion caps. He has some very nice BP...

    Newbie from..."gulp"...Seattle area... :/

    Welcome, friend. Forty years of really awful governors have ruined our state government, but it's still a great place to live. I have lived here most of my life and watched it go from beautiful to a haven for very privileged Tesla drivers. I avoid Seattle. If you haven't already discovered...

    BUYER BEWARE - Mntnhntr is a SCAMMER

    This makes me so made I have to rant. My experience buying from people on this forum have been extremely positive, and I prefer it to, say, the eBay of firearms. With the closing of most mom and pop stores it's difficult to find those rare items nerds like me are interested in without using the...

    More fun with Pritchett cartridges

    Does anyone swage their own .550 bullets? Brett swages his own, but he is on deployment. I'm considering buying the equipment to swage bullets for my own use. Any advice someone who has gone down this path can give would be very much appreciated.

    SOLD Euroarms Enfield Musketoon

    Nice rifle. Great price. If I hadn't just bought one I would nab this. BTW, you don't want to use a patch with a minie ball, just lube.
