    Carrying a pistol

    I do try to carry often and think everyone should. I got paid to do it 30 years, but I am lazy. I have a very small easy to carry unmentionable but in the summer I do it less.

    New peep sight.

    I could not tell any difference.

    New peep sight.

    It was done on a mill by a cousin.

    New peep sight.

    Of course, but I explained my reasoning in the initial post.
  5. Kmcmichael

    New peep sight.

    Yes it can. I assumed someone would comment, so I explained in this initial post.

    New peep sight.

    I installed a peep sight on my Woodsrunner. I have not shot it yet. I was unable to see the rear sight or rather which rear sight to use. I installed a new front sight but may have to get something taller. I know it is backwards but I will go with the lowest position at this time. I have used...

    I FINALLY shot my Woodsrunner for the first time!

    Been there. I also had to get a new sight for my Woodsrunner as it was low. It in .54 with .018 patch, mink oil and 100 grains of FF Swiss is the most consistently accurate of my 3 flintlocks. Don’t take anyone’s advice on the perfect load. Your barrel will decide for you. It took several days...

    Hello from Texas!

    I live in north Irving. I shoot my flintlocks at the Dallas Pistol Club. I am usually free on weekdays.

    Hawken Rifles, What's All The Hoopla?!

    this is old thread. My eyes have gotten worse. I am going to peep sights.I no longer have a place to shoot long range so I have lost interest in a fast twist for conicals. It would have been fun to shoot longer ranges with one. A vernier sight would have been more practical but with younger...

    For those that have extensively studied these guns, what gauge is thought of as the most popular? I have read that the 16 was favored by many but as always the common fellow might have preferred something smaller.

    Kibler Fowler available.

    I built a walnut kit for a cousin once. I believe that particular stock would have been incapable of coming near a chisel without suffering an unwanted removal of a splinter. That particular piece of wood was likely a reject from some landscape project. I did know an Englishman once that...

    I totally agree, but I have a bunch of rifles. And if I did not, I would use buckshot. My question, why would the pressure be different with a round ball as opposed to a shot load of the same weight? Friction? Another question, the .54 Woodsrunner carries great balancing perfectly in the hand...

    Beautiful country.

    ? Yes I understand this. Yet if one shoots the same payload why the pressure worries. I would likely never shoot a round ball. Nevermind the 20. I would feel just as safe with the round ball as I would the same weight shot charge.

    I don’t see a huge difference in shooting an ounce of shot or a 16ga 437 grain ball, pressure wise.
