    Davy Crockett King Frontier

    I forgot about that cup. I am sure I had one. It probably got broken many years ago.

    Davy Crockett King Frontier

    I was born in 1953. I enjoyed watching Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone when it all was original. I had a Davy Crockett hat and shirt, along with a Paris flintlock rifle and a plastic powder horn. A few years later I became a member of the Daniel Boone Trail Blazers Club. I think I still have my...

    Strap bag vs belt bag?

    I carry a possibles bag on my left shoulder. Inside it I have everything needed to shoot the rifle. Mostly patches, wiping patches, round balls, and percussion caps. On my belt, at my back, is a shooting pouch. Inside the pouch I carry everything that might be needed to handle a misfunction...

    When did small caliber rifles become a thing and why?

    logical would be a better term.

    .45 Investarm Half Stock

    Not just WWII. --- My dad was a veteran of the Korean War. Many times, the Americans were overrun by Chinese and North Korean forces. Dad told me in one battle there were 2,000 enemy soldiers against 160 Americans. The Americans ran out of ammunition and had to fight hand to hand. Dad told me...

    How old are ya?

    So, you figured out what girls were, and then you learned what they REALLY are and came back to muzzleloading.

    How heavy is too heavy?

    I guess the optimal weight for any shooter would vary greatly. If it feels right for you go with it. If it feels too heavy do what you can to lighten it, sell it, or use it as a bench gun.

    Consider this - If you went back in time and tried to use your current knowledge on those in the past you could be burned as a witch.

    Pedersoli Brown Bess ?’s

    I agree with you 100%. The other guy is some type of "know it all" jerk. Like you, I also have studied history. During the French & Indian War the British government did supply the colonist with Brown Bess muskets. Some of Rogers' Rangers used a cut down Brown Bess, creating a carbine. I...

    SOLD - Pending funds Hudson Bay white with red/pink stripe.

    On a cold night you would be very glad to have a Hudson Bay Blanket to wrap yourself in. The color would mean nothing. I have a HBB and a HB Capote, there is nothing like it for warmth.

    Sales of Firearms and Ammo at Flea Market

    That is outrageous. It is like suing the bag boy who bagged your groceries because the meat was tainted. Any sane judge would dismiss such a case. We all know the liberal judges and liberal attorneys will jump on the chance to sue somebody.

    Sales of Firearms and Ammo at Flea Market

    Yes. Biden issued the order. He wants to destroy all guns and gun owners. He wants any civilian gun sale to go thru a dealer. I worked in a gun store. Both seller and buyer have to appear in the gun store. The dealer has to run a background check on the purchaser. If they pass the deal can go...

    Hello from Illinois

    Take your damaged pieces to a competent gunsmith. They might be able to work a miracle. I have seen it done before.

    Whats your favorite muzzleloader you own?

    I have owned Thompson Center, F.I.E., Traditions, Pedersoli and a couple of other brands of muzzleloaders. My favorite one is the Pedersoli, Missouri River, Hawken, 45 caliber, percussion rifle that is hanging on a gun rack over my desk. I have shot some matches with it, and I have always scored...

    My wife says I have issues ...

    Like today, many times that a gun is used for self-defense the incident never gets reported. Sometimes, when the criminal element learns that their prey is armed that is the end of the confrontation.

    Thoughts when buying a gun

    I wish you luck. My first wife and I were married in 1978. I thought I could trust her and that we had a good thing going. We fell onto some hard times in 2002. I ended up working for a gold mining company and spent some time in Central America. When I returned, I moved to Florida from Ohio. She...

    What is it that pulls us into muzzle loading!

    It is the historical concept that drew me to black powder. When I was about 7 years old, I saw a fellow shooting an original muzzleloader. I was intrigued. I knew what the gun was (I had seen both movies and tv shows about Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone). But I knew very little about them at...
