    Is the Recently-Discovered Beckwourth Rifle the One Jim Is Holding in His Portrait?

    Don't forget that back then, the photographers carried props with them and posed the subjects how they thought wold make the best picture. The knives and rifle in the Beckwourth photos might not be what he personally owned, but what were supplied by the photographer.

    2 Questions - Does cleaning patch size matter? - When do you need to re-blue your barrel?

    Cotton flannel from Joanne's? My wife keeps me in flannel when she wears out her nighties! 😁

    LOOKING FOR BUFFALO TONGUE RECIPES.

    I just would boil it in salted water, like a beef tongue. Check with Joy of Cooking for times. Off the top of my bald head, I think 1/2 hour per pound is about right. Sliced in a sandwich with condiments of your choice, life doesn't get much better than that!

    Great Plains rifle twist

    Is this a .54? I have used 250 grain REAL bullets with good results in a .50 rifle, 1:60 twist. Compare the length of the conical with a round ball. If standing them side by side the conical is noticeably longer than the RB it probably won't stabilize as well. That 250 grain REAL was about the...

    L&R RPL locks for T/C

    Or a .50, it should have enough meat on it.

    T/C Hawken Flintlock

    Something else to think about. The T-C has a patent breech, i.e. there is a powder chamber in the breech plug. It is smaller in diameter than the bore of the barrel. When you clean the gun you need to use a smaller brush (I use one for a .357) to get down into that powder chamber. If you...

    Weak sparking old Dixie lock

    He's getting good spark after narrowing the frizzen spring, sounds like he's good to go!

    T/C Penn Hunter Carbine bore obstruction

    The vent on the T-C goes into the breech plug, not the barrel. If you are seeing something intruding into the barrel itself you need to run your ramrod down the bore to the obstruction, hold your fingers at the muzzle , pull the RR out and lay it beside the barrel, still with your fingers at...

    Front Sight Help

    I put white fingernail polish on mine and it works well. I'll have to look for yellow and try that!

    Traditions Locks

    I recently acquired a Traditions Shenandoah rifle. I haven't shot it yet, but the spark is very generous. My go-to rifle is a CVA Mountain Rifle with a Colerain barrel. CVA was made in Spain from the same company that now makes the Traditions. I eventually took the lock apart and polished...

    The Classifieds and Covid.

    Considering the scammers out there, if the price is better than normal I would be very leery unless it's a known business. Even then it pays to be wary since the website may be fake. Try to pay with a credit card since that gives you some leverage to get your money back....

    MUZZLE CONING TOOL

    Both the .45 and .50 flintlocks have been coned now. Starting the balls is nice and easy, no short starter needed. And accuracy is right where it was before. Thank you, Joe! ~WH~
