    Half ****

    Crisco, Thanks for your input,however the trigger on this rifle is a European Single set.It is cocked by pushing the trigger forwards and is adjustable. If the hammer is pushed back the 1st 1/2 **** is still there as a safety.

    Set trigger arrangment on the Roer or Cape Dutch musket

    Rudyard, I've had the barrel out several times and never found any marks or numbers. No armoury stamps.. Now I've decided to clean it up a bit. Do nothing drastic. Can't tell anything about the inside of tube.It's solid rust in rings down the length. I suspect the boulster is brazed to the tube...

    Keeping Muzzleloading Alive

    Hi Tom, How our Deer Laws got into this current state is a mistory to Most BP shooters. As you say ,a .45" RB or EVEN a 480grn .451" will drop 'em in their slots.(paw prints) and an unmentionable 500/450 didn't do a bad job. One wonders how the Victorians and Edwardians manages to put deer in...
