    Precusion Caps Making A Comeback.

    Gotcha sir. Private response to another contributor. Sorry

    Precusion Caps Making A Comeback.

    I voted correctly for our purposes in every election including this one. I only regret the votes I cast for GW Bush because he didn't deserve them, but it kept Gore out anyway. Okay. I'll come clean. I tried to put together a "think tank" of older patriotic Americans on my other forum. By...

    Precusion Caps Making A Comeback.

    Borders, language, culture. Any progress made on our most troublesome border, the southern one is lost. We are busily changing from one national language to two--check the aisle signs in your grocery store. Next to go is the culture. Clearer?

    Precusion Caps Making A Comeback.

    We are off topic, so in short. Our culture is coming unglued, all of our ills are a direct result of that. IMO Michael Savage predicted it.

    Eusebio Arizaga 28ga

    I bought a separate barrel for one of these back when Dixie carried them. The bolster was oddly threaded and had a funky rear sight machined/cast in. I re-breeched mine, the plan was to make a small flintlock single barrel out of it. I still have it. Old Turner Kirkland, he carried a lot of...

    Shot in the bears eyes

    This little .45 Peacemaker hand cannon of mine is a stomper. Five hollow pointed rounds out of this baby, more if a reload can be arranged, and that bear might still get me but he'll be leaking from some pretty big holes in his hide.

    Precusion Caps Making A Comeback.

    I have too many interests. I could stock ahead for some, but I couldn't stock ahead for everything because I didn't own a warehouse, and I wasn't born a trust child. As it stands I was in good stead except for caps. Now I could use a lot of #10 for the revolvers, that is about it. My obscure...

    alternate material for flint in flintock

    I remember when I was just a tad, my father fitting up a store bought handle to his double bitted axe. He took an empty coke bottle, put it in a paper lunch sack, then dropped the works on the cement patio. Then he just picked through and chose various shapes and sizes of the glass to remove...

    Precusion Caps Making A Comeback.

    Sadly, me too. I seek only to keep enough components on hand to continue my life uninterrupted. I completely ignore the powers that be, because I do not know, nor can I find any effective way to combat them. Americans are following this new path like a blind ox to slaughter IMO.

    Precusion Caps Making A Comeback.

    I celebrated the inauguration of our new political leader by purchasing 75 lbs. pure KN03, to be followed by pure S, and airfloat Willow charcoal. All for the farm, by the way, none of these fertilizers and plant foods are regulated. I am developing a sudden driving interest in rock polishers...

    Smoothbore "Rifles"

    My mentor is now mid-eighties, and lives a few miles down the road. He is still the last word on Kentucky rifles and such. According to what he told me 40 or more years ago, a great many of the plain Kentuckies were originally built as smooth bores for the harvest of small game with cast...

    Checking out of this thread. You lost me.

    Belgian Brown Bess repair

    I need to be tackling the rest of my kit. In these times of such UPL (unsurpassed political lunacy) in America it would be nice to put together a parade group of Minutemen to march in the Independence Day parades. When I was a tad in my hometown some fellow was riding on one of the floats in...

    Bless you sir, only funning. I love military history, I don't care whose. Thing is you got a musket, and I can't wait to hear how it works out.

    Egads man! I am all Scot, 3/4 Iceland descended. Pure American both sides as far back as 1800 at least. I live on the wrong end of the states to participate in any AWI events, but I'll be serving under the Honorable Geo Washington if ever I do. Origins seem to be concentrating on Anne...

    Ok, what is the best shot/shots you have seen or accomplished?

    Back in the verrry late 1970's I had just purchased my Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle. I was still getting acquainted with it, there was a dozen idiosyncrasies that I was just beginning to figure out. A coworker invited me out to a black-tailed Jackrabbit hunt in the Owyhees, so I took the...

    Shot in the bears eyes

    Precisely my take. They wished to harvest the bear. They were loaded with shot which they promptly emptied into him, loaded a ball or two and got him for keeps. They took a gamblers chance of losing him wounded or putting him on the fight though. Black bears are seldom aggressive, but when...

    Excellent. Perhaps he will accept or advance a counter offer. We are ever nearer to getting you properly equipped. Which army will you and your musket be joining : ). Coach Harness was an early importer then. Were they located in Britian?

    Shot in the bears eyes

    You accomplished ML Forum members are a scrappy bunch, I'll give you that. Same reason I gave up the BP clubs some years ago. Homedale ID Gun Club runs a small range in Owyhee County. Other than Hwy 95 there is not a man made object in sight for a full 360 degree pan. That is my next stop...
