    2F In A Flintlock Smoothbore

    I don't use FFFFg for priming, I prime with whatever my main charge is (whether it be FFFg or FFg). There isn't really a noticeable delay as opposed to FFFFg. Priming with Pyrodex is not advisable because of it's much higher flash point compared to real black powder. That's why pyrodex is mostly...

    Where do you draw the line?

    My thoughts exactly! Couldn't have said it better myself.

    Beautiful browning and finish! And I thought my browning was good!

    Flint size

    In my Traditions Mountain Rifle I use a 5/8" x 3/4" flint. I think my rifle and your pistol use the same small Traditions lock so that may work. If 5/8" x 3/4" doesn't work, maybe try a 5/8" x 5/8" inch square flint. You can find both sizes pretty easily on TOW.

    Cool Little Hopkins and Allen “The Offhand” Underhammer.

    Yeah, for $350 bucks we got caps, the gun and 400 cast balls! This will be a GREAT shooter!

    Cool Little Hopkins and Allen “The Offhand” Underhammer.

    Today me and my dad bought a nice little underhammer from one of the guys who is in our muzzleloading club (shoutout to Mike at the White Smoke Brigade!). It’s .44 cal and we cast probably 400 balls for it and we got some caps. Can’t wait to shoot it!

    An American Percussion Long Rifle That Has Been In My Family for Many Generations Possibly by John Hinds

    What an heirloom! Take good care of it, and pass it down!

    Thoughts on Patch Boxes - or lack thereof - on the Kentucky Rifle in its Golden Age (and Colonial Age)

    Function wise, I find the patch box to be kinda useless. I don't store anything in it because I'm usually shooting at a range with my range box, and even if I were to go on a woods walk, I would just use a shooting bag to store what I need. Looks wise, I think they can be quite pretty on a gun...

    Carrying Case - Soft

    I just roll up this nice big blanket to carry my Mountain Rifle. It works pretty well and it doubles as a rest if need be.

    Where do you draw the line?

    Depends on the situation. At historical events like a rendezvous, no, I personally would not like something sticking out like a fiber optic sight or inline. At club shoots however, it's different. I don't mind little things like a fiber optic or maybe even a scope at club shoots, but of course I...

    Investarms Gemmer Hawken Kit

    I used Tru-oil on my recent build. Tru-oil is very good, it's pretty easy to use and it looks great. It gives a good feel to the gun and it doesn't take forever to dry. I also would recommend a nice wax to put on it just to make everything look really nice. Here is my results of Tru-oil plus wax.

    Need info to function 45 cal cva Kentucky

    Welcome from Hutto, Texas! I'm pretty green myself, and I'm constantly learning. The guys on these forums know a whole bunch about black powder. Just a word of advice, when you start shooting black powder, you'll find yourself leaving the modern guns at home 😉.

    First Muzzleloading Kit Build Thread

    Yeah, I've talked with them and they recommended keeping it inside for a couple days in order to control the moisture a little better. Seems to be working!

    First Muzzleloading Kit Build Thread

    Good news everyone! After a couple days, the cracks have mostly all gone away, and the tolerances have gone flush and back to normal. I think this is because we let it dry out and the wood's moisture content has lowered. Even the huge crack on the bottom has decreased significantly! I’m very...

    A Nice Morning Walk

    Not to start anything, but I think it's a little uncalled for to be so pessimistic about a fun little story about fox hunting. One time I shot a dove, and it started to dip like it was going to fall to the ground but then it magically flew off! Animals are unpredictable LOL! And even if it is...

    How Long Have You Been Hunting ...

    Haven't hunted deer before, but I've slapped my fair share of dove and duck. I would like to do some muzzleloading hunting one of these days.
