    PNW muzzleloading gunsmiths

    Thank you. I performed the “ring” test recently and both barrels ring like a bell. However, taking a look inside with a light, the interiors are not mirrored and clean, but dingy/rusty with pitting in several places. I’m not trained enough to know whether this is ok or not…would rather an...

    PNW muzzleloading gunsmiths

    Hi guys, Just wondering if anybody knows of qualified luthiers or gunsmiths who are reputable and knowledgeable working with Damascus barrels specifically in this region? I live 30 miles outside of Seattle and have a blackpowder shotgun with twist barrels that I need to have inspected…I don’t...

    They sure did…along with banjo player Larry McNeely. Glen and Jerry were pretty good friends and went all over the place together…touring the world playing music. They were on the Tom Jones show several times and played all over Europe!

    Oh man…I knew we had our Aussie and Kiwi brothers in Vietnam, but wasn’t aware you all were alongside us in Korea. Thanks for having the guts to go over there!

    I appreciate the shout out and welcome good buddy…but man…I can’t get on board with Primus…not my bag. I remember listening to their version of Amos Moses over 20 years ago and not being crazy about it….although I was pleased that they were interested enough in Jerry to cover it. We’re all...

    Here’s a photo of the Kodiak with the old shotgun I recently bought. Man…that Kodiak is 5 times heavier than the other…which is an attribute I really don’t care for. Looks like the same size bore….but one is smooth…and one is rifled.

    Thank you Dusty. I performed the ring test to-day and both barrels ring “like a bell.” Unfortunately…I did a bit closer looking deep inside the bores, and upon my untrained visual inspection…it appears that there is a substantial amount of rust and pitting. Man…I was sure hoping that this...

    Thank you. I’m also with the BN…who is your sweetie’s brother? That .72 is fun…but I’m all about practical these days, and I really don’t have much use for it. I’m sad to report that it doesn’t get much use.

    Thanks for the welcome buddy! Steam left the US I believe around ‘59 or ‘60…I think the N&W was the last major freight railroad to use it. So…you were Australian army in the 60’s..? Did you serve in Vietnam? Dow

    Thanks very much Dave, I kind of figured as much. Most of the Richards I have recently viewed were very ornate, and this one is rather plain compared. Also, mine appears to be a laminated twist steel barrel construction, which to my understanding was an easier and less expensive way to make...

    Well Son! Much obliged for the warm welcome gen’min! I will always be a Texan…although I may not sound or look like much of one anymore…but when it comes down to it…I still think like one! Probably the biggest and only mistake I’ve ever made in life was staying up here and not going back to...

    Greetings, My name is Dow and I recently joined to find out a little bit more about this shotgun. I bought it out of the blue at a show, as I wasn't looking for one, but have always wanted a muzzleloading shotgun...and couldn't pass on it. When purchasing, I knew nothing about it, only that...

    Hello gents, My name is Dow...I am 40, work for the railroad, and live about 30 miles southeast of Seattle, although I am NOT originally from this state. I was born and raised in Texas, but got out of the military up here and got a good job many moons ago...I have a home, a family...and now I'm...
