    Blunderbuss pistol

    I stand in awe of you! Inetting the barrel tedious but straight forward. Shaping the stock just take your time. But shaping the pommel and inletting the butt cap I wouldn't know where to begin. Look forward to seeing your project when it is completed.

    Best place to buy leather?

    I have purchased from Distant Drums and Seymourssi through ebay with good results. Distant Drums previously was located in Upstate NY but fled to Florida. They are good people. Distant Drums runs a lot of craft grade hides on their ebay marketplace for reasonable prices. They will combine...

    New from NY

    Welcome from southern Otsego County / the western edge of the Catskills. Geographically New York is a beautiful state with many large state parks and lots of forests. I'd say wilderness but these days it hard to find somewhere in the state where you can walk for a mile on a road and not come...

    Military Heritage India-made Fusil de Chasse

    I have a Loyalist Arms Fusil de Chasse and it works. The steel is fine, the lock works well, maybe not the fastest but works. The issue with the India made guns in my opinion comes with the wood. They use what they call Rosewood which most of us know as Teak. It works but is not a very good...

    wasting powder & caps

    for my cap and ball revolver, I wrap cigarette paper around a 3/8" dowel and glue the side and one end after folding it over the end of the dowel. Fill these at home with my charge of black powder and twist the end closed. To load, I take the twisted end and break it on the edge of the...

    To the older guys…

    None of us has a guarantee on tomorrow! All should be prepared every day. I have lost too many friends and siblings of friends over the years. Learned that early on when a close friend died suddenly at the age of 14. Lost several classmates the summer we graduated from high school due to...

    To the older guys…

    I made my wife get her pistol permit 40+ years ago just to avoid that situation. While I haven't cross registered my collection it will be a simple thing to happen should I pass. Back in 2017 I had some major health issues that required surgery that took over 8 hours. Before hand I made a...

    A Question About Selling a Handgun

    I think you will find that it was his view, maybe that of his transfer office but not necessarily the law. I am guessing that he had lawfully put it on his pistol permit here in NY. It was a few years back, but since the original SAFE Act, my son was gifted an old S&W unmentionable by his...

    Making a Powder Horn (Part 1)

    Thank you for posting this! I have hopeful plans that during the next two years I will complete two Kibler rifles either the Woodsrunner or Colonial as gifts for my grandsons in honor of the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. To go with them I hope to do powder horns and so...

    $1,000 budget (set on stone): What should I recommend?

    I admit that I have sped read this again today so I may have missed something. What style percussion gun is he shooting currently? Is it a factory gun or a custom build? Which Kibler is he seeing you shooting? How quickly is he hoping to make the transition? Is it because of the shortage of...

    Did I overpay for this Colt Signature Series?

    You now have a bigger question looming.....if it truly is un-fired, do you keep it as such and just admire it, or do you shoot it and enjoy it? Need to get thinking on this before it arrives.

    Copper in a New Army 44?

    I would say that your best bet would be to use tin (Sn) or a alloy of such. A few years ago I hit every flea market, garage sale etc around and bought dented unwanted pewter items. Pewter is an alloy consisting mostly of tin. Antique tin did contain lead but they stopped adding that to it over...

    Welcome from Oneonta about 50 miles north of you. Just want to make sure that you know about the NYS Muzzleloaders Association which is headquartered at the Oxford Rod and Gun club. Not too far away.

    No, you can't ship black powder pistols or handguns via the USPS.

    Aside from the issue of actually needing to ship a black powder handgun lets look at the real issue here.....the current POTUS and his stooges are doing there very best to restrict our rights as defined by the Constitution. Look at all the other changes he has made that are in the news and then...
