    SOLD Like NEW Ultra Hi .69 Cal Flintlock Pistol

    The question is does it spark? I bought one of those a few years ago listed as unfired excellent condition. The reason it was unfired is that the lock needs lots of work to make it fire

    Real black powder

    It is not your only solution. Do what I do, that is to buy "the Holy Black" when I am on vacation in free America. Due to shipping, storage and other general NY BS you cannot buy black powder here in NY so I simply buy it when visiting my son in MO. Very easy to walk into most any gun store...

    Rogers rangers musket photos please?

    Just thought that I would stir the pot. If long land pattern musket were prevalent and they found a few pieces of barrel in the 4" to 6" length on the island, would that be the equivalent of turning a long land into a short land? Just considering....

    Civil war guns from garage sale

    Imagine the story that the lot could tell. As it was found in GA I wonder if they were stashed away as people fled the advancing Union Army to avoid detection if stopped by troops??????

    Question about Loyalist Arms and Repairs

    In my opinion the biggest detraction of an Indian made musket (and I own a Loyalist imported Fusil) is the teakwood / rosewood stocks. It is not the best wood to use, often hard to stain, subject to splitting and heavy. I have a Japanese Brown Bess, a Belgium / Stoeger arms 1777 and Loyalist...

    Oldest photograph of a dog.

    The gun the photo must have been state of the art at the time of the photo as 1842 would be early in the use of percussion caps.

    Oldest photograph of a dog.

    This is the current love of my life. Just a little lap lab at 85 lbs loves to sit on my lap. I love a dog that can look out the kitchen window to see who is in the driveway. We have never had a dog this good. We can leave food on the counter and she won't touch it. Last pair of labs once...

    Patch material

    I tend to buy my cotton at Walmart. look for striped pillow ticking or unbleached muslin. Always check the label to ensure that it says 100% cotton. When looking for linen I go to JoAnn fabric. There isn't one in my town so only go occasionally. Do check for the coupon.

    What gun do you save?

    Unfortunately fire resistant safes are pretty much a joke especially depending on where you live. Really only help in a very small fire that is quickly put out by yourself or a paid fire company that covers your house. Read the labels, good for 30 minutes etc. Around here too many people are...

    You REALLY want to ship to California??

    CA is just like NY. State laws are dictated by the legislators from the big cities and not by the people in general. Most people in the city have a very skewed view of firearms as the associate them with the thugs that run the streets. NY continues to run afoul of the Constitution with its...

    What gun do you save?

    Your game your rules....my TC Hawken that I have owned nearly 50 years. Reality, if the fire isn't too bad, the gun cabinets are going out the window after the powder magazine. If the fire is bad already, I'm taking the wife and dog down the road because when she blows she is going to blow.

    Muzzleloading after Cataract Surgery

    Currently three weeks post surgery in the right eye and two weeks post in the left eye. Went with single focus lenses for distance as I couldn't afford / justify the $1400 for each eye for the deluxe lenses. Prior to surgery I could barely make out the channel guide on the TV across the room...

    I bought the best caps ever made.

    My local gun shop had a few tins of Remington's last fall. They were marked $24.95. I haven't been there in a bit to see if they sold or not but I expect that they did.

    Rendezvous/camp

    I will honk when I drive by in June on my way to Holts Summit (just north of Jeff City). Drive by several times per year when we travel the 1100 miles from my door to my son's door. Wish I would be visiting later this month but the storms keep us from traveling in the spring. Drove through the...
