    NMLRA members

    Interesting but wondering why NMLRA is almost unheard of on the west coast. Personally My wife and I belong to 4 BP clubs. Go to about 8/10 Rhondys a year. Even at the PPR regional with at least 800 shooters every year there’s absolutely no mention of NMLRA. All the clubs we belong to are...

    For anyone considering an Indian manufactured Flintlock

    In purchasing an Indian made gun you take your chances. Some are good, some are OK and many are bad. There’s absolutely no return or liability protection because they are sold as not meant to be shot. It’s completely buyers beware. Doc,

    Loading a Fowler vs Rifle

    For myself and others top tradeguners that I know of we all use a patched round ball. As for cleaning between shots much depends on the humidity in your area the greater humidity the more you will have to run a cleaning patch. In my area of low humidity we can easily shoot 30 rounds without...

    Questions for the guys that can "shoot all day" without swabbing

    I believe humidity has a lot to do with swabing between shots. Since I live in a very low humidity area I rarely if ever swab between shots. For the last 35+ years for my 50 I have been using a .490 ball 65gr. of 3f Goex and a pre-cut .015 patch I use and very many others out here use water...

    Flintlock jaw pad - lead

    Have used both lead and leather. Can’t really tell the difference between the two. However in my flint wallet my flint is pre wrapped in lead and compressed a little. When changing the lead wrapped flint is easier and faster to change than leather would be. Doc,

    I made a noobie mistake on cleaning rod -- Range rod for PA long gun

    About 35 years ago six of us were shooting the Pit River Rhondy when Rod broke his wooden ram rod and put it through the middle of his hand. Back then there was only fiberglass rods as a alternative which we went to. Some years later we changed to Delrin. We put a 8-32 and a 10-32 on each end...

    Carrying pre lubed patches

    Found this to be an easy way to carry patches and easily pick out one at a time, The chew plastic keeps them moist for months. Doc,

    Hazmat fees are CRAZY!

    My BP club just received a mixed case of Schutzen 2 3 and 4f from Traveler’s Antuics and Trading in Tx.. Delivered to California within two weeks and average price after Hazmat and shipping was under $23. Considering the price of gas etc. $23 seems pretty cheap. Doc,

    what is a good all-around nipple wrench

    YES there are different sizes the Cash and the TC wrenches are very good . But yet there are square wrenches needed for such as the early Barretta shotguns. Nothing seems to be standard. Doc,

    WANTED Is anyone here selling a few decent English flints for a Traditions Hawken?

    For my flints, I will always purchase them at Rhondy. Every year I always go to the same trader and ask to see ALL of his hundreds of flints in my sizes. I’ll go through them and pick out only the ones I want. Always try to keep a two or three year supply on hand. This way I know I’m getting...

    Non-Toxic Roundballs?

    Perhaps a bad choice of words, but what we’re fighting is politics Doc,

    Non-Toxic Roundballs?

    OldMaineWoods and Mustang65 It’s called politics in 2020 we came out on the short end. Now we’re paying for it. Science doesn’t mean much when politicians are in play. But we can live with it instead of sniveling and bitching like little girls. Let’s work and win in 2022 and 2024. Doc,

    Non-Toxic Roundballs?

    No problem with non-toxic shot . Go to Roto Metals and purchase Bismuth shot in any size, it’s what I have to do for my Damascus doubles. For round balls purchase Bismuth ingots they mold as easy as lead. A bit more expensive than lead, but compared to your gun, license, gas, etc. it’s cheap. Doc,

    Non-Toxic Roundballs?

    What is detrimental is determined by politicians not science. Unfortunately we have to live with that or risk punishment. It’s truly that simple. Doc,

    Non-Toxic Roundballs?

    Since I live in Ca. I do have experience with Bismuth. Does it cost a bit more than lead? YES it does. But really not that much more. After considering the cost of the gun, license, gas, etc. I found Bismuth readily available from Roto Metals and other suppliers. Since all of my hunting is done...
