    My First Flintlock

    I would reccomended any of the Pedersoli rifles ,I believe they are available as kits and though imports they are safe and quality and very good looking,the Lyman GPR in a flint kit is also safe reliable though I think Pedersoli's look better,they are also imports,look into Dixie Gun works...

    That's my problem with firearms in general and probably why I have few high dollar rifles or antiques;if I own them they have to shoot and work and work for me,if,I came into possession of an original Hawken,Walker Colt,no matter what it is I have to shoot it and hunt with it ,no matter how...

    pedersoli flintlock

    Stray thought

    Was buying some flints this morning and a thought occurred to me,I alway's assumed that cut agate was a recent answer to supplying flints the reasoning was they were made by machines so they could be made faster. Is this true? I have no idea so can anyone answer this,is this a modern...

    Newby has lingo question

    I ,like a few others,found a purse at a yard sale well made and a spitting image of a "Scottish shooting bag". In Dixie GW .so I figured I would remove the zippers and make a shooting bag out of it ,then my wife mentioned it at work,What a ruckus!I lost the bag,It seems it was a "Coach"bag and...

    Light and short rifles

    I agree with you completely ,there is actually two reasons I figure to hold better groups,as you said the site radius is longer and the slower twist which stabilizes a patched ball better,I prefer a patched ball ,it's just the the way most of the hunters and woodsman did likely ,weren't a lot of...

    Light and short rifles

    I 've used my Renegade in .54 for many years for many deer and sight in at 100 yds avg. 4-5" groups,I hunt in N.Y.State and my terrain is same asPa.However I believe I could do better groups with a longer barrel and slower twist so I added a Lyman to my armory( GPR)it'sgot1-66"twist so I expect...

    Congratulations on entering this world once you check in however,you can never check out,3f should be good and you could buy some priming powder but a lot of guys just use the same grade,I have a small wood mortar and pestle and grind up a pinch or 2 at a time until I have enough for a few weeks...

    Can you use bar stock Ferroceum

    I merely told the gentleman how he would have to modify a flintlock to use this material and explained it was not my realm of expertise as I am mostly into traditonal designs,I also gave him an idea on how to follow up on that idea,It would definitely be more mechanically sensible to use it in a...

    ??? flint vs percussion

    I have T/C Renegade in .54 and .50 they've proved they're rugged reliability over 30 years of use and they are strong and safe- not pipe bombs and my Pedersoli is also not a pipe bomb,I did not think the T/C's were cheap either when I bought them.BUT,when I bought them I knew they were safe...

    Can you use bar stock Ferroceum

    Years ago, I saw a wheelock in a magazine , that would use this.It was a homemade non traditonal action ,quite well made however.It was similar to a large zippo wheel and probably worked very well.It. Was probably when I was young in the late 60's that I saw it.For our purposes,say in a...

    Mistake made with flintlock

    How about,never give a gun to someone who knows nothing about guns?At least the injured party can claim ignorance(for very little satisfaction there) unfortunately his buddy is probably liable or is it a lesson for him?

    Ramming Ball Without Powder

    I don't know about the sonic boom thing- maybe it is or maybe it ain't -I don't know, it would be an interesting theory for a scientist or for "MythBuster's" to prove,but, It has been known among reloaders , muzzleloader enthusiast's and above ALL, gunsmith's , that air space between the charge...
