    Elephant Powder

    With price of powder and lack of availability, I would be inclined to use it. Those date codes are from the later, improved Elephant BP, so should be the black, shiny grains as opposed to the earlier dull grey stuff. 10-15gr of a better brand of fffg under the Elephant will give better...

    An American Percussion Long Rifle That Has Been In My Family for Many Generations Possibly by John Hinds

    To my eye its a post 1840 gun, possibly W Va, Ohio, or? It definitely is NOT an 18th century New England rifle.

    Dixie gun works poor boy

    I had a .50 flint Dixie TMR back around 1980 and foolishly sold it a few years later. About 20 years ago I found a new one in a local shop, and bought it. I still have it, and have done my best offhand work with it. Yes, its muzzle heavy, but that is the magic that makes it work so well for...

    SOLD Thompson Center 50cal Firestorm flintlock

    The Firestorm has a conical shaped breechplug to allow the use of Pyrodex pellets, so not a "patent breech" type. The pellet is supposed to straddle the cone so as to be better positioned for ignition.

    Advice needed for stock chip

    There is a reason why so many original guns had toe plates as that is an area apt to break out from even a minor bump on the toe. I would inlet a short toe plate and interlock it with the buttplate.

    Photos of Pennsylvania long-rifle

    It appears to have been overly cleaned, and aggressively at that, so the old varnish and patina is long gone.

    Photos of Pennsylvania long-rifle

    Its a fowler, not a longrifle. The fowler guard in addition to lack of cheek piece and patchbox defines it. I think I'm seeing a rounded toe which is also a fowler feature vs a flat toe that would be seen on a rifle or "smooth rifle". The engraved buttplate and trigger guard in additon to...
