    Flint and pheasant.

    I do indeed pray the candle never extinguishes! I hate to ramble, but I will share a story. Many years ago, as a young man, I had the opportunity to live with and train with German soldiers near Heidelberg. When we got to discussing hunting, they were amazed that I was (and am) a hunter...

    Squirrels with a flintlock

    Sorry I'm a little late to the game here...... I've always wanted to try squirrel. Here in NV we have ground squirrels but no one eats them. I know the natives used to but....... Do enjoy some cottontails though! Thanks for sharing!

    Pedersoli Trade Gun

    LD, Thank you! I got a big chuckle out of your post! I shot my first mulie with a ragged *** .45 cal CVA kentucky rifle I built when I was 14! The rifle looked like hell! But....it worked and made meat! I think that was 1978. Yep! I believe I will try someday with my smoothbore. I guess...

    Pedersoli Trade Gun

    So.....here's what I've decided. I've already sent the lock off for work. Not a gunsmith myself and don't want to goof up a lock on a $1000 gun. Just getting back into muzzleloading, I pulled the trigger on this Pedersoli and am going to make the best of it. I am confident that with a little...

    Trade, Barn, FDC, or Fowler

    A few months ago, I bought a Pedersoli Trade Gun. Folks who own them seem to really like them. I'm having alot of fun with mine, however it seems "finicky". Meaning I've had a few misfires with it. I've done nothing with the lock but considering having the hammer hardened and possibly...

    Pedersoli Trade Gun

    Britsmoothy, what do you mean by the hammer being ground flat? A perfectly "flat" striking surface? Did you change yours? Also, do you remove the pinned barrel to clean it? Did you harden your hammer or have it done? Wish we could sit down over a whiskey and chat. For now, I'll read your posts.

    Pedersoli Trade Gun

    OK, I know this has probably been beat into the ground. However, I'm going to open this up. I have read MANY posts about the trade gun by Pedersoli. Alot of suggestions state " with a little work" or "if you customize this" they are good shooters. So, what is everyone talking about? What...
