    Cold Steel Pipe Hawk

    Just bought a Cold Steel “1847 Rifleman’s Knife” that was made in India. Most impressed with the knife, its apparent quality, and price. Third blade I’ve gotten from India (repro French sword and tomahawk) and all have been top shelf. Whatever complaints people may have with the muskets it...

    Protecting metal under the wood?

    Timely post. Just finished a Bess kit that I’ll be shooting for the first time this weekend. Somewhat related: I did wax the channel and applied RIG to the underside of the barrel. I have no objection to removing the barrel for a cleaning though. With a pinned barrel I don’t think you can hurt...

    Pedersoli Baker Rifle

    Sounds like it’s gonna be a hot seller with all the buzz.

    Access Heritage guns?

    FWIW I have bought several non-firearm items from them and packaging and shipping from Canada to the United States was less than a week. Good quality too much better than I expected honestly. Of course YMMV.

    Heat from candle

    I didn’t read every post (so forgive if this already mentioned) but I went to several arctic/cold weather survival schools in the military and a single candle will heat a “proper” one or two man shelter like a snow cave just fine. Can’t imagine it doing much in a tent like structure.

    Ceramic flints?

    Anyone have a TRS Baker flintlock rifle?

    Ah buzzkill. Well hope blooms eternal! Luckily I have plenty of other muzzleloader stuff to keep me busy. Probably have too much stuff as it is! Save me a lot of money if it doesn’t happen I’m sure.

    Spanish Escopeta

    If you don’t mind me asking (and if its none of my business or you don’t wish to say that’s fine) how much did the builder charge on top of the kit price? Looks like he did a fine job. Seeing the original stock pics I was worried there wasn’t ENOUGH wood to properly shape the stock.

    The Rifle Shoppe

    This thread has been invaluable to my future direction in purchasing. Thanks to all who offered their experiences.

    The Rifle Shoppe

    Bravely spoken except this isn’t a 50 cent candy bar you are buying sight unseen but $1400 in precision merchandise. Some expectations on the part of the buyer are natural enough eh?

    The Rifle Shoppe

    Surprised to read all this. Seems the general tone with TRS has always been you are a real peasant if you don’t own one. Was kicking around the Baker but the above has given me pause. That stock was horrific on top of everything else. Don’t mind working wood but that pic had me wondering if...

    Lubed patches and powder fouling?

    Perfect. Thank you!

    Lubed patches and powder fouling?

    Sorry for the stupid question but I did try a forum search but with “roundball”, “patches”, and “lube”, I get a avalanche of results. Been shooting undersized ball (military paper cartridges) since the start and want to try PRB to see how accurate I can be. Bought some ball in the size...

    Wow. Came out great I think. Nice job!

    Black powder available

    Just an FYI. Tried to pick up a couple extra pounds and the site says minimum order of 4 pounds.

    How to “harden” leather?

    More information for the brain bank. Thanks! As an aside got some beeswax coming this week.

    Stupid, stupid, stupid

    Almost double loaded once talking to someone at the range. Luckily I caught myself at the last minute. Should get a shirt that says “Don’t talk to me while shooting.”

    Leading in a smoothbore…bore.

    Nice. Thanks. Be looking forward to your report.

    Leading in a smoothbore…bore.

    With certain guns, certain calibers, and certainly certain bullet types, a concern is the build-up of lead in barrels. Products and tools are dedicated to its removal. Notice I’ve never seen this being mentioned as a problem with smoothbores shooting big hunks of soft lead down the tube. Is this...
