    FYI Graf & Sons Black powder sale

    I have tried everything over the past few years, if you are talking about flintlocks, trust me stick with the holy black!

    Making a Powder Horn: Scrimshaw

    Yep, Pathfinder makes it look easy which is the mark of a true artist. Those of us that have actually tried our hands at horn making know for a fact how tough it is and what skills he has! P.S. I would love to see a part 3 about staining and dying horns too.

    Now this tops the cake...........

    Wow! After reading all these posts, I realize how great I have had it all these years. I married the girl of my dreams and my best friend when we were both 19 years old, right out of high school. We have spent the past 50 years together and it's been wonderful. She doesn't care much what I...

    BEWARE OF FEDEX AND COLLECTING TEXAS.

    Considering what shipping with FedEx cost these days, there is just NO excuse for damaging packages like that!

    DOES IT EVER GET CLEAN?

    I have had very good luck using RIG as my final patch through the barrel myself and I live in very humid Florida. For those not familiar with it, RIG is just a very good quality gun grease made by Birchwood Casey.

    What would it take for the NMLRA to become a true "national" organization?

    $20.00 IS $50.00, these days. Anyone that can publish a nice quality, glossy paper, color, monthly magazine and only charge $20.00 a year for it will have my subscription right then! I have read here a lot of well thought out and well explained issues and ideas for improving the NMLRA but, how...

    Good time to join the NMLRA!

    Would NOT having the NMLRA around do anything to help us out up in DC? Look folks, if you got an issue with the NMLRA then at least take the time to let them know it maybe more than once. I really was just trying to let the newcomers to this sport/hobby know about the organization and to make...

    Good time to join the NMLRA!

    I understand and that's totally your choice but, I know first hand what a help the club's members and the magazine Muzzleblast was to me, especially my first couple years in this hobby. Flintlocks can be really tough at first without some helpful articles to refer to (which is why YouTube is...

    Good time to join the NMLRA!

    Hey everybody (especially folks new to the hobby/sport of muzleloading), I just want to put in a plug for the National Muzzleloading Rifle Assoc. since now would be a good time to join up or renew your membership. I read sooooo many first timers questions here in the forums that have been well...

    Japanese Reproductions

    Ultra-Hi guns were NOT made by Miroku. There were a LOT of small companies making poor quality stuff back in the 1970's and '80s. Miroku has been in high demand for the past twenty years or more due to the high quality and workmanship. I got into a pretty stiff bidding war to finally get mine...

    Japanese Reproductions

    Don't know where you have been reading negative things about Miroku firearms but they are some of the finest reproductions I have ever owned and shot. I have a beautiful cherry stocked Brown Bess short land model they made and sold for our Centennial in 1976 and it's been just a fantastic gun...

    Stuck Jag....

    Mistake number 1, using a WOOD ramrod to clean with...everyone else has already addressed the possible fix but always using a well made steel range rod like TOW or Log Cabin sell for cleaning (and everything else really) will prevent a repeat performance of a broken cleaning rod. WOOD ramrods...

    Best Range Rod Suggestions

    The best range rod I have ever owned is the 44" stainless steel Creedmoor rod threaded 8/32 with a brass muzzle protector. I have broken and lost many range rods over the years and the Creedmoor steel rod from Track of the Wolf is the best I have ever used. Don't worry because it's steel and...

    Lee bullet mold question

    I second and third what everyone else has said - use the Lee molds just as. When you get to where you need worry about the handle pressure affecting your round ball accuracy, you will be ready to shoot in the Nationals!

    Are Swiss and Schuetzen the same powder?

    Swiss is the finest powder I have ever used, almost in a class by itself and it cost like it. I still pay up for it when I can get it though, it's that good IMHO.

    Revolver photos

    Remington 1858 New Army - the real deal, it was made in August of 1864. Condition is fair, the bore is still surprisingly nice with good rifling.

    In over my head with mystery rifle?

    We will all have a chance to do something about inflation and "supply chain" issues in November. Don't fail to get out and vote!

    So....I'm stupid!

    At 83 and still shooting, brother you are entitled to all the "slack" you need.
