    Good load

    I took my girlfriend to the CSMLA Winter Conference in Ft Lupton, CO this past weekend and she picked herself up a pretty nice used CVA caplock. She chose it herself after talking to some of the oldtimers and made her own deal. It was a goog deal and she is very happy. I am asking this question...

    Picked up stones

    Has anyone tried this.... There is alot of petrified wood around the area I live in Colorado. I have a tendency to pick up pieces that I like looking at when I am "hiking" Few pieces end up on the windowsill so I can look at them awhile. One shard was there for a couple of days before I realized...

    MilitaryHeritage Arms

    I kinda like the Baker Rifle, for alot of reasons. ie' Shorter barrel, time frame, able to fit it into the Fur Trade era. The problem is I really don't want to spend $2500 to $4500 on a rifle. I see that MilitaryHeritage out of Canada has them. They sell 'em non firing (import stuff) and you can...

    Re-enactments

    Other times when I don't want to be travelling the mountains, I really like Rondys. Is there a comprehensive lists of history events. I know of the major ones like the College, and the RMNR ( I went last year to Mancos with one of my horses). Back east, one could go to events within a half days...

    New to Mountian Man

My question is are there any other "mountainmen" message boards. This is a really good one. I am going to need advice on accfroutments and so on. I have...

    Mountainman Rifle

    Stumpkiller, lookin for a production gun. Many fine smith's out there, but want to stay under $1000. Preferably way under a grand. Re-thinking period again. I was trying to stay with Rev War arms but I will start lookin at 1812 stuff. More plausible at my real age and then being in the Rockys...

    Swan Shot

    I have seen the tear drop shot called swan shot but I do not believe that is accurate. Nontheless, I personally would only use the tear shape shot for display. Imagine biting into a piece of succulent rabbit and having a wedge shape piece of lead being driven between your teeth. OWWW. Course...

    Mountainman Rifle

    I guess I should have said that I want a rifle VS a smoothie. I am not very accurate with my .62 Wilson trade gun and I do not want to waste a shot this year.. Ha ha. I don't know that I want a Hawken in that it would limit me to a period after 1809 (I think). Looking, maybe, for something that...

    Mountainman Rifle

    Since moving to the plains in veiw of the Rockies I have changed my historical persona to the Early exploration of the Rockies (???) I could use some advice. I am looking for a large caliber flint rifle to use in these mountains. I prefer a short barrel (30 inches ?) to use on horseback. My 42...
