Thanks I will have to see.

Oh man I technically could make it but wish I knew about it sooner. I live in Florida in the Tampa area. To shoot would you had to of attended a prior event? Florida Frontiersman require that to shoot at Alfa Rendezvous. I can't make any promises. I did drive to Spencer, NC in March to visit the...

I finally saw one of these Traditions blunderbuss kits in person. It was at a pirate festival on the gun line. I was volunteering there. Barrel was in the white. Owner said he had issues with Browning the barrel. No way to mount ramrod thimbles. It kept misfiring sadly, we were all shooting...

I don't own this gun. I do mix 4f in with my 2f main charge on my Pedersoli 50 cal scout rifle because it has an antechamber. I think it would be a waste of pan powder to use only 4f in the main charge but I don't see it being anymore dangerous than a equal amount of grain from a coarser load...

Hi all I live in Florida. I belong to a pirate reenactment group and my friend who runs the group has a few swivel cannons. I have been part of the cannon line shooting blanks for festivals. I have run into people from out of state at these pirate events and some of them at other venues have...

That makes three shops there from Kentucky I know of. I bought my waistcoats from Romantically Bent who the owner was from Kentucky. The boots from Daniel Boone from Kentucky also and a tent or two away from Romantically Bent. I think Kentucky Leather was across the street from them.

They are open to the public again on Saturday the 21st. I can't go Saturday unfortunately because my church is doing their men's retreat that got postponed from last year Saturday. Hurricane Ian canceled it. I drove alone and went about eighty miles from Pasco county. I can understand that. I...

Thanks I did watch some of the muzzle loaders at the shooting range. Forgot to mention I did watch the Axe range a little. There were a bunch of kids there competing at Axe throwing.

I am pretty sure I saw Commodore Swab tent as I saw that same brass blunderbuss mounted on a wood post in a tent not far from the entrance. I walked around and bought two light wool waistcoats and a pair of riding boots. Was a good day.

Traditions has the same issues. All factory guns pretty much need tweaking unless you build your own. My Pedersoli Scout kit was $730 shipped 90% done and my factory lock was fine. It is way better than Traditions for the stock, barrel, sights, and fittings alone. Traditions use Walnut or...

https://www.hoppes.com/cleaners-and-lubricants/traditional-hoppes-9/5-oz-no.-9-gun-bore-cleaner/HO-904.html I use this hobs cleaner after every shooting session for my scout rifle. There is a pretty good chance your antechamber is clogged. Run it down the barrel outside and some patches, it...

You can test the ignition just with pan powder at home. I have done it just 4f in the pan and fire with no main charge. Is the flint knapped? Are you using leather? If you are using leather did you put a hole in the leather to accommodate for the bolt on the cock? Does the frizzen open more...

Did you try replacing or sanding the frizzen spring? I had to belt sand the frizzen spring on my Pedersolli Trade gun. Used 400 grit belt on a 1x30 sander. It was chipping flints before I thinned the spring on the top and bottom. I would put some 4f in the main charge. Antechamber could be...

As far as I know L&R doesn't make a replacement lock for the Pedersolli Lancaster pattern rifles. I did discuss this with you on my thread with my fifty caliber scout flintlock. I bought mine from Dixie too. If you do break a spring from over filing it you can order new springs. I would file the...

I can't remember if I took off my frizzen spring and ground it. I have a Pedersolli Trade Gun and the frizzen spring was way too strong. I remember taking it to a 400 grit belt on my power sander. Good you got the TOW sleeve with the flat face too. I use a 1x30 table sander. Harbor Freight sells...

Interesting I use English flint. The only change I did was to use a aftermarket vent sleeve with a flat face on the touch hole I bought from Track of the Wolf. I got about eight shots on that one flint and I only stopped because it was 4pm and the range closed. I was over filling the pan with 4f...

Well if I mix a little 4f with my 2f the main charge detonates each time. It was hitting left of center. Now it is hitting right of center after moving the rear sight left lol. At least it groups in one spot. I use 90 grains 88 2f and 2 grains of 4 about.

Thanks I'll have to look for you.

I was thinking of doing that Friday thanks. I am still going dressed up in my early 19th century wear.

Thanks for letting me know, wish it was more clear on the site and that someone would have responded to my email. Do I go through the frontierman's site to become a member?
