I read online to soak them for about 30 min.

we're not quite that cold in Alberta, was -47C earlier in the month. -25 yesterday and -20 today, warming up though.

Like the cold in Vermont post, It's pretty cold here in Alberta, -20 again this morning. Supposed to warm up this afternoon, then into the cold again. I made these two pouches fashioned after one I got from an old time shooter in Edmonton. They are made from some left over pieces of moose hide I...

I second this. I'm in alberta next door and caps and powder are non existent. Cabela's has had some pyrodex now and then, and there is a fellow in Edmonton from the Alberta Black Powder shooters association that brings in quantities of Schutzen. About 6 months ago some caps showed up at Cabela's...

Do you use a mold to shape the leather? might be a good project for me over the next few days as it's -25C here again today and for the rest of the week.

37 for me

I had one like that, but the other horns I sourced locally from the abattoir was real nice. turned out good too.

Ask for his name and phone number so you can call him to discuss the builds. This will be the tell tale to a scam!

Winter I set mine up in my driveway and put the stove for a day.

Clay got back to me. 3-4 weeks for an English Trade rifle! Not too bad at all.

Anybody order a trade rifle kit recently from Clay Smith? Wondering what the wait times are? I emailed him and am waiting for an answer but was wondering if anyone has order3d one recently.

My feelings exactly. We should be encouraging people to get into the sport and enjoy it. Like most sports people start with lower end budget equipment to see if they like it and down the road upgrade to something better/different. With threads like "these are all junk" how many potential new...

I lucked out a couple months ago and found CCI caps at Cabela's Canada. There was a post on another forum they were in stock. I bought 500 at 11 at night online and they were all sold out by 06:00 the next morning. I'll be good for this year and next. Shooting the flinter a lot.

I used lamp wicking and some small scraps of moose hide for this one.

My journey into flintlocks started quite a while back. I grew up in a hunting family in Alberta Canada, but it was all center fire rifles. In the mid 1970's my dad purchased a CVA 45 cal Mountain pistol kit while we were on a holiday to Disney Land. He brought it back on the plane in a carry on...

I guess they needed some Tannerite for those movies!

Where do you get that thick felt?

I shoot shot out of my traditions 50 cal. Here is a thread I just did on squirrel hunting with it. https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/squirrel-hunting-with-the-traditions-50-cal.172384/

I don't see it as a lie at all. You had decided back then that shooting a deer then wasn't what you wanted to do that day, or maybe ever again. Fast forward to this hunt. You were asked to help provide, which for all us older gentlemen is what we were taught from young children was what we were...

They're fairly new, I also have bad astigmatism. Mine are called a Multifocal Toric lens.
