Wow big is beautiful! A fine arquebus, Sir!

Welcome from France.

This isn't so much a 'What did you do' than a 'What would you do'. Like many here my finances for my hobbies are stretched and I can only buy one new 'thing' every six months or so. This means that over the past 2 years of rejoining this activity I have two pistols and two rifles. I am also into...

Whitworth rifle or Enfield 2-band. That said, I am rather fond of my own .45 hawkens.

...in which case Black powder guns in France are if anything even less restricted than I originally said, which was the actual point I was making with my generalisation. To be honest, I don't think I've ever come across an air rifle with a power output of more than 12 ft pounds in an everyday...

Hi Toby, welcome from an Englishman living in France! Happily, over here BP weapons of any kind, smoothbore or rifles, are unrestricted, like air rifles in the UK. I remember, back in my days in the UK American Civil War Society, having to have a shotgun cert for my (smoothbore) Parker Hale...

Welcome from France. I never knew Oklahoma was so mountainous!

Welcome from France

AT least you HAVE shooting personalities. Absolutely nothing on either UK or French TV. I'm not sure its a declining market, though. The Italian and Spanish manufacturers always seem busy...

Hello and welcome from France

The one shaped a bit like a Schofield is amazing, I have never seen anything like it before. Is that a LeMat (or variant of) also? I would pay a month's wages for a replica of one of those!

Welcome from France!

Finances come into this - at least with me. A 500g tub of powder over here costs me 75 Euros (about 68 USD). With my rifles, I find that the same amount of grains for the calibre of the gun works pretty well, and I have heard people on here say that this is as good a guide as any. 45 grains is...

Thank you gentlemen, looks like I will be going down the Pedersoli route.

Back here in Europe, we have little access to the excellent flintlock manufacturers and craftsmen you have the other side of the Pond. At least, without crippling shipping charges and acres of paperwork for importation. We do, however, have several factory makers of flintlock guns selling ready...

'...it doesn't reach as many people as we really have an obligation to' - sort of raises my suspicions. Is this his way of saying that it has no relevance to Black folks or Hispanics? If it doesn't, then hard luck to them. Surely that is their problem in seeing history as only something relevant...

Welcome from France.

Would you believe, a small packet of 100 patches costs 8 Euros (about 9 Dollars) on 'Naturabuy', the French online gun enthusiasts website? Ok, they are all cut very nicely into a perfect circle. But - 8 Euros??
