Since this Buffalo hunt doesn't allow muzzleloading rifles it has no place here on the forum so I'm locking it.

Well, we can hope that some group of investers who are fond of traditional muzzleloading guns will buy up the rights to the name and start making the same guns they used to make, perhaps with some improvements to their authenticity. In the meantime, I'm not going to hold my breath. If any...

The man who coined the term, "the Golden Age of the Kentucky rifle" was Joe Kindig, Jr in his book, "THOUGHTS ON THE KENTUCKY RIFLE IN ITS GOLDEN AGE". He wrote that following the end of the Revolutionary War in 1783: "...It was this overabundance of gunsmiths after the Revolution that accounts...

The reason that Remington doesn't show the barrel threads like the New Model Army is because that pistol is not a New Model Army. It a reproduction of the Remington 1861 Army Revolver, often called the "Old Model Army" in it's late stage of production. This pistol used the original...

I believe the 17,6 marking on the barrel is the bore size. If so, 17.6 mm = .693". That is exactly the size of a 14 guage barrel.

Leather for me on all of my flintlocks.

Some of you folks need to read the forum rules. Rule #35 says, Do not post links to classified ads or auction items (yes, this includes the name of the domain and the item number). I know your trying to be helpful but please contact the person who wants the item by using our "Conversations"...

The subject is, "How many shoot bp only?" If all you can do is to talk about modern cartridge guns in this thread then don't be surprised when your post vanishes. This is a traditional muzzleloading forum so let's keep talk about modern guns our of our comments.

I can remember when my mom and I would spend hours studying big mail-order company's catalogs. If money was available we would decide what to get and then fill out the form. Putting it carefully in an envelope and sending it off was like casting a stone off of a high mountain. It would vanish...

Well, I apologize for posting my comment and saying you shot at a range. You might notice that you responded only 5 minutes after I first posted the incorrect post and while you were correcting me, I was editing my post to say you didn't shoot at a range. As far as "nanny's" go, I am not your...

The Magnum caps were made for guns that are loaded with a synthetic black powder. These powders need more heat to get them to burn than real black powder does. Some people just like the idea of using a cap that has more power. Hunters especially who want to make sure the first shot will fire...

I fixed it for you. :)

Talking about politics outside the American Politics section of the forum is against the rules. Stick with talking about Dixie Gunworks without getting into political issues or I'll delete your post and close this thread.

You say you don't shoot at a range but a lot of people do. There are usually some kids at the range and kids love to see old time guns like you shoot so they are keeping an eye on everything you do. Deep inside them, they want to be a old time explorer or mountain man and shoot a gun just like...

Folks. Please keep comments about politics and unrelated gun issues out of this thread. Thanks

Probably because he isn't here right now. To find out if a member is on the forum and if he's not, to find out when he was last here, put your cursor over the persons name/picture over in the left hand side of the page. That will open a window that allows you to start a Conversation (PM). It...

No. I did not put a bolt or other reinforcing rod down thru the lengthwise direction of the wrist. As I said, the long barrel tang on the top fitting snugly in it's mortise and the long trigger plate on the bottom fitting snugly in it's mortise has a screw connecting both the front area and...

Probably it's pretty hard. Dixie Gun Works is in Union City, Tennessee. The whole town would fit in a 4 mile X 4 mile square and it's population is only about 12,000. Training people to work takes time and I'm pretty sure all of the current Dixie employee's are busy packing and shipping things...
