That is nice. Good job on the refinishing. I have a CVA 12 Gauge I purchased as a kit in 1981 from a trader at a black powder shoot. Spent a month on the build, on may kitchen table,(single then). The only thing I wish I had done was put stain on the English Walnut. I left it natural with about...

Dang, that is some nice gear. You guys are a bad influence. I just opened that sight and within 10 min. I spent $150.00. Can't wait to get the gear and the first shoot I got to , lay some of it our on the shooting bench to show off. Mike

Good shooting and great bird. I will take 30,40,50 yards anytime carrying the old flintlock. I might have to make a few calls to some friends in TX and see if they have any birds on their place in TX. I didn't know it was any weapon in the spring there. Is it county specific or state wide? I get...

What are the specs on this fine rifle? Very Nice! Length, diameter of barrel, lock brand. That is sweet. Mike

Great photos and stories. Wish I had some stories with my smoke poles but have only hunted with my home made Osage Selfbows and longbow lately. I didn't know if those photos would be appropriate on this site. Keep on posting your stories. I might have to dust off my 12 gauge side x side that I...

I eat just about any wild game. The favorite that I hunt and am lucky enough to bring home is deer. I cut out the back straps and put them in packages about 6" long. I take one out of the freezer, open, place in large zip lock bag with cup of teriayki marinade, a little powdered garlic and press...

Damn, if some of my lock inlay mortices, or holes I make in the stock, looked like that, I would carry my rifle around with out the lock in it until I get ready to shoot it just to show it off. Some of the rifles I made that are flintlock have turned back inside the mortice after 40 years of...

Very nice rifle I shoot an old musket with a mini something like those. The guy that sold it to me used Plaster of Paris like you make casts for broken bones. He also used the material called Drywall Spackling that fill nail holes with. You can get a pint for a few dollars at hardware store...

I was given one in such shape. I took 4/0 steel wool with Break free lube and a cleaning jag just a bit smaller than the bore and ran that steel wood on a cleaning jag with oil up and down the bore until it had a little shine to it. Changed out the steel wool several times. There was still...

Good luck FiremanBrad. It's great you are working with the youth hunters. I do that myself when I have time. What part of the country are you hunting? Hope you have hero pics soon! Mike

Rató:rats, I see you posted you can only shoot bearded Tom's. Is there a restriction on Jakes due to beard size. Does the beard have to be so long before you can shoot one? Just curious because around here they are considered a legal Tom if you want to shoot one with a 1" Beard and just bumps...

I was referring to the Obsidian. I should have been more clear., Mike

Let me check. I had some where I used to build muzzleloaders and bows at. Do you know approximately what each piece will weigh? Mike

What dimensions of pipestone are you looking for? I think I may still have one or two pieces about 3"x4". Mike

I have been shooting flintlocks 44 years and have yet to damage or break a sear, hammer, or any other part on my Cochran, L&R and Siler locks freshening the flint edge with the back of a small patch knife or my little brass hammer with screw driver shaft. 99% of the time I freshen the edge of...

Outstanding. Glad you got to get out in the fresh air and get some time off. Thanks for you helping in the Medical field. I have a small tin (Ted Cash Fire Kit Tin container) of pure flattened round balls I cast and shot into deer, elk and a coyote from chest to rear hindquarter over the years...

You can do some long range shooting with the 1-48 twist but you might have to use some type of bullet design. You would be better served with a good set of Vernier Tang Rear sight with adjustable diopter and a hooded front site with either the post insert of longer ranges the circle inserts...

I found this person and many test for conicals in black powder revolvers on YouTube. I purchased some of his bullets in two weights for my Ruger Old Army. I found my ruger liked the 240 grn so I purchased a mold from Kaido. I shoot 30 grains of 777 powder or 28 grains of 3F Goex with bullets...

I have three Muzzleloading related books that are like new condition. Picked them up in the 80's when I got started and ended up with duplicates. 1. The Hawken Rifle" It's Place in History by Charles E Hanson Jr.- 2. The Mountain Man's Sketchbook by James Austin Hanson & Kathryn Wilson 3. The...

Sent you a PM- will take the knife. Mike
