Welcome from Canton, Ga. Just past you…. My daughter lives in Woodstock. I’m also a member of Talking Rock Blackpowder shooters. You should come up and join us! There is a shoot next the Saturday the 23rd

Maybe so but they are a small shop. And caters to the local blackpowder community. I’m sure they will have no issues selling what they have.

My local gun/blackpowder shop just recieved their order of Goex. 2 3 and a couple pounds of 4f The price they have on it though is $40 per pound. They posted this photo.

I own a Pietta and a Uberti 1860 cap and ball pistols. It’s just a chemical thing they do. It’s not real and can be stripped off.

To the OP……. I didn’t see how you were going to start this business. You mentioned no money. Let say someone wanted you to build a rifle. We’re you going to ask for all the money up front? The customer buy it and send it to you? Until you get a name for yourself…. I don’t see anyone just...

That is the find of a lifetime!! Both pistols are a treasure and look to be in fantastic condition. It’s not uncommon to find hidden drawers or compartments inside trunks or chests. My grandfather was a master woodworker by trade. He built a large wooden chest for his tool which mostly...

The owner/builder of the rifle said it was a Colonial yesterday….

Do you have a photo of the entire rifle? What is on the butt of the rifle? I see the inlay of the antler… cant make out the butt. Is it also antler?

I used 2f or 3F to prime for years with no issue. About a year ago a friend was getting out of shooting and I bought the powder he had. There was a pound of 4F as well…. First time I used 4F…. I have to say I really don’t see a difference. Maybe there is and I just can’t tell… i think back...

Those are very nice pistols. It’s a CVA. I have one identical to it I bought new and assembled in the early 80s

I still have one in .58 that I built in the early 80s. Shoots great! You’ll like it for sure. About a year ago I refinished the stock.

I knew it wouldn’t last long… I kept staring at it…. Should have jumped on it. Beautiful rifle! Someone got a deal!!

Tons of ideas above. But to answer your first question… Hobby Lobby does sell leather in small amounts. But you pay way more for it.

I wish him well!

Great job! It’s stunning for sure! I didn’t see this answered…. What caliber did you go with? I’m thinking of getting a Colonial. thanks for posting!

first off.. since you quoted me… please tell me where I called you personally a liar? All I said was some that said pull the screws out probably hadn’t done it. But I know some have…. but I stand behind what I said. Do NOT take the screws out. They aren’t made for it. Why wouldn’t you just...

I use an RCBS powder funnel. Fits perfectly over my 60g spout. Do NOT take the little screws out. You’ll have a mess and probabl won’t get them back in. I think some saying to do that has never done it before. Use a funnel.

I’ll just say it like this…before the internet was around to tell me what to do…. I shot countless balls cast from wheel weights. If it melted… I shot it. Never had an issue with it. that being said I do shoot pure lead now…. Because I happen to have some. But I wouldn’t hesitate to shoot...

Thanks! And if I do pull the proverbial trigger on it I was thinking of looking into that. But I’d try without first Maybe

Thanks for all the replies! I am torn on getting it only because I’ve been a rifled shooter all my life and the unknown. But life is too short…. Right? I think I may get it. and to answer @Brokennock question…. The barrel seems to be normal for a Fowler? It’s about the thickness of a...
