very nice!!!!!!!!!!!

which book would you recommend?

hey,there is always next year! sounds like you had a good time. we were lucky here in PA and had perfect weather the last week of the season. the evening i shot mine, it was 8 degrees, 20-25 mph winds and snowing like crazy. awesome flintlock weather!

i shot 38 woodchucks this fall with my .32 cal. load was 30 gr of 3f, 310 & 311 rb. shots were from 10 yards out to 90+ yards. pass through on all except 3. 2 were hit length ways while down feeding at about 40 yards, the other was a monster, huge chuck shot at 75 yards through the front...

i just checked my trade gun and it is 5/64 and i shoot 3f in it without any powder loss to speak of. been that way for 25 years and i have carried it alot. some times i will have a very small amount in the pan.

Following strict rules of safety, I actually clean my loaded rifle barrel with damp patches followed by dry ones then very lightly greased. thats what i have done for years. shot my .32 thursday evening one time, reloaded and didn't shot it again. got home and ran a couple oil patches down to...

shot many with my 62 smoothbore and under 100 yards is about the fartherest i have had one go. most go down on the spot or very close. shot one tuesday evening at 55 yards quartering away. went in about 2" behind the ribs and came out the front shoulder. went 40 yards and lots of blood. misses...

got one tuesday evening with the 62 cal flint trade gun @ 55 yards. went about 30 yards.

traditional, just me as far as i know. alot of flintlock people during our "flintlock only season" but all are using fake powder and pellets and sabot bullets.

i hunted woodchucks with my 32 the last 2 months, and i will tell you, i have never had so much fun! shot them any where between 50 feet and 90 yards, with a lot of shots in the 50 to 70 yard range. ended up with 38. fouling is not a problem after you find what that gun likes. plenty of power...

well placed shot = dead deer! i'll take mine and we can go together.

very well said!

our "early" season comes in saturday and is in for a week. in this season you can use flint., prec., inline, scopes ect. if it loads from the muzzle you can use it. but, starting dec. 26 each year, we have the late flintlock only season for about 3 weeks. no orange required so you can wear...

i was in the same position as you a year ago. looked at custom kits, looked at have one built at TVM and other places and kept looking on line. finally saw one on gun gunbroker that was pretty much what i was looking for. talked to the guy a couple times and ended up buying it. paid 950.00 for...

same here, for 25 years. 70 gr 3f.

also not fur trade, but Arlington Cemetery is a very special place to visit. it is overwelming to stand there and take in the view.

also at that point, it isn't a .62 cal smoothbore, its a 20 gauge.

if it is loaded with shot, its a shotgun. the same as a contender in .410. if you don't have a carry permit, get a handgun sportsman permit to carry it hunting. i really don't think anyone will bother you as long as you only have shot loads with you.

same here. i like spending my money at a business like theirs. it's also only about an hours drive from my daughters house when we go to visit.

my barrel has xx in a circle. nothing at the muzzle.
