Sounds like a good deal! All those bullets flying must have been a sight! Oh, by the way how's the thumb??.....loojack :crackup:

I don't know about the mini lathes, but I have never had any luck with Harbor Freight tools! The last thing I bought was a bead roller off e-Bay, had I known it was HF I would NOT have bought it. The set screws were so soft I rounded one off with the 3" hex wrench they sent with it...

Congratulations Barbie, I think it's a great name! Let's see...3-1 against that School up North...a National Title, under Jim Tressel. I LIKE IT!! :off: (LOL) No offence guys!

Cool!!! How long did it take to arrive? I hate to be nosey, but I have my eye on a Ky. Barn Gun. Keep us updated and post pictures!!!....loojack

Track Of The Wolf has an interesting gun on their web site. Click on Flintlock Guns, then flintlock smoothbores,#AAA-661. It's called Antique Poor-boy .50 cal. smooth bore, restocked mid 1800. Looks like the type of gun we're discussing here. It looks later to me because the lock has a round...

OK, From what I've been able to find out is that a "poorboy" Is an iron mounted rifle made in the Tennessee Valley in the late 18th century to the mid-19th century. The barn gun is generally earlier, about mid-18th century, usually a large cal. smoothbore. Some were restocked trade muskets...

I was born in Aug. 1954, I'll be 51 this year. I started muzzleloading about 1970, lasted until the late 80's. Then I thought I wanted to be a race car driver.(just local dirt tracks.) Just started back up. Seems the more things change, the more they stay the same! With the internet a lot more...

Guys, go to TOTW's website, under flintlock rifles is a great copy of the Neumann rifle! It has the square breech and all! Follows the print, except it has a butt plate....loojack

Elnathan, I believe the rifle with the square to octagon barrel is available as a print you can get from The Log Cabin Shop. I bought the print some years ago, looking for a print of iron mounted Tennessee poorboys. It is from the collection of George C Neumann and is on page 140 of The History...

Any way, no worries. Muzzleloading is largely about the "feel" and imagfination and emulating our forefathers and foremothers, some of whom could handle a rifle mighty well. Folks should build and use what they like and enjoy it. I can't for the life of me figure out why some folks want to be...

This is all very interesting, I'm putting the parts together to build a "Barn Gun". I first heard about Schimmels in Chuck Dixon's The Art of Building the Pennsylvania Longrifle. I got the book in the late '70s, it's marked #75 inside the front cover. On pages 169 and 170 he has an article in...

Sure! Oprah has been known to give away cars and such...I guess the end justifies the means. Just let us know if you enjoyed it!.....loojack

VERY NICE STUFF! You should be proud of your work! I really like the 20 ga. smoothbore! Could you show some more pictures of it? I'm collecting the parts to build one some what like it, 20 ga. oct to round barrel plain maple stock with iron fowler trigger guard and no butt plate. Thanks for...

Looks good, Bill. I know the feeling. I just finished a poorboy squirrel rifle I started about 20 years ago! I'm now collecting parts to build a .62 cal. smoothbore, circa 1760 or so.....Keep us posted....loojack

Got mine on order too.....looks like a good book!...loojack

I haven't bought a gun from Tennessee Valley Mfg, but I ordered a precarved stock inlet for an octagon to round .62 cal barrel. I gave them a call and discussed what I wanted with them, and they were very helpful. The order came about 2 1/2 weeks later, as they said it would, and I'm very happy...

I agree, Brent Gurtek has a great style. I saw a schemmil of his at Track's website a few years ago, and fell in love with it immediately! Very unique style! ....loojack :redthumb:

I don't know much about these people, it just seems to me that as long as people line up to throw their money at them and don't expect much in return, this is what you get. I can't imagine sending several hundred dollars for a down payment and not get a reciept! I got envolved in muzzleloading...
