I agree. The fire was fanned by popular culture of that time. It's unlikely we'll see such a time in the near future. That being said I'm perfectly happy with the current conditions. I have more than enough black powder, caps, and supplies to keep me and my fellow shooters going. I have enough...

I'm going to leave some food for thoughts here. As I understand, traditional muzzleloading was almost dead 100 years ago. There began to grow an interest in the archaic, impractical and misunderstood subject of black powder muzzleloading. It grew from into a true grassroot movement of men that...

When I was a kid with my first muzzleloader, I bought some conicals to shoot in it for some reason. After shooting a few I got one stuck about halfway down. I broke a wooden ramrod and an "unbreakable" synthetic ramrod trying to get it down. Finally got mom to drive me to Max Keller, our local...

200-500 depending on condition and buyer interest. I personally wouldn't pay over 350 for one that had been a shooter and was in excellent condition. Like new in box my limit would be 400. I'm sure there would someone else who would be willing to pay more.

I'll take it.

I'm a member. Hope someday to be able to go to Friendship.

I would be interested in such service.

I didn't take pictures as I was doing it but I'll try to describe what I did. I measured around the inner ring that comes with the charger head and added enough so I could over lap and sew flat. The leather ID was a little smaller than the brass ring's OD. I wet the leather, pinched the seam...

I wondered if anybody would notice😀.

Very nice.

I used the 2-3 oz bargain leather that Springfield Leather has available occasionally. After I dyed the leather I've been applying TOTW's mink oil to soften the leather. It feels right.

I made a bag based on a the Tennessee Rifle Bag pattern out of TC Albert's book "Recreating the 18th Century Hunting Pouch". It turned out nice but somehow I made so small that my hand barely fits in it. I gave it to kid. Got a couple more bags cut out and half sewn. One is my own design I...

I'll get my chance to antique it next month while hunting doves and then later this year going after quail. I saw a big ol covey run into some brush. Lot's of little ones this year.

Top picture was posted on ALR forum 4 years ago. The bottom picture is my attempt to sorta copy it. Holds 30 charges of shot. Picked up the charger heads from Dixie Gun Works a few years ago when they had them on sale. Still need to put a couple of small brass screw in the collar.

Lyman 57SML with 17AML fronsight is what I use for target shooting. Rifle is a TC Renegade with Rice fast twist barrel.

I'm in the low range of the 41-60 group. I have 3 of my children 12 to 20 shooting BP and in the last year got 2 more started with their own rifles.

My first muzzleloader was a Lyman Trade Rifle .50 percussion. The only thing I didn't like about it was that it has a coil spring in the lock. Being my first rifle of any type it holds a special place on the rack. The wood is gorgeous.

Thanks. Got it figured out.
