Fully agree with everyone's suggestions !! The one place no one suggested for you is "GUNBROKER.COM . I was just on their site yesterday and there was around 6 or 7 good flinters for sale there !! Yeah , i am looking for myself also !! Good luck in your endeavors and welcome to the black...

Redbear , can't help with a trade , however , Crazycrow.com would be a good starting place to start !

Is that PYRODEX R S as old as the rifle !!! Could clearly be the problem . As for those R E A L bullets , i ran right out and bought a R E A L bullet mold , for my T.C. .50 !! P.O.S. !! Guy that sold it to me wouldn't take it back ! Could swear he was giggling as i walked out ! Anyway ...

William Lincoln , i am familiar with what you allude too , "the era closed out" . I grew up on my Grandfather's farm , (till i was 15) , with gas lighting and kerosene lanterns in the out- buildings . I also remember when he broke down and installed electricity , and indoor plumbing ! My God ...

Once again , got my mind going !! Grew up on a little farm in Ohio , outside Zanesville , and my grand dad would plant corn with beans . At 9 and 10 years old , i did not pay much attention , as it was just "life on the farm" ! And , Kansas_Volunteer , thanks for the book reference ! Looks...

Welcome to the world of B.P. , from northern Maine !! I have not picked up a "modern" rifle in years !!

Our DIF&W here in Northern Maine , otherwise known as "The County" , are really some very open persons , even in their day-to-day operations !! Mind your Ps and Qs , be cordial , you'll be o.k. !!

Well folks , my humble opinion is the key words " .010 LUBED PATCH " !! When the ball exits the barrel with the "lubed patch " stuck to it , it is then subject to air friction which i think will peel that patch off the ball like tearing the top off a can of Yoplait !! GOT SPIN ?? Yeah , i...

We are talking survival , so , pistol will be my Traditions , .50 buck hunter ; rifle would be my .56 cal/28 ga. smooth bore for it's versatility !

Grenadier 1758 , thanks for the info !! As regards #11 caps , no , i have not had an issue with them that did not turn out to be my own shortcoming . Somewhere , sometime , i got the notion that i did not want to hear "snap, pop, silence" ! I want to hear " snap , pop , boom" when the object...

While we are on the subject of New Englander , i am using Musket Cap Ignition on my .45 & .50 rifles and my .56 smoothbore . Am now considering using the same on my 12 ga. N.E. . Question is , will using the hotter Musket Cap possibly cause over-pressure condition ??? Thoughts , anyone ?

Excellent work , sir ! Darn good looking piece !!

Received heads-up from "Buffalo Arms" , that they have GOEX and OLDE EYNSFORD black powder in stock !! You need to call 208-263-6953 as they are having a problem with their site right now. Good luck on getting some .

YO , Nit Wit , where in Maine are you ??

Welcome to the soot-lovers society !! Ain't it fun ????

Welcome from Maine ! This is without-a-doubt the best muzzle loading site , bar none !!!

My take ?? It has been done as long as riders and rifles have been paired up !! Lay it across your legs behind the saddle pommel , or , hang it from your pommel with a leather loop , with the barrel tucked between your leg and the stirrup strap . Both ways are fairly secure and not...

I have my cartridge rifles , keep em clean and stored ! Haven't hunted with them in years , as i thoroughly enjoy B/P hunting ! Never feel under-gunned with a trusted B/P rifle / shotgun in my hands . Enjoy the journey !!

A sharpened hole saw ? In a drill press ? Wish i had thought about that !! I love it ! Lowe's tomorrow morning !!! Oh , Yeah , Thanks !

Fully agree. Please keep in mind that the stats i quoted are for the T/C RENEGADE .56 CAL. SMOOTH BORE RIFLE ! NOT a 28 ga. shotgun ! I am 75 , so know all about the swivel getting creaky .
