    2 Band Enfield Smoothbore

    Thanks for all the info that you guys have provided. I knew someone here would know something about this rifle. I was really surprised that there isn't much out there on these older imports. After I get it cleaned up and a new nipple on (thanks Va.Manuf.06), I'll get it out with my brother...

    2 Band Enfield Smoothbore

    Hello, Yes, it is an Indian import but not one of the newer ones. I picked this up from a guy at work who found it at a yard sale and bought it for $15. Google was no help and I couldn't find anything here about this particular import. The nipple is missing but my brother took a look at it and...

    Traditions Springfiled Hawken

    I have this same rifle. It was given to me last fall. My first ML. I ended up with a .490 ball, .15 patch and 70 grains of fffg. It's a fun shooter. Shoots nice groups. I have no trouble with the single trigger. Here's my thread where everyone here helped:[url]...

    Continental Army musket

    I get an "F" in reading comprehension! I didn't realize that the barrel was above and beyond the kit price in the Chambers kits. :shocked2: That fact makes the ERA kit much more attractive. I'd go for an in the white package but I don't want to wait a year for it either. I believe a call to...

    Continental Army musket

    In searching around a bit more, I found Jim Chambers. It looks like his New England Fowler/Militia Musket "kit" would be just what I'm looking for. It's $85 more than the ERA version but the stock looks to be more than just "rough shaped". The stock carving is the part that scares me. I guess...

    Continental Army musket

    Probably but the ERA would have to built. The part that scares me is the stock but my brother assures me it's no big deal (for him anyway). I'll have to check with ERA to see what the wait time is on a kit, if any. Then there's the problem of getting time together with my brother only when...

    Continental Army musket

    I've been looking for the same type of thing as the original poster in this thread. Being from Massachusetts I want something that would have been used in the opening days of the AWI. It's been hard trying to figure out what's what but this forum has been a huge help. I've looked at muskets...

    Neat! "Link1" is mine. I hope to take it out hunting Friday morning for it's 1st time if there isn't too much snow.

    Springfield Hawken

    Again, thanks Zonie. I guess the spring being used to hold the ramrod makes more sense than what I thought it was for. I still have a lot to learn. I'll check the wedge to see if I have it in wrong. Also thanks to everyone for the load data too. My brother says he has different sized .50...

    Springfield Hawken

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. I was unaware that I had a different ramrod than what originally came with the rifle. Cool. I may stain the wood, I haven't decided yet. I pulled the barrel off for the heck of it last night. I noticed the wedge was loose but my brother told me not to...

    Springfield Hawken

    Hi everyone. Newbie here but I've been reading all I can here at the forum. Lots of good info. Thanks! I was looking to buy a muzzleloader to extend my deer hunting this year. I didn't want an inline, I wanted something more traditional looking. I happened to ask one of the guys I work...
