Having worked for the PGC, I think most of the staff and even the commissioners recognize how unique our flintlock season is and I presume that it's safe. Will there be concurrent seasons in some areas with high deer populations or CWD? Sure, I don't doubt it, but as others have suggested...

I sent you a private message if you get the time to look at some point.

As I mentioned previously, I've investigated at least several dozen "hunting accidents". I'm not sure that your suggestion here is true. Some victims were mistaken for game, but there are also some that were line of sight accidents (the victim was a long distance behind a real deer, turkey...

Not sure you'd see any appreciable increase in the doe harvest by lengthening the flintlock season for another week or two. Honestly, as others have pointed out, even in the areas where rifles (or inlines) are allowed, the likelihood of actually seeing anyone in the woods at that time with one...

Yeah, much ado about nothing really as the proposals didn't pass. For a very long time I've called out the game commission when I thought they were making mistakes, but too often a thread like this turns into a rant from anybody that didn't get a deer this year (or last year or in the last 20...

Two powder horns. One large, one small, both black in color and both with stoppers/end caps on them. One has a leather strap, the other one doesn't. $40 for the pair plus $10 shipping within CONUS or trade for balls/bullets, black powder (assuming an in-person exchange) or other interesting...

Small, handmade bag. Heavier leather makes this one stiffer and less supple. $70 plus $10 shipping within CONUS or would consider trading for balls/bullets, black powder (assuming an in-person meeting for exchange) or other interesting muzzleloading stuff.

This is a nice bag with two full-sized compartments. Buckle and adjustable strap. Looks very traditional. $90 plus $10 shipping within CONUS. Would also consider trading for balls/bullets, black powder (assuming an in-person meeting for exchange), etc..

Thanks. Done.

I was just up that way a few weeks ago to do some fly fishing and there were a LOT of deer in the area. No idea where you'll be hunting, private, state land, etc., but I'd anticipate a decent hunt in that part of the state.

Yeah, I'm far from an expert (I've been messing with flintlocks for 40+ years, have built 6 or 7 of them and have a few custom guns built by other builders), but you're not going to have any issues with a Kibler lock. I have an early SMR, which I THINK has a Chambers lock, but I also have...

This is sold and can be removed by the moderator(s).

I probably wouldn't have interest anyway, it's just not my cup of tea, but maybe I can post dimensions and someone else who's interested in the stock/barrel would also be interested in the lock. Then they'd only need a set of triggers and a triggerguard, pretty easy to get those. If it...

I'll shoot you a PM.

Nice work. What part of South Carolina? I have a seasonal/retirement home in the upstate.

Yep, thought about that after posting. Upcoming in a few.

I picked this up somewhere years ago, it's not a kit that I've worked on. It's marked Dixie Gun Works, but also Pedersoli/made in Italy. It's a 13/16" .45 kit gun that someone started. The barrel has some light surface rust, but seems fine and I'm sure it's never been fired. The stock has...

Generous offer and I'm interested.

I have a son in SLC, but he's very inexperienced with flintlocks and doesn't have any with him. If I were visiting, I'd be happy to help out, but I've only been out there once. For what it's worth, I did do some trout fishing in the Uintas and absolutely loved it. I've encouraged my son to...

Did you find something yet? I have a piece of INCREDIBLE curly maple that I think would be long enough for that, but there is some bark inclusions and the barrel channel isn't the whole 9/4" or 10/4" wide. I THINK that you'd be able to make it work if you wanted/needed to. I kept the stock...
