    Hello from Alberta

    I believe that was my gun you just bought - Merry Christmas from your wife, right? Anyway, welcome to the sport and the forum - there's tons of information here, so feel free to ask anything!

    Track of the Wolf Tulle Questions

    I have had 2 of those kits from TOTW, and I found them fairly simple to build. The first one I did was the 42" barreled version in 20 ga with a cherry stock. Didn't like the cherry myself. The second one was in figured walnut, with the 44" barrel in 16 ga, and it was not heavy by any stretch...

    Matchlocks from India

    I think there are many more documented incidents of burst barrels made in Spain than Indian barrels. In many ways, I think the Indian-made matchlocks are somewhat more accurate reproductions than many others, particularly because of the somewhat ramshackle methods used in their production. How...

    spit patch

    I always use spit, even if I was cutting the patch at the muzzle. I also use spit for cleaning after every other shot. Just one spit-soaked patch, flip it over and run it down again, then 1 dry patch, and back to shooting. I think that works great, but as has been mentioned, I'll use...

    Custom ball molds - Great site!

    Around the time of Capt. Forsythe(sp?), rifle makers were having a really hard time getting larger charges of powder into a rifled muzzleloader without the ball stripping in the rifling. One of the things they tried was to make a 2-groove rifle that used a belted ball, and the 'ears' formed by...

    Custom ball molds - Great site!

    Hey, just wanted to pass on a website for a guy in the UK that makes custom round ball molds, all the way up to cannon sizes, even belted balls and hollow ball molds. I got one of his molds in .640 for my 16 bore smooth I'm building, and it arrived exactly one week later, excellent work, too...

    Elk antler cut-offs? Anyone???

    You know, I've seen bison, whitetail, mule deer, moose, and even a ringneck pheasant in that park, but never any elk! Besides, sneaking sounds so, . . . dirty. I like! :nono: :shocked2:

    Elk antler cut-offs? Anyone???

    Of course, once I got around to setting up my order from Moscow Hides, I get a nice little message that tells me they won't bother doing the export paperwork for anything under $5000 . . . Nice!

    Caliver Matchlock

    Just wondering why you are using such an undersized roundball??? I would recommend using the .600 roundball and .010 patch, that's what I used in my .62 smoothie.

    Elk antler cut-offs? Anyone???

    I am really trying to find one or two pieces of elk antler (straight-ish pieces), maybe 5 inches long or so, to try and make fancy powder flasks. Can anyone help me? I could also use some similar sized (maybe a little longer) thick deer antler pieces for priming horns. We could work something...

    fusil or fowler

    I agree. I am currently building a French fusil fin in the Tulle style, in 16 bore. This will be the second Tulle musket I've built. The buttstock style is very odd, but it holds and shoots extremely well. Without wading into the whole French war machine discussion, I will agree, the French...
