    D.H. Hilliard underhammer

    As far as I can tell the ramrod is original. It's the oldest Firearm I own. I can't believe how nice the bore is. It has some very fine pitting but nothing major at all. A friend of mine originally bought it in British Columbia and then I ended up with it.

It is better than many old timers I have seen at our shows too. The pitting in the bore is very minor and...

    .69 smoothbore ?

    Guys, I got this smoothy from a friend of mine a while back and was told it was most likely a commercially sportered (done post civil war ) French Model 1842. I know the wood has been shortened, but I think the barrel length is normal. It's pretty long and the ramrod looks untouched on both ends...

    Hi folks, we're a family of black powder shooters from Nova Scotia, Canada. My wife, myself and one of our boys( age 14) all shoot blackpowder. I hunted whitetails last year using a Traditions inline and bagged my first blackpowder deer. Hope to do it again this year again, but with my .54...
