    Jap Matchlock

    Have a question about your matchlock. Looking at the photo of the bottom of the barrel it looks like the flash pan is dovetailed into the barrel or are my eyes playing tricks on me again?

    teppo/tanegeshima blueprints?

    Do not know if this will help or not. Several years ago I was searching for a good publication on Japanese matchlocks. It took me a while but I found "Japanese Matchlock ~ A story of Tanegashima" by Shigeo Sugawa in an English translation and purchased my copy from the author. This is a well...

    Deringer rifles

    I am a little late in responding to your question. Find a copy of "For Trade and Treaty" by Ryan R. Gale. You will find an example of a Derringer trade rifle (p 161) and a Northwest gun (p 155). This is an excellent publication and well worth the money if you are a student of trade rifles and...

    Jezail gun anyone?

    Keep us posted on your progress. I have a definite interest in these firearms but have not obtained one as of yet. The thing that fascinates me is the decoration used on these guns. Thanks for posting the photos.

    When casting, what's a sub for a leather apron?

    Be sure to wear a pair of old jeans and old leather work shoes. Depending on how long the casting session will be, the lower portion of your pants and tops of your shoes will be covered with tiny droplets of molten lead which can be the dickens to get out. You usually won't notice it until you...

    plains rifle

    Very interesting piece. I agree that some more photos would be nice also some measurements... it is difficult to tell if the lock plate was flint or not... there is a hint of what appears to be the remains of a pan to the left of the percussion drum. The percussion hammer looks to be English...

    help identifying an older rifle?

    Browsed through my library and based on the architecture of the piece it looks definitely Moroccan. It is rather plain looking as many examples are highly decorated. As Tom pointed out, this may well have been made for the tourist trade. My source was "Firearms Of The Islamic World", by...

    Best Chronograph for BP

    Have an old Chrony that I have used for years. Just the basic unit (have to write down the readings). They work great and you can now get them with lots of bells and whistles. Take time to set it up on a tripod and set it back about 10' from the muzzle. This was one of the best investments I...

    10, 11, or 12?

    This crow thing got my interest... We would shoot them when out in the fields on the farm. Texas Fish and Game says "crows, or magpies may be controlled without a federal or state depredation permit when found committing or about to commit depredations on ornamental or shade trees, agricultural...
