    Moose Lube Ingredients

    I get the Witch hazle from the health and beauty / pharmacy department at Walmart and the castor oil I buy from the local hobby shop. Folks that fly remote control airplanes, R. C. race cars and R. C. boats mix it in their fuel, besides its a heck of a lot cheaper then when I can find it a the...

    BLACK BEAR WITH ROUNDBALL

    Blackfoot, Congrats on drawing the Minn. tag. :thumbsup: I've taken two bears with 50 cal.roundballs, both were shot during two separate spring bear hunts in Ontario (back when they had a spring bear hunting season). Both were shot over bait (baiting is legal in Ontario). The first one was a...

    Local ML Gun Clubs sought

    Having recently gotten back into Muzzleloading I am interested in finding a muzzleloading gun club / shooting club in the Eastern / Central Pennsylvania area. I live in eastern central Jersey but I have a place in the Poconos (Newfoundland) that I spend most weekends. I'm looking for a shooting...

    Swivel Breech Flintlock

    While at Dixons Gun Fair this past year there was a rifle builder (at the end of suttlers row) who was offering kits for a "swivel breech flintlock". Unfortunately I've lost the brochure :cursing: he gave me and can't remember his name or his company's name. I would appreciate it if someone...

    Dangerous game with a .54 cal.?

    John, I've taken two black bears with a muzzleloader, both were shot within 40 yards (over bait) in Ontario. Both were shot with a 50 cal., loaded with 70 grains of FFF under a .490 patched round ball. The 170 sow flipped over backwards like she was doing a cartwheel, she let out one small moan...

    New Flinter

    While I'm sure that this post will sound like sour grapes to many I just felt compelled to write. I'll start off by saying that the communication between Ray and myself was beyond what I expected during the time span that he was building me a custom "Lehigh". Sent pictures of the wood blank for...

    groundhogs

    Custom made lehigh, with a 32 cal. 44" swamped "long hammock" barrel, .310 dia ball in a .017" patch, lubed with "moose milk" in front of 30 grains if FFF. No recoil, I try to set up so as to keep most shots within 50 yds. They never knew what hit them :winking: Big K.

    Replacement barrels

    Besides the two custom lehigh's I've had built, (one is 32 cal and the other is a 50 cal.) I have a T.C. Hawken (flintlock) that I built / assembled over twenty-five years ago. My son shoots with me regularly and we hunt (modern weapons, sorry :( ) together every chance we can. Rather than have...

    Track of the Wolf "kits"

    For what its worth :hmm: I ordered a custom 50" x 58 cal. rifled barrel from John Getz at Dixon's fair this past summer, was told it may take as long as 9 mos. to produce. John contacted me (3) three weeks ago to tell me its finished. That's only six months and he had it sent directly to the...

    Swamped barrel with custom profile

    For whats it worth I agree that something worth having is worth waiting for, however I ordered a custom barrel from John Getz while they were at Dixons' this past summer, shes 59" long with a custom swamped profile in 58 cal. John contacted me earlier this week to tell me shes done. No one...

    I bought me one!???

    If you steadfast on shooting the gun and you cant seem to locate anyone to look over the barrels you might want to consider the following. I shoot skeet competatively and have had sub-gauge tubes (made by Briley)that allow me to shoot 20Ga., 28Ga., and 410Ga. shells in my 12Ga. over and under...

    Sniper, That is an absolutely gorgeous piece of wood, if you don't mind could you give me an idea on what you paid for it. That is one spectacular rifle, makes me green with envy. :thumbsup: thanks Big K.

    Ohio fullstock precarve?

    For what its worth I spoke to Tip at Dixon's this past weekend. He had previously sent me several photographs of at least 10 different Bucks County style rifles that he had in stock. Several were in the white, several stained but not finished. To answer you question I asked him if he would...

    Eastern Primitive Rendezvous

    Not having ever been to a vous, do they allow visitors to watch the daily events such as shooting, hawk throwing etc. etc. I would also like to know if there will be vendors there selling period clothing, powderhorns and anything to do with muzzleloading? :thanks:

    Northampton / Lehigh style guns

    I was at Dixons gun fair on both Saturday and Sunday, on Saturday I was talking to a gentlemen about a "Lehigh" style rifle he had in his possesion. My question is that all of the Lehigh / Northamptons I've seen in either books or in real life (great collection of Moll's at the show) had a...

    Stubborn frizzen

    I just received my new rifle, had a copy of a "Rupp" style rifle made. I took it out to shoot today and had minor problems. The first was corrected easily (debris) in the flash hole. The second has me perplexed, the hammer contacts the frizzen about 3/4 of the way up the face yet the frizzen...

    Rifle building classes / school

    I have been looking into buying and building a kit gun from one of the many manufacturers. Having limited space and tools necessary to complete such a project I was wondering if anyone knew a custom builder or buisness that offers courses for the novice. I'm looking for someone in the central...

    rifles in the white ??

    Does anyone know of a gunsmith / builder or company that offers "rifles in the white" besides Early Rustic Arms. I have limited "free-time" due to family obligations. I would love to have the time to build a kit gun, but for now one in the white would suffice. Having visited their site I was...
