    New rifle

    Thank you, SixGun. The British Sporting Rifle design inspired the Hawken design. Hawken ditched the British finesse in favor of rugged utility on a brutal frontier. Most half stocks we Americans see are Hawken-style Plains rifles. The pinnacle of the BSR design was attained in 1850. Those...

    Buckshot loads

    Not a fan of buckshot for hunting. I have had way too many getaways with it, even at bad breath distances. It seems best for self defense

    New rifle

    Thank you. All credit for this project goes to longtime gun writer Ross Seyfried, who wrote a captivating article in 1995, to Eric (“Excess” here), who was captivated enough to assemble most of the parts, and to Mark Wheland who stepped outside his usual line of business to build this. And...

    Flat horn with brass spout

    just want to report back at 22 months later, i started on another horn. kind of ruined the one i tried to flatten. am now slowly scraping the tip of this new one to fit into the brass spout, and it is a lot more difficult than I thought it should be. i just do not have a feel for this stuff.

    New rifle

    Older Getz barrel. Serial number is at end of their actual barrel making days. Like 2001 or so if I recall correctly. I live in their area and know several people here who were promised barrels by Junior, who never delivered. He is in tough physical condition and probably cannot run that shop...

    New rifle

    Really wanted the distinctive look of the Manton waterproof lock, with the stand alone pan, which debuted late in the flintlock era. Rice makes one, Davis too, maybe L&R as well. Had I gone just for period correct and high function, Kibler’s Late Ketland lock is a great choice. Probably the best.

    FOR SALE Hunting & Fishing Lease in Dauphin County

    Thank you. There is about 70,000 acres of contiguous public land there (federal, state, municipal), adjoining us, what is informally called Saint Anthony’s Wilderness. It is an incredible area.

    Seasoning wood.

    I own a sawmill and am active in our regional timber market. You got good advice here, above. Mill it now, paint or Anchor Seal the ends, put up on flat stickers 12”-18” apart, under roof or sheet metal, and wait. 3” thick for stocks.

    WANTED Slung holster for Pedersoli sxs howdah pistol

    While we are on the subject of Pedersoli howdah pistols, here is an instructive photo of the 20 gauge with a 17mm felt wad. As can be seen, the 17mm felt wad is barely deformed when pushed into the barrel. I will be experimenting with the 17mm wads and round balls this weekend, but I am betting...

    Ok here is the updated holster. The maker needed a couple tries. Now the Pedersoli howdah pistol sits down deep and snug.

    SOLD - Pending funds Rare Pedersoli Howdah in .58 and rear leaf sight

    Mike, the first iteration of the Pedersoli howdah pistol had the swivel. That is not being made now. The later, now current version has the wooden ramrod. Historically, the swivel retaining the ramrod was used by every high quality maker I have seen, like the matching pair by Charles Lancaster...

    Mike Belleview Video Update

    I saw Mike in February at the 18th Century Artisan's Show in Carlisle. He was really struggling, fighting forward, but winning. Great spirit, always a friendly guy no matter how much discomfort he is in. Thanks for posting this video, Mule.

    WANTED Slung holster for Pedersoli sxs howdah pistol

    Small update: Sending holster (not belt) back to manufacturer (Pistol Packaging Inc). It is just too tight to admit and hold the entire pistol. Nice people.
