    A Lefty Caywood / Roby Northwest Gun

    Play with loads before you do anything else. If you don’t compete, then I highly recommend a rear sight. It’s night and day difference in terms of accuracy. I have a Caywood Chiefs gun with a 26” barrel with a rear sight. 3” groups at 50 are easy. Added one to my Bess Carbine. Same thing. I...

    Rifleman's knife

    It’s a hunting sword. Took him 9 months to make it…and he swears he will never make another!

    Rifleman's knife

    His steel and his leatherwork are equally as exceptional. At some point I owe Tallpine a post about this completely handmade item. Steel, leather, everything…the only thing God made was the deer that made the antler and the cow that made the leather.

    36 caliber deer hunting

    The .36 killed A LOT of men. It was considered very capable in that role. The .44 was designed to kill Horses. I don’t understand all the hand wringing about using a .36 launched from a rifle to kill deer at reasonable ranges. Muzzleloaders don’t kill with “energy”, they kill by punching holes...

    FOR SALE Euroarms 1861 Cook and Brothers. $800 plus shipping costs

    Have this exact gun. My favorite hog hunting rifle. Easy to carry, fast handling and accurate. With paper cartridges it’s very fast to reload. Tooooo much fun! Carbines are worth the money.

    WITHDRAWN Rear sight for Zoli 1841 "Mississippi" rifle

    Cool. Just giving you an option you may not be aware of. If HC is your goal it will be a long journey with a Zoli.

    WITHDRAWN Rear sight for Zoli 1841 "Mississippi" rifle

    You might consider a Benton rear sight. I built a custom 1841 just to mount under a Benton sight. Really enjoyed it. https://www.ssfirearms.com/proddetail.asp?prod=41S134

    HC barrel finish for a 1770s...

    Rich, Do you have any pics of a modern iron barrel in final finished form? Curious what level of polish it would have and how it would “grey” with use and reasonable care.. compared to the modern steel that we all have experience with now.

    HC barrel finish for a 1770s...

    Do you read anything posted here? Or just randomly post inane thoughts? He used his wife and her leggings as an example.

    HC barrel finish for a 1770s...

    Rchas is pointing to this scholarly publication as a reference for when the technology was available and in use. Not making assertions that it was in use in the colonies or on the guns in question. If you are not able to contribute in this thread in a way other than to try to impress everyone...

    HC barrel finish for a 1770s...

    Individual examples can always be found… that doesn’t disprove the idea. The army’s aversion to the Henry rifle is an easy example. And the insistence on infantry fighting in ranks in the face of those cannons is another. There are a lot of straw dogs in your post. Your wife’s leggings make my...

    Well, when I talked to her earlier this week she told me she was still going to be sewing until late spring/summer. Have known her a long time.
