    Where to buy pure lead

    Many thanks for all of your input. Based on what you wrote, I narrowed my search down to scrap flashing as being the best lead for roundballs with the least trouble and stench. So, I went lookin and got lucky yesterday, buying over 600 lbs of lead flashing for 20 cents/lb! I figure I've got...

    Where to buy pure lead

    Great ideas, Pilgrims. Keep them coming. I just picked up a cast iron muffin tin with 7 small spots at the Goodwill store yesterday for 3 bucks to pour small ingots for my primitive ladel. It's made in the USA but has a German name on the handle. This is great! Now I have another addiction...

    Where to buy pure lead

    flintlock shooting tips?

    Perfectly normal reaction when you are beginning to shoot a flintlock. After all, there is an explosion going on right in front of your eyes. So, let's work through it. First, wear glasses to protect your eyes and your perception of what's going on. Now, grip the wrist of the stock firmly, but...

    Where to buy good and affordable longrifles

    I have two TVM rifles, a kit gun in .54 and a semi-custom in .58 and I swear by them both. TVM uses the very best American parts and does an excellent job in construction. Mine have Siler locks, which give me the option of switching to Siler percussion and back again if I want. Make sure you...

    How light is your rifle

    I'm brand new to the forum, but I've been shooting for awhile here in Colorado. I take an early morning hike in the gulch for 3 miles most days and I've been carrying a Pennsylvania Wolfgang Haaga style rifle by Jack Garner in .58 cal that weighs about 9.5#. The first week I carried it seemed...
