Hand cannon project
Eons ago we used to take 8-10 Hawaiian punch cans, leave the bottom on 1 and lids and bottoms off others. Drill a hole in bottom, put an old spark plug in, it duct tape them all together. 4 drops of lighter fluid and a push broom handle for a ramrod. And a tennis ball. Would go several...- Questing

Hand cannon project
Mom (Mother Nature) must love us. We've had 4 dogs, and too many birds to count. And they have all been close to us. You know what the local kids miss most about school Cor19 closures? Meeting Mia and I at the school bus stop every morning! We have a good neighborhood watch..........- Questing

Hand cannon project
We have a 12 yr old Cocker that sleeps w/us. And she's had a few maladies in the past 2-3 years. Can't imagine life w/o a canine. She is a connoisseur of rabbit and cat **** which also makes her sick. I would like a Lab, but our 2 last Cockers have never given us and everyone around us...- Questing

We will be shooting it, but not hunting w/it. You witnessed my local experienced BP expert's instructions. It was more than I expected, but it's turned out worth it. A piece of functioning history. And like all of our firearms, treasured, cleaned, and occasionally home tuned carefully. We...- Questing

Furniture 90-95%. Critiques? Did any spots get missed? It looks a lot better than before.................need to replace the barrel end cap, brass tore in a couple spots. Next is barrel and action. Since I'm still a BP n00b, receptive to suggestions.........- Questing

The store mgr contacted the owner and he said to let me check out the gun. No looseness in action, put a bore light in flash hole and bore looked good w/rifling crisp. Barrel stamped .41. My caliper said .4100" The burl oak furniture is nice. Have been gently polishing the brass. My...- Questing

Will that "solidify"? Been thinking putting tin foil on a cookie sheer, then the wadding, brush it on both sides and let it cool. Cut up and put a few in a zip lock bag and go practice this summer. Have only found .395 balls, so will need a bit thicker cloth. The local Hobby Shop showed me...- Questing

Welcome! Am also a noob as far as BP goes. Am working on a threaded .41 flintlock Kentucky Rifle we picked up at a local antique dealer. I saw it and fell in love. Would like to shoot it this Summer. We shoot modern long and short arms at least monthly. At least have a local BP expert @ a...- Questing

Cabela's and Bass Pro
I was fond of them because of their 1911 A1 in stock guns. All of their clothes are off shore now. Even Levis are made overseas now.......... And ammo pricing is only if you need an emergency box or so. On line ammo is cheaper and ships faster. I hear ya!- Questing

Cabela's and Bass Pro
We've bought many modern guns the last 3-4 years from Bass Pro, and it did get to be a pain when you couldn't check the action because of a trigger lock. But the most irritating is ordering a firearm and having it shipped to the central warehouse in Missouri first, then a week or so later, they...- Questing
