    Cleaning Lunatic

    An old timer told me he cleans his BP revolvers with rubbing alcohol. I decided to give it a try on my longarm flinter. It works really well and I haven't gone back to soap/water since! (It's nice to not have to worry about getting all the moisture out of your barrel!) That being said, those...

    Do you have a name for your gun?

    What is it and how did you end up naming it that?

    Lyman Hunter Sights

    I'm sorry, I should have been a little more specific with my original post. I'm having a really hard time with my sights being fuzzy. They'll be clear for just a little and then I can hardly see my front sight anymore and everything is a blur. I've tried focusing on the front sight, moving my...

    Lyman Hunter Sights

    So after 4 years of just casual target shooting with friends, I decided I should get serious and see if I can get a load worked up for my gun and sight it in for big game. Tonight showed me what I knew for four years already! I can't stand the factory sights on my Traditions Shenandoah. Can't...

    Questions on Miroku Ultra-Hi Kentucky

    Oh yeah, and does anyone know how to remove the barrel without damaging the wood? It's probably straightforward, but I've never done it before. Thanks!

    Questions on Miroku Ultra-Hi Kentucky

    Hello, I picked up one of these a while ago with the two piece stock. Someone gave it the works, but I got it cheap! I bought it off of craigslist as a wallhanger. I don't want to put much money in it, but I think I'm gonna try to fix it up a bit. Of course the bore was a bit rusty. Someone...

    Bought a wallhanger today

    Howdy, I bought a gun today. I found it on craigslist as a "non-working wallhanger" It is a Ultra-hi Japanese Miroku Percussion .45 cal. It had been hanging on this guys wall for 10 years. Paid $45 for it which is probably a bit high considering it's shape! It is drilled and tapped for a scope...

    Long gun displaying

    For what it's worth, Laura Ingalls Wilder in her book, "Little House on the Praire" (time period circa 1860's) mentions "Pa" putting his gun above the door after he'd finished loading it. I know it's fiction and based on Laura's later recollections, but there is some interesting notes in there...

    Looking for ideas and pictures!

    Hello, I've been thinking about building a flintlock pistol from scratch. Looking for something circa 1820 - 1845 ish. I know flintlock was in the process of being replaced at this time, but I'm sure they were still around. Probably even styles from previous years wouldn't be a strech. Am...

    Do any of your use a brush to clean your gun?

    Thanks guys - some real good advice! I think I'll pick a few brushes up. I also like the idea of plugging the touchhole/nipple to keep the water in there longer when your tryin to clean it - why didn't I think of that before!!!! Thanks again! Flinter
