    Flinter on a grad student budget?

    Oooh :shocked2: I really like the leman style as well, especially since it is a little more robust through the wrist of the stock. So someone educate me, what is the difference between the Tenn/Southern Mtn. rifle style and a Po-Boy style? I think you guys have a good idea. One Zouave is...

    Flinter on a grad student budget?

    My percussion guns are both Zouaves. I think it might be a little hard to convert those, bc they have a HUGE snail drum that would have to be relieved.

    Flinter on a grad student budget?

    Well I don't have anything I'm willing to spend until mid May. But Im thinking in the ball park of $500. I'd really like to have as much quality for this amount as possible.

    Flinter on a grad student budget?

    Been shooting BP for a while now with a couple percussion rifles I got in College. But for the last couple years I have REALLY wanted to get into a flinter. Problem is, now I am completely impoverished by Law School and have very little money to do anything but buy groceries. But this summer I...

    Fur hats and hunting?

    When it gets real cold I often wear a fur hat (shapka) I picked up when I was in Russia. I actually have two, one mink, the other muckrat. This isnt the kind of thing that really breaks up the profile though. But I did get within spitting distance of several does while wearing it. I hunt on...

    What Happen?

    Sounds like it was the consequence of a light for caliber projectile, having to first penetrate a more hevily muscled area followed by needing to penetrate more dense bone prior to entering the vital cavity. From the sound of it you were getting just enough penetration to cause dammage to the...

    Zoli English Sporting Rifle

    That thought crossed my mind, My zoli zouave is actually a CVA with a zoli barrel. It could be that this is the same kind of deal. But no other maker's marks redily stood out at me. I may have to go back and look at it again but I think that the only manufacturer id was Zoli. It didn't look...

    Zoli English Sporting Rifle

    I was at a local shop today and spotted a .50 cal replica of a English Sporing Rifle. It looked much like this http://www.trackofthewolf.com/(S(wwuk2e55ddrvsvif4gyp3fnr))/categories/partList.aspx?catID=13&subID=80&styleID=1119 The barrel was marked Antonio Zoli with but no reference to rifle...

    Deticated Conical Rifle

    I don't think anyone was poking fun at you about the word "deticated". I believe all the ridicule in this topic has been directly aimed at my original misspelling of the word dedicated. For everyone else, I believe these grammar lessons have run their course and that in order to prevent...

    Deticated Conical Rifle

    Right. I incorrectly spelled dedicated. :hatsoff:

    Deticated Conical Rifle

    Well to save myself the embarrassment I would side with Headhunters argument. But in all honesty I misspelled dedicated. My only defense is that that I have spent a couple of years studying the Russian language and it kind of messes with how I think about phonetic spelling sometimes. Also...

    Deticated Conical Rifle

    Headhunter, Thats a nice rifle. The butplate looks like a Lyman but it looks to have a full length stock. Also the sideplate appears to have two screws. If so that would rule out it being a GPR I think. What is she?

    Deticated Conical Rifle

    What is the make of the lighter rifle you mentioned? I have seen a Jegar kit sold by Dixie Gun Works that advertises a 1-26 twist barrel. Would you say that is too quick. Just trying to get an idea for what works and what doesnt. Also do you know if Lyman makes a .54 GP Hunter in flintlock...

    Deticated Conical Rifle

    The nature and spirit of my post is to specifically inquire upon the charachteristics of a rifle expressly "deticated":grin: to the accurate projectoin of conical rather than pached round ball bullets. Semantics :yakyak:

    Deticated Conical Rifle

    I think I want to put together a deticated conical muzzle loader in .54 caliber to use next deer season. I live in Texas where deer are big and like the extra nock down power of the heavier bullets :) Actually I just like the big hole it makes and power of the heavier bullet. At any rate I...

    Hey there blacksmiths

    Well you can prett much make them into anything depending on how much hammering you want to do. One of my old favorites was to cut the horse shoe in the middle and make a spoon and fork set using the curved ends, with the holes, as handles. You can make a pretty good letter opener if you are...

    Flint or Perc.?

    Thanks for all the input fellas. Im not too worried about being able to get things ligned up right. I do have a little experience with low tollerance mechanical projects from my past. Ofcourse this may be a totally different deal and that experience may not apply. But you have all made very...

    Flint or Perc.?

    First off I have to say I love how you guys are alwayse so nice to newbies. In the last topic I posted we discussed different options I had in selecting my first black powder firearm kit. One thing I failed to discuss, however, was whether I should go with a flinter or a percussion. I have...
