I usually hunt with a percussion muzzleloader. Typically my 1858 Enfield which is a Parker Hale Repro. Last year I looked for flintlocks but they were old junk people were selling for way too much money. I am looking for a rifle to hunt White Tail deer on the Potomac River in Sharpsburg...

As of right now I only have one muzzleloader that being my Parker Hale .577 Two band. I love it but I dont want to take it into the deer woods. I would like to get a nice flintlock long rifle like what used to be the norm in the late 18th/early 19th centuries. A local gun and pawn shop across...

Noted I did not know these rifles were muzzle heavy. I guess I should wait for a rifle to come up for sale here then.

Thanks for the input I would have never been able to tell it was a kit rifle.

That is the exact rifle

I have a few questions to ask about a rifle I found on one of the guns sales sites. It is a Dixie Gun Works Tennessee Mountain Rifle in .50 caliber and is Flintlock. The rifle looks to have a good stock and ramrod as well as a good bore. However, the barrel has rust about 2 inches from the...

The gentleman said his grandson already has an 1861 Enfield and an 1863 Justice Rifle (whatever that is). As the gentleman said he wants his buisness done first.

Ive never used it, the guy who is giving me the PH P58 as part of his payment threw in 6 cans of 100ct Musket 4 wing caps, a .577 Lee Minié ball...

What is your load ? Does that Say 42 grains Hog ? Like Hogdon powder ?

I have just recently joined the forum and have my eyes set on getting an Enfield muzzleloading rifle in .577 caliber. Id rather have an original but a good reproduction will do. A man from Virginia came to my family's metal shop and asked if he could trade me a Parker Hale P58 rifle to drop down...

Dont worry about that, I want to get either an 1803 Harper's Ferry Rifle or an 1807 Contract Rifle maybe even a 1792 in place of the 1807. I just dont have time to build on of those Rifle Shoppe kits nor do I know of any gun buiders with time on their hands to build the kit. For now however im...

New forum member from Sharpsburg, Maryland. Just joined today to gain some knowledge about muzzleloaders. Never owned one before but definitely want to get into it. Living near Antietam Battlefield has always had me interested in thr guns that spew clouds of smoke.
