    Two piece full stocks

    The two-piece stocks were toto get more economical use of their wood. Short pieces of wood are cheaper than long pieces.

    Dixi Gun Works Disappoints.

    It's been that way for years. For decades, I heard people refer to the as "Dixie Junk Works". I think I stopped buying from them about 1982 or so. They used to carry stuff that was hard to find or one-off but those items were sold off a long time ago. The only thing that's kept them in business...

    That Evil Ember

    As someone who works on the shooting side of the firearms industry, I can tell you that any range that carries insurance is going to enforce safety protocols. The "gold standard" that everyone goes by is the NRA, who defers to the NMLRA when it comes the muzzleloading. Where are you going to...

    That Evil Ember

    It violates NMLRA, NRA, and a host of other organizations' range rules. I learned to do it myself when I started shooting in the 70s, but things change.

Keep in mind, our county is 1000 Sq miles bigger than the State of Connecticut but we only have about 49000 residents. Only a few of us have any experience with rendezvous, buckskinning, or living history...

    Keeping Muzzleloading Alive

    I completely agree. As a professional RSO and firearms instructor, I could see multiple red flags from the very beginning in that case. There were several firearms present that violated BSA policy, one of which was involved in the fatality. Ive spoken with some of the leadership in New Mexico...

    Keeping Muzzleloading Alive

    Unfortunately, BSA does not allow the use of flintlocks. Also not allowed are matchlocks, wheellocks, or "homemade"/custom firearms. I'm currently looking into the rational and hopefully advocating for exceptions to policy. Since the range fatality in Hawaii and resulting lawsuit, BSA is...

    Thanks for the add. I've been shooting muzzleloaders since about 1977 and am the NMLRA Field Rep. for the State of New Mexico.

    While that was done in the past, it is no longer an acceptable behavior on the line. In fact, it's a good way to get kicked off the shooting line of any organizational match
