    Who makes the best Brown Bess replica?

    Somewhere around 1990 I purchased a new Pedersoli Brown Bess. Foolishly I sold that gun a few years later. Most of my current flint lock and percussion arms, five, were made by Pedersoli and perform well and I want to obtain another replica Brown Bess. If you were going to purchase one now...

    12 Gauge questions

    Following up on my question about a black powder shotgun with no breech plug. Some background first, over the past five years I have been going blind due to age related macular degeneration or AMD. I have since then given up fly fishing from a canoe, canoeing, fishing from a motor boat, motor...

    12 Gauge questions

    I do not have any way of creating a picture for you folks right now but when one of my sons is over it will happen. Confusion? Try this.... The barrels have a hook to lock into the breach the same as many other black powder guns. Near the muzzles is a brass slide to retain the barrels with...

    12 Gauge questions

    I can load it. It is a percussion black powder muzzle loader missing the plugs. No provision for a cartridge.

    Like looking through binoculars. There is no chance I plan to put powder down these barrels in their present conditions.

    Not mine. No sign theses barrels were ever provided with plugs. Pedersoli will not reply to my emails but previously provided me with a manufacturing date of 2004.

    12 Gauge questions

    I really need some advice. My .50 caliber sxs percussion Pedersoli rifle has breech plugs in the barrel but my 12 gauge sxs percussion Pedersoli shotgun has no breech plugs in the barrel. Why and is this gun safe or a Pedersoli mistake? Thanks. Ken.

    100% agreement with two paddles, actually two of everything essential i.e. two anchors, two lines, etc.

    Thoughts when buying a gun

    When I was single there was a clear message to any girlfriend. I have had guns years, have guns now, and always will. I married only once, 54 years ago. I still have rifles, shotguns, and revolvers, and my first wife!! Ken.

    Casting Help!

    A small piece of bee wax dropped in the hot lead will smoke but then raise impurities to the surface so you can skim them off.

    To go left-handed or not

    Years ago I shot a Pedersoli Brown Bess, a gun that sent a hot flash from the frizen pan, to the right. Shields are available to prevent this problem and the one I installed worked very well. A wood working friend had to adjust to left eye shooting so made a stock with a severe right hand...

    Inconsistent loading resistance

    One time I actually had a .58 cal bb muzzle loader that was marked wrong. It was in reality a .54 cal. I switched ball size and ended the problem. Someone later tried driving down a .58 cal ball with a wooden mallet. He never wondered or checked. Sometimes as previously mentioned a slightly...
