    Cap and ball break down

    Hi, I know that the cleaning process of c&b revolvers has been covered by looking at old posts. The question that I have is do the guys who say they completly take down their guns really take them all the way apart, or just remove the barrel, cylinder, and grips? If they take them all the way...

    Better Hunter with BP

    Since I stared using BP during shotgun season here in Ohio I find my self taking better shots and and harvesting more deer. I take fewer shots but much better shots knowing I have only one. In years past I might have taken bad shots thinking I would have a chance at a follow up shot. Now I...

    T/C Warranty work

    Great service again from TC. Sent in my fl hawken that the stock had developed a small crack. Rifle came back in one week looking brand new. New stock and lock and brass furniture. I love their service. Just wish they made more traditional guns James

    I am sorry. Things here will never change. I will not speak on this subject again. James

    Scopes on MLers......again

    As stated it wont be easy but it could be done. It is not fair that the traditional guys had their season hijacked but that is the reality. How would we start? James

    Pyrodex P

    Someone gave me a pound of pyrodex P. Can I use this in my .50cal Renegade? Do I need to reduce the charge? Thanks James

    Scopes on MLers......again

    I am in favor of a seperate traditional ML season. No inlines, no 209, no pellets, no sabots, no scopes. Sidelock, round ball, loose powder only. I dont care if this is a new season, or the present one. I dont care if the modern ML hunters keep the present one (which we can still use) so...

    Scopes on MLers......again

    You did say "designed to cheat". What did you mean? As far as forcing them to use a muzzle loader, they cant use center fire. As far as a traditional ML season, I still think that limiting them to side lock and round ball would lead to more people trying traditional ML hunting and it might...

    Scopes on MLers......again

    Jumpshot, they are not cheating, it is very legal. They dont need a defense. While I may think it unfair as to their equipment, I always jump at the chance to convert them to a more traditional method of hunting by example, not force. Having a traditional only ML season would mean they would...

    Scopes on MLers......again

    When I first started hunting during ML season I did see it as just as another season/chance to get a deer. I used a moderen ML. Things changed for me. Back then I only had one moderen ML and used it only for that season. Now I have 4 sidelocks and one of them has three barrells. Now I use...

    Scopes on MLers......again

    I did not think about the reallocation of tags. In Ohio we use the same tags for all seasons: bow, shotgun, ML. I realize all states are not like this. I have not been ML hunting long enough to feel that the modern guys hijacked the season. Moderen ML's have always been around in my hunting...

    Scopes on MLers......again

    Jumpshot I dont feel that you are arguing with me. I have enjoyed learning from this forum and its many points of view. Creating a new ML season for the modern guys and keeping the current ML season for traditional ML hunters would also (in my opinion) work. I made the switch to sidelock...

    Scopes on MLers......again

    No jab felt. In my state it is now legal to use scopes and modern ML. A change in the law taking away such equipment here would not be looked at as a positive move. However if we were to add a new traditional season, most every hunter I know would be very excited. I would think that a whole...

    Scopes on MLers......again

    In my opinion I think we hit this subject from the wrong angle. Instead of trying to ban equipment from current ML seasons, I think we should be asking for new or additional primative ML seasons. By this I mean round ball, side lock, loose powder, no scope season. Tradional guys would be...

    Thompson Question

    Did Thompson ever make a rifle designed to use musket caps? I dont mean just changing the nipple. Thanks James

    black powder subs

    My friend is retired and on a fixed income and does not use credit cards. He also is very fixed in his ways and wants to be able to go to the local store and buy powder to make his side lock work well. He thinks ordering bp is too much hassel. Next time I pick up real bp I will get an extra...

    black powder subs

    A friend of mine has decided to use his white mountain carbine for deer season this year. He usually uses a different type of bp gun but now feels out of line. He asked me which one of the BP subs is most easiest to ignite in a side lock. I dont know what to tell him since I have used only...
