I saw some more wolves. I was beaver hunting with a friend of mine last weekend, we set up an ambush for beavers near their dam about 600m from our car. when we walked in there was fresh snow on the ground. we sat for about 5 hours with no sight of beavers, and then we returned to our car. we...

Congrats on a nice rabbit! I would love to go hunting with a muzzleloader too, but that will still take a few years, as i have to apply for a license for a black powder firearm from my local police station first, and before that i have to figure out which type of permit will i need for a kibler...

Welcome from Lapland, Northern Finland!

In my workplace we had a Nigerian fellow as a trainee who came to hunt with me once. he said that i work in ancient ways when i am out there. I took it as an honor.

I am 33 (physically). My mind is ancient though.

Posted it on Svartkrutt on 31st, no replies since. I guess i am moretheless on my own trying to figure out this thing!

Welcome from Finland!

I would like to try, but as for now bearhunting is heavily debated and probably soon not allowed anymore in finland :/

I have had a couple scary encounters here in Finland. First one was when i was fishing in northern Finland where i have my cabin, and i heard howling. I thought it was someone's dog, as there were lots of bird hunters around. It did cross my mind that i might have been a wolf, but i dismissed it...

Yeah. in swedish muzzleloader is "Mynningsladdare" and caplock rifles are "Slaglåsgevär". i speak fluent-ish norwegian and a little bit of swedish, so it will not be a big task for me to find forums

Hello. I recently acquired an old Swedish percussion smoothbore, that the seller said was from 1850 and made in Sweden, but that is about all info i have on it. I would love to learn more about it, but i think my chances are rather slim to find out the maker, but let's see. I found a stamp...

All i know about it is that it is very gorgeous! I would suspect it was made for hunting.

Vaikka mie olenki siua uuvempi jäsen täälä nin tervetuloa! (in english even though i am newr here than you, welcome!)

I will if i ever find out anything new about this thing! i did find two stamps on it - on both buttplate and triggerguard, both different to each other. i gotta try to hunt down whose's stamps they are to get on the tail of my gun.

Ah damn, autocorrect didn't mess it up, i did it all by myself! :doh: I guess my signature stands it's mark! 😅

I cleaned the lock of my ''new'' approx 1850's made swedish matchlock. Not in shootable condition, as the barrel is pitted by corrosion and trigger spring is broken, but i will have this as a darned pretty decoration. I will forge a new trigger spring for her though. I would love to learn more...

Welcome from Finland! Tervetuloa Suomesta! :)

Well, our UAVs at work actually are fixed wing ones, altough with quad motors for vertical takeoff. as a hobby i have flown only fixed wings and traditional helicopters, i don't own any quadrotors myself as i find them very boring. My biggest plane has 5 meter wingspan (K-8c glider), and it's...
