    fowler style trigger guard on a rifle?

    I don't post often on here,but I lurk a lot.Lots of good info.Anyhow,I'm in the process of starting another rifle.In some of my archive pics,I have a few rifles that have a fowler triggerguard,some even with set triggers.I've always liked the look,but am wondering if this is historically correct...

    Hunting w/ Minie Ball

    Thanks for the replies. My biggest worry was how they would hold up with heavier charges, say 90 - 100 grs.I'm still thinking about what route I want to take.

    Hunting w/ Minie Ball

    Hey all, I haven't posted here in some time.I usually do more reading than posting.Anyhow, I want to buy a mold for one of my .50 rifles.I've always cast round balls, but never any conicals.I'm thinking of getting a Lee improved Minie mold.Anyone ever use these for hunting?I'm sure they'll kill...

    Pedersoli Frontier question

    Anyone have experience with the Pedersoli Frontier (or Cabelas Blueridge) flintlocks, good, bad, or otherwise?I'm considering getting one, not sure what caliber, .45 or .54.I'll make my mind up on caliber later, but I'm curious about the quality of the rifle.Is it accurate and well built?It...

    "Kit" questions

    Hey, got a couple questions.I really want to put together a flintlock longrifle.I've pretty well settled on putting something together from Track Of The Wolf.But, I've never put together any kind of kit before.I'm pretty adept at woodwork, so that doesn't scare me.I'm more worried about any...

    .40 caliber on deer?

    Thanks all.I think you've talked me int trying a .45 instead of a .40.Just didn't want a .50.I want something a little different than the average Joe has, although I think anything that is not an inline probably fills that gap.But I also want something that is effective on deer.Thanks again!

    Powder question

    Thanks for the feedback.I did plan on using actual black powder, but didn't know substitutes wouldn't work.I was more worried about the proper granulation for priming powder, which everyone seems to agree that FFFG is OK to use.Thanks again, and thanks for the patience.

    Powder question

    I'll begin by saying I have no flintlock experience, but plan on changing that.So if this is a stupid question, forgive me.My question is this.Can I use FFFG powder as pan powder?I cannot find FFFFG anywhere, and I have read that is the proper powder to use.I can find FFFG and FFG powder...

    Thanks for the welocome! Snake eyes, I'm from around Lima (allen county).The hunting isn't the greatest, but I manage to do alright and I go to Morgan and Vinton counties a couple times each fall for some serious hunting.I'll have to look up Reynoldsburg, I've heard of it, but I'm not sure what...

    .40 caliber on deer?

    Has anyone used .40 caliber muzzleloaders on deer with a roundball(not sure if conicals are even available for .40)? Iwant to get a flintlock in .45 or .40, but I don't know if the .40 is effective on deer.It is legal here in Ohio, but I want to make sure I can get humane kills with one before...

    Hey everyone!

    Hi, I'm new to this forum.After hunting with an inline for years, I've really been bitten by the traditional bug.I'm thinking of trying to put together a flintlock longrifle of some variety, but I have a lot of questions.After searching for a while for a good ML forum, I think I've finally found...
