    http://blog.davide-pedersoli.com/shooting-an-original-18th-century-flintlock-short-rifle/ Although the M.1787 Hussar Carbine was essentially a stocked, smoothbored pistol barrel and used by hussars who would seldom ever be involved in gun combat, although the 10 'Karabiners' of each squadron...

    Antelope rifle

    Flagging works best from late September to mid October. Just tie a handkerchief to the muzzle and wave back and forth till ole George notices...then just up and down occasionally to keep his attention as he closes in. Appears to appeal to their curiosity, territoriality and herd dominance...or...

    How to stain a hemp belt.

    Even better...let the grandkids play with it unsupervised a day or four...if they're like mine, they can unravel a cannon ball if you just leave them alone a while! End of the week end it'll look just finely weahtered. :shocked2: :headslap: :rotf:

    Cool! Belleville is an old town with a lot of history. Fort Chartres in a bit farther down the river with another century of French History beyond that. My grandparents live at Signal Hill, the border between Belleville and East St. Louis. My folks went to see about my Mom's Mother who had a...

    Flint pistols

    Again it's going to depend on the style you choose but early in the 1700's pistols tended more toward 12" barrels and this shortened to more like 9" but mid century...this being in standard flintlock pistols. The Queen Anne types ran a bit shorter for their charging system allowed better...
