    Help identifying unique flintlock pistol!

    Hey guys, I recently stumbled upon an intriguing flintlock pistol that looks like it might be from the late 1600s-early 1700s. I believe the pistol is a 65 cal., has a part round part octagon smoothbore barrel measuring 12 3/8”. The lock is marked “K&C”. I have seen a similar example online...

    Bad influences

    Is what you folks are. I could have pocketed this money and squirreled it away for a rainy day. But everyone's pictures of beautiful woodsrunners, colonials, and southern mountain rifles was finally too much to bear. After weeks of agonizing over woodsrunner/ colonial, .54 or .58, and which...

    Caliber Opinions. First Build

    I'm getting close to ordering a kit. Flintlock for sure. Lancaster or Colonial style. I haven't decided which kit or from whom, but that's not the point of this thread. My question is, .50 or .54. I'm not too concerned with historically correct calibers, but if I can get close, which one would...
