flintlock

Hello, new member here. I have owned a Traditions full stock flintlock since the mid 90's, and fired it irregularly. After moving from the PNW (largely due to firearms regulation) to West Virginia, I was looking to do a build of a traditional early Pennsylvania rifle. I spent COVID de-Bubba-ing...

Hello, I’m new to black powder rifles. I moved from the US to Canada and bought a flintlock so I could hunt with a firearm without a firearms license. I bought a modern replica of a .50 Hawkin rifle. The only powder I can find right now is ffffg for priming powder and fg for the main charge...

I have for sale this nice rifle made by Rod Gates of Cross Timbers, Missouri about 30 or 35 years ago. It has always been well cared for with minor use imperfections. It has harvested many whitetails, flintlock is reliable, it shoots straight and has nice wood. Rod estimated the value $1,500...

I am around the Bozeman area of Montana, is there anywhere near here or even near Billings or so where I could find real Black Powder, and not substitutes? Any help would be appreciated, thank you!

I'm starting a Moravian inspired build. I'll use this post as a build along. The picture below is a photo of an Andrew Albrecht rifle. I scaled it up to make a pattern. Checking the parts look right. My friend and teacher cutting the pattern. Cutting the basic shape of the stock

Hello everyone, I was wondering if materials like an old cotton t-shirt or even raw cotton were effective as wads for flintlock shooting.

Hello everyone, I was wondering if materials like an old cotton t-shirt or even raw cotton were effective as a patch for flintlock shooting.

I’ve not seen many like this one before, this original flintlock blunderbuss is the great grandfather of the modern folding stocked shotgun, but with more style. Much like in the Western US in the early 20th century, Wolves were hunted to near extinction in Italy by the mid 1800s. Muzzleloaders...

I've been wanting a military style flintlock for some time now, but I don't want to pay a full price for a new pistol from companies like pedersoli. I am especially looking for a 1777 pistol, AN XIII pistol, gendarmerie pistol, and AN IX pistol. But, I am looking for anything of the sort that is...

I've been interested in the whole craft of muzzleloading for many years. Even down to fabricating tools and jigs in the gun building workshop. Lately, I've been fascinated by this touch hole counter sink tool. And upon close inspection, it seems like it would be easy to duplicate. Question is...

Hello all, just getting back into BP after a very long absence. I have been putting together my kit over time with the little stuff first. I hope to have a flintlock by summer - most likely a Traditions of some flavour. Lot's of knowledge here and I look forward to learning all over again...

Recently I bought a brown Bess carbine (pedersoli) and noticed it has some gouging issues(?). I'm new to flintlocks and I'm unsure if this level of cutting is normal. The frizzen throws an excellent shower of sparks, though. I'm just worried this gouging is abnormal and prematurely wearing the...

Hi I am selling my COMPLETELY custom muzzleloader. It is a .45 caliber with a rifled barrel perfect for shooting patched round balls accurately. This rifle was hand built by a master gun builder old man about 40 years ago. Early Lancaster .45 cal Douglas premium grade barrel, double set...

Howdy all, I was wondering if any of you might have a custom built smoothbore. Looking for a 20 gauge .62 or larger preferably. But not opposed to .54 and up either. For Turkey and goose hunting. Thank you in advance.

Hello all, I recently acquired a smooth bore 16gauge flintlock muzzleloader from a 95 year old farmer. He said that it has been in his family for many generations. Had no children to pass it on to. So he wanted it to go to good use and a good home. He said it was built in 1796. It has a Damascus...

Hi all, I am new here and this is my first post. I’m looking for help with the trigger on my gun. When squeeze the main trigger, the hammer will fall, strike the plate, and ignite. When I have the hammer cocked and set the set trigger first then fire the main trigger, the hammer hangs up at the...

Great condition. I believe this is circa 1910ish. Jean Delcour-Dupont makers mark. He was a Belgium master barrel maker. There is actually a silent film of him making the barrels in wooden shoes. The star over the F mark is I believe Alexandre Lambert. Lots of nice detailing in the stock...

I’ve had this old flintlock for several years and by researching can determine it dates to 1958. It looks complete and in nice shape, I can send better photos later. I have to start selling off a large collection of guns and was trying to get an idea of a reasonable asking price for this. All I...
