flintlock

Can someone tell me what the fair market value would be for a Bob Roller percussion lock and a Russ Hamm flintlock? Both are new. Well, when I say new, I mean that they were purchased many yeas ago but never used. The Roller lock is stamped Roller 72 which I assume is 1972. Around that time...

Hello everyone, third ever post here. I am wondering if its a good idea to shoot 12 gauge rifled slugs out of my short land Bess. Its kind of just like a minie ball, no? Had a slug dud on me last year so I cut it open and took out the slug. It *just* fits down the barrel its not tight if the...

I purchased a Traditions Pennsylvania rifle a while ago hoping to be well enough to get out and shoot it. Well, that's not happening. Here's the problem..... if I sell or get a decent trade worked out it needs to be near the Louisville Ky area. The rifle is the upgraded version with several...

Hey all you buccaneers and cutthroats! Ever since I got my first Northwest gun, I've been hooked on trade guns. I'm looking for any information on this trade/ slave gun that was recovered from the Whydah Gally wreck. This is the only clear picture I could find on God's green internet of this...

Looking to see if there is any interest in this style of flint wallet. I had my wife sew this first one up and I think it looks very nice. It has two layers of heavy duty pillow ticking and is very strong and durable, and will no doubt hold up to years of Hard use. The wallet holds three flints...

Hello Everyone! My kind-hearted brother gave me a William Kennedy flintlock pistol kit he bought more than 25 years ago and never got around to building. Please have a look at the photos. I've fitted the barrel and tang into the pre-inlet stock. Took about four hours to get that done. Next...

Hi all, My 1:48 TC Hawken (.50 cal) doesn’t seem to shoot PRB particularly well after many patch/lube/powder combinations. Accuracy isn’t horrible but looking for better. Would like to experiment with either the 240 grain Hornady PA Conicals, or the 370 grain TC Maxi-balls next. Anyone have...

Today we're taking a look at the NMLRA Gunmakers Hall Incentive Rifles from Mike Miller and Malchiah Pifer. We can't thank these two craftsmen enough for their contribution and hard work. This year’s gun is a .45 caliber rifle that is patterned after an original Enoch Smith rifle from the late...

I have a used .36 cal Traditions Shenandoah Flintlock Rifle for $550. Has a 1:48 twist and a 33.5" barrel, adjustable buckhorn rear sight, brass blade front sight. Also has an L&R Replacement Lock. I've only shot a few loads through it as it weighs 8 lbs (maybe a little more) and is too heavy...

In this second episode of the Craftsman's Corner from the NMLRA, we follow along with a Muzzle Blasts Article from 1979 to make a cow's knee lock cover to keep your flintlock primed in damp weather conditions. Read the whole tutorial at nmlra.org/craftsmanscorner

Hello Everyone, A friend who is looking to get more info to possibly sell these guns. Any info is appreciated. I'll get better photos in the near future. Thanks, Skarum

After making a Turkish flintlock miquelet, https://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/threads/flintlock-miquelet-repair-turned-into-a-new-project.118517/ I wanted to make a Caucasian flintlock miquelet of the Circassian type. Such locks were installed on pistols and shotguns by Caucasian highlanders

I was asked to make for flintlock miquelet mainspring and frizzen spring

I recently came across this beautiful, custom built swivel breech flintlock at a local gunshop. There are no markings on it at all. I have been told that the rifled barrel is .48 caliber and the smoothbore is .56 caliber. It does not appear to have been fired, if it has it wasn't very often...
