    Rain down the barrel?

    Hey guys 17 years old from Nova Scotia here. I know getting debris in the barrel of your rifle can be catastrophic so you need to make the sure the muzzle out of the mud and everything. I’m wondering if the same danger applies to rain? I’d like to take a walk in the woods with my muzzleloader...

    Matchlock hunting?!?

    Fellers been arguing at work for years about whether or not a matchlock is suitable for hunting critters that have noses, with the majority opinion being that burning match smells too strongly to allow deer to come close enough to shoot. I got one already this season, so with the pressure off, I...

    New to muzzleloading!

    I Hunt with my dad's Marlin 336 in 35rem most of the time, or with a .223 AR-15, but I've been getting into the idea of hunting the muzzle loader season. I bought a traditions deer hunter kit I'm going to build and try to hunt with next year. If I can get my groupings good, I'll move onto an...

    Parker productions traditional hunter conical

    Has anyone tried the parker productions traditional hunter bullets? They are pretty pricey at $16 for 10 bullets, they offer a 580 gr in .54 cal. They look promising but I haven't been able to find any reviews or seen anything about them.

    “The Killer of Wolves” Folding Stock Flintlock Blunderbuss

    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...

    WITHDRAWN Looking for a larger smooth bore flintlock

    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.

    Pushing For More Reasonable Hunting Regulations?

    (any mentions of fixed ammo are just for comparison and frame of reference, so don't gig me for that) Let's face it, the United States is a mess when it comes to regulation. That is no more apparent than when one looks into the hunting regulations of the various states. Most are highly...

    Good place to buy a Jaeger rifle stocks?

    I have recently been persuaded away from building a dog lock musket. So I have been looking into building a Jaeger rifle instead. Track of the wolf has a large amount of parts, but they don't seem to have a stock for them. I'm planning on using a 31" .69cal swamped octagon barrel, and there...

    1st Model Dragoon Field Companion

    This spring I purchased a 1st model Uberti Dragoon from a very nice gentleman member here. And I thought some of you folks might enjoy some pictures and stories from my time with the big horse pistol. I have really gotten to know my Dragoon this summer while packing her around the ranch...

    Pedersoli SxS Questions

    Hey, To get started, I wasn't sure what forum category this fit under, but hopefully this one will work. Now that that's out of the way; I'm just about to pull the trigger on a Pedersoli SxS but just wanted to do a little homework before I dive into it. I'm no stranger to BP, but this will be...
