    FOR SALE Pedersoli Brown Bess Carbine

    This Pedersoli Brown Bess carbine was purchased in the late 70s/early 80s, and given the age it is in very good condition. The stock has no noticeable dings, and the “brass” pieces still have virtually their full coating. The only exceptions would be a little discoloration on the front end of...

    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...

    How far will the hot gases expand?

    I’m designing a muzzleloader. How far will the hot gases from a 0.06” hole expand? I’m not talking about the reach of the jet, but the expansion of the jet (look at the picture). And just for curiosity, how far will the jet travel?

    Muzzleloader Kit

    Hello everyone! I'm new to muzzleloading and recently found out about muzzleloader kits. The ones I'm looking at are the "Traditions" ones as they're fairly cheap.

    Unknown flintlock muzzleloader

    Hello, I recently acquired an old flintlock muzzleloader from my past father-in-law. It appears to be a Kentucky long rifle. The only marking it has is on the barrel, G. I’m not completely worried about the brand as I am the caliber. Using a pair of calipers I measured from land to land and got...
