First deer I've shot with blackpowder, had to sort through about 10 does before I decided she was the oldest and would have the least impact if I took her for meat. I've heard stories of no bloodtrails with RB however though I didn't need it because she ran only 30 yards these pure lead balls...
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...

Hey guys, I was referred to your subforum from another one, they said I could probably find more information here. Recently, I bought what was advertised as a Second Model Brown Bess from a small dealer up in New England. He said he picked it up at an estate sale in...
I thought you all might like to see a pics of my gun. It was made by my dad, the amazing gunsmith, Larry Cordray. Don't ask me about specs, I just know it is REALLY fun to shoot and has killed many a deer. To me, it is priceless!💜
I have a Kentucky/ Lancaster rifle in 45 cal that I am looking to sale. I am not an expert on these rifles but do know a little about it. I have not shot it and doesn’t appear to have been used, if so not much use. It was handmade by F Burton of NC sometime in the 1970s. Has a gorgeous maple...

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...
Hi. Thanks for accepting me into the group. I’m here mostly to get information about one gun- a Carl Heiser Austrian Lorenz muzzle loader from around 1859.
Howdy all, just wanted to share a few photos of some moose jerky my lady and I are dehydrating in a few days after it soaks! Did a homemade teriyaki, sesame seed, sea salt and garlic, and the small batch is a marinade that I like to call “HOT AS HELL” haha Makes my mouth water already. Any 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...
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?
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. I watched some videos on it but I don't know which one to get. I liked the Kentucky percussion rifle but I don't know if it would be...
Snow and cold has never stopped these good old boys and gals from heading out into the winter woods of Montana for campfire grub and some wet firesticks. History, knowledge shared, laughs, coffee, stew, and plenty of targets to hit or miss - these are the friendly members of the FVML.
If anyone can provide any information on the attached muzzleloader I would greatly appreciate it. If the video does not open properly please cut and paste it in your web browser. Thanks

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...
Time to clean out a few from the gun cabinet to make room for some new ones.
For sale is a very early Replica Arms of Marietta Ohio .44 Caliber Target Pistol. These were sold by them back in the late 60's and early 70's. Made in 1969 by San Marco in Italy. Pistol bore is in very good condition...
