smoothbore

Well, I finally did it. After lusting over it for the better part of a year, I finally broke down and bought the Pecatonica Blunderbuss parts set. http://longrifles-pr.com/blunderbuss.shtml I'm very new at this muzzleloader building stuff, but I figure this should be a good learning...

Hey guys, I recently stumbled upon an intriguing flintlock pistol that looks like it might be from the late 1600s. It appears to be a .60 cal. and has an 11 1/2” barrel. Any help will be greatly appreciated, as always thank y’all!

Hey guys, I recently stumbled upon an intriguing flintlock pistol that looks like it might be from the late 1600s-early 1700s. I believe the pistol is a 65 cal., has a part round part octagon smoothbore barrel measuring 12 3/8”. The lock is marked “K&C”. I have seen a similar example online...

Hello, I am interested in purchasing a functional medieval Handgonne, or having one commissioned to be made. I am looking for one which can be mounted onto a tiller. I am not looking for a specific caliber, nor does it have to be in new condition, or 'professionally' made. My only hard...

I put a video together from a fun rabbit hunt on Saturday Feb 12. Hope you enjoy

Thought I'd post some pics of a trade gun I just completed. Pecatonica supplied it. I went with a Chambers Virginia rather than the L&R Queen Anne like I had on my first trade gun. They didn't have butt plates in stock, well nobody does I guess ...so I made one from sheet brass and nailed it on...

I'm looking for help on my next purchase. I've long been into the idea of hunting small game with a muzzleloader but I'm stuck on what I should spend my hard earned money on. Additionally, I'm unsure if a flintlock or percussion would suit me better. Smoothbore is a must, but other than that I...

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...

Looking for recommendations for a quality Northwest Trade Rifle kit.

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...

In the 18th century smoothbores did NOT use a patched ball, the ball was loaded in the same way as using shot, with wads or wadding. An Essay On Shooting 1789.
