What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

I have taken that under advisement and will do a better job next time. I just wasn't all that proud of my shooting.

You don’t have to be proud of your shooting. Just be proud that you’re shooting!

Today, I had the opportunity to talk about early American firearms at the fall state meeting of the Kentucky Society U.S. Daughters of 1812 held at First Vineyard Winery near Nicholasville, KY. Yes...all 4 black powder guns were "NOT" loaded and "yes" the ladies were interested in the history of those guns!

Thanks bud ... The first few trade guns I had problems with the nails backing out so ... I found these round nails with things like rings down the length of em ... I get them now and grind the round heads square ... They dont back out , knock on wood , thank goodness ...

Ring shank nails. That's a great idea. Thank You

I would buy a traditions kit not as pricy as the others they go together very easily and shoot as good or better then any other kit out there that being said the locks can be hit or miss but are worth the added effort to have them tuned. you might talk to the people at Deer Creek or log cabin shop they may tune it for you if you buy the kit from them

How do I find these 2 shops

Welcome too the Forum Mr Powell

The Log Cabin shop is in Lodi Ohio
And Deer Creek is in Walden Indiana..

The Log Cabin is actually a black powder gun shop while Deer Creek is more of a mail order or Internet service.

They do have a small display area, but not what I wold call a shop.

I hope this helps you somewhat..
There’s always Dixie Gun Works down here in Tennessee as well…

I hope you find what you’re looking for and I’m sure your Granddaughter will cherish it from now on.👍

Good Luck

Smo

PS
Deer Creek does set up in Tip Curtis’s old building at Friendship during the Spring & Fall shoot

So far today I I've coned another barrel. This one is my TC 45 barrel that has done very well in local matches. I'm coning it enough to make it easier to start a tight combo. This gun has never cut patches but I did do the old thumb round off trick after coning.

Before

after

445 ball. Of course it doesn't drop in like this with a patch.

I also am trying a mod to the sights. I outlined the rear sight the same way. Too bright??? I have a lot of acrylic paints so maybe a continuing experiment.
