    "liquid" bore butter

    No liquid version is produced for retail sale. In Nevada it gets so hot that sometimes my tube of Bore Butter will turn from paste into liquid. Somehow I think that a spray Bore Butter just wouldn't go on the gun quite right. Bore Butter is designed to be solid at "room temperature" which I...

    Paper Cartridges

    Are there any companies that make the old paper cartridges used in war where the end was bit off? If not, has anyone had any luck making paper cartridges?

    Warning to Canadian Flintlock owners

    I just read the Canadian gun laws and wow, I am completely blown away. I always just assumed that handguns and semi automatics were the targets of Canadian gun laws. I was just flabbergasted when I read the part about black powder pistols and percussion guns being regulated. What, do they think...

    Warning to Canadian Flintlock owners

    Just for a side note, some stories... There is an awesome story where a man named Redmond or something in the 19th century in America was approached by a law enforcement agent who attempted to arrest him without a warrant, he responded by shooting him in the face. Later law enforcement caught...

    Production matchlocks

    Are there any production ( non-special order ) production matchlocks of Japanese or English type available anywhere? I once saw a Japanese Replica on Dixiegunworks, but it has since disappeared. Or maybe no matchlocks are made production anymore?

    Sources of Black Powder

    Anyone else here from Reno, NV? Not a single gun store I have been to carries real black powder. I have found a few websites to order from, but they only take large orders and charge a big hazmat fee. So does anyone know where to get powder in Reno, NV? Even if I had to drive two hours to...

    Suggestion for caplock pistol

    Actually I have held both the Trapper and the Kentucky. My hands are actually quite small for a guy so the Trapper seems too big for me.

    Suggestion for caplock pistol

    Speaking on the Traditions Trapper... I was in a gun store looking at this pistol and the lock broke while doing routine manipulations of the trigger and hammer. The counter guy was shocked and he couldn't get it to work either after that. I was worried that he would blame me, but he didn't...

    Suggestion for caplock pistol

    I am looking into getting a caplock single-shot pistol in 50cal. I've narrowed down my search to either Lyman Great Plains Pistol, Pedersoli Kentucky Pistol, or Traditions Kentucky Pistol. Which one would you choose? Any other choices I might have missed? FYI - I am looking for a current...

    Swabbing between shots

    What do you guys use for swabbing between shots? Retail stuff or some concation? Do you run a dry patch after a cleaning patch?

    Questions about sabots

    I have heard of people saying that you can shoot pistol bullets in a sabot. Does this literally mean you can load a cast 45acp conical in a sabot into a 50cal muzzleloader? If I were to want to cast conicals for loading into sabots what is the best type of bullet to cast for that purpose?

    Limitations of Pydrodex

    I have heard that Pyrodex does not ignite well in flintlocks. I have also heard that it doesn't even work well in #11 percussion guns. I have heard that it only works in in-line rifles. How true are these statements? Any experience/opinions? I am asking because I haven't found a source of black...

    Traditions Deerhunter Flintlock

    Anybody know anything about the Traditions Deerhunter Flintlock. I am looking at getting one ( 50 cal, nickel and synthetic ). I am on a limited budget and can not fork out the money for a Lyman flintlock. Is this rifle worth getting? Should I just stick to caplocks for the time being? Any one...
