    Top Shot's

    I've been watching several episodes of Top Shot season 4 and have a problem with some of the info given on some guns. For instance, the host states that the Kentucky flintlock pistol got that name because they were so popular in that state and that they were used from the F&I War all the way...

    Meaning of "hc/pc"?

    I'm guessing it means "historically correct/period correct". I hate to think folks on here on referring to "politically correct". Just wanting to get terminology straight. Another term I learned recently is "farb". In all the events I went to in the past I never heard that one before. However, I...

    gun myths

    I was born in Ohio and my granddad always called me Buckeye. Does that count? I also have a couple of them laying around somewhere that my dad gave me many years ago. Hard to find in Texas.

    Furniture metals & barrel finishes?

    I guess I did leave that wide open. I'm thinking a common man's smoothbore, perhaps an English fowler of approx 20 gauge. Persona of a 1st generation American from Irish immigrants moving his family progressively south. I like the looks of an iron finished gun with a browned barrel, but if brass...

    Furniture metals & barrel finishes?

    Let's say 1740s-1770s, which furniture metal was more commonly used on civilian smoothbores, such as an English fowler or fusil de chasse? Also, were most new barrels in the white and left to naturally rust/brown, or browned by the builder, or blued? I've been shooting a long time, but have...

    Muzzleloader or modern?

    Time for more clarification. As I said in my OP, "I love my modern guns" and lean toward NATO rounds for availability (9mm and 5.56), 12 gauge, as well as .22lr. I guess I was thinking more of getting game rather than home and personal defense against those who would want to take what I have. If...

    Muzzleloader or modern?

    This is actually a muzzleloader question: For those who do any level of "prepping", how many of you keep a significant supply of muzzleloading fixins' on hand? Also what guns would you rely on? I love my modern guns, but if it came down to it, what muzzleloader would you be the most dependent on?

    Annoyed

    Dry ball? Wet powder? On some guns you can unscrew the breech plug (I can)to get a really good look and clean everything out. On others it's darn near impossible and highly not reccommended to try, but a competent gunsmith should be able to do it.

    diamond shelters

    There was a thread quite recently on that very topic with some good pics and links. I didn't take the time to look it up on the search, but I'm sure it's easy enough to find.
