    Tickled with my new (old) GPR - anything I should check for before shooting?

    As a gunsmith, you have gone above and beyond! I applaud you sir! If you treat your firearms this way, they will always serve you well. Congrats on your purchase, it sounds like you got a true gem! Most GPR were a 1:66 twist if I remember correctly, sounds like you got one with a little faster...

    Need a permit to purchase a BP revolver?

    Replace the cylinder. Stupid, but the law says if the the firearm can be “readily converted”. And that cylinder does it.

    Need a permit to purchase a BP revolver?

    Amusing/Ridiculous Muzzleloading Misconceptions...

    This is actually a real thing the morons in WA State get concerned about. They have delayed and suspended a season before because they were worried it was too dry and would start fires.

    Gaaah! Help! Can't get stuck ball out

    Most all wheel weights these days are zinc, not lead. That might be part of the problem.

    Fort Niagara Pipe Hawk

    Gonna need more to this story I think!!!!

    Cannons arrived :-)

    I think what they are referring too, is not your overall construction. Rather, they are concerned that the welds on the trunnions might not withstand the repeated forces place on them when shooting projectiles. The proof house will only test your barrel, not the carriage or the trunnions. Even...

    Tomahawk and Knife Fighting

    I politely disagree. I have been involved with the extensive research that states that this is false in certain circumstances. You will simply fall back on muscle memory. If you're well trained, your muscles retain their training and your fine motor skills are, well, still fine. However, it...
