    Recoil from my Bobby Christian Fowler

    This past weekend I fired my .62 caliber Bobby Christian American Fowler for the first time. I was shooting a .600 ball with a .010 Wonder Patch in front of 70 grains of Ffg Goex. I was shooting from a benchrest at 25 yards. The first two rounds were very low, until I figured out how to aim...

    New gun - browning process still occurring

    I just this week purchased a new Colonial Fowler from TOTW built by gunmaker Bobby Christian. It is a beautifully built gun, but I don't think the gunmaker sufficiently stopped the browning process on the metal parts. If I rub an oiled cloth over the browned surfaces, I get a rust colored...

    Authenticity of Pedersoli Bess

    I need some help here. I've read here and on several other forums that the Pedersoli 2nd Model Brown Bess is not a correct version of the Short Land Pattern Musket. Can someone tell me what is wrong with it? I have Anthony Darling's "Red Coat and Brown Bess", Ahearn's "Muskets of the...

    Original M1816 A. Waters Musket

    Well, I broke down and bought an original Model 1816 Asa Waters Contract Musket on Gunbroker.com. Can't wait to get it! The guy I talked to said he thinks it is probably a reconversion to flintlock, but wasn't for sure. He said he couldn't find any evidence of it having ever been converted to...

    Historical Accuracy of Currently Available British Muskets

    I've got a couple of questions here. I am a long-time black powder shooter, but am a relative novice with British Military Muskets. First question: I just this week recieved a British Military Doglock Musket from Military Heritage. Does anyone know if this is an accurate reproduction of actual...

    MH Military Doglock Musket

    Two weeks ago I ordered the Military Doglock Musket from Military Heritage. They were on back order and didn't expect them in until the end of February. I called them today to make sure that my name was still on their waiting list and found out that the muskets had came in early and they shipped...

    Rebarrel/restore original '63 Springfield

    I'm kinda in a dilema here. I can't decide what to do. I have an original 1863 Springfield that I bought about 25 years ago for $10.00. This musket is one of those Francis Bannerman specials, where they cut off the forearm, shortened the barrel to 33" and bored it out to a shotgun. I am in the...

    Ordered Doglock Musket from MH

    Rather than hijack another post, I decided to start another thread here. I just ordered the British military doglock musket from Military Heritage. The lady I talked to was very pleasant and helpful. She told me if they have the musket in stock, it will be a shipping time of 5 to 7 days. I've...

    Long Land Pattern Muskets

    I have just sold an AR15 in my collection and am going to use the money to buy a Long Land Pattern Brown Bess to go along with my Pedersoli Short Land Pattern Brown Bess. I can't decide which one to buy though. Several Companies are now selling these muskets that are made in India. So far I am...

    A newbie, kinda

    I've been a member here for about a year, but I haven't posted much. I've been mostly a lurker. I have been shooting blackpowder guns since 1972 when I bought my first muzzleloader, an 1863 Remington Zouave made by Navy Arms (which I no longer own). I mostly shoot military muzzleloaders, but my...
