    New Englander

    I don't know if I am posting this in the correct forum, but here is my question. I am wanting an inexpensive ML shotgun to hunt turkeys with. I know a guy that has a .50 TC New Englander he is wanting to sell for a very reasonable price. From what I understand, finding a 12 ga. shotgun barrel...

    Does anybody have any ideas on a percussion .45 caliber ML for starting a young boy out deer hunting? He will need something with a shorter LOP - probably in the range of 12 to 12.5 inches. 8905c

    T/C Cherokee .45 cal.

    I picked up a very rough .45 T/C Cherokee today at a gun show. The bore was very dirty, as well as the overall gun. However, it has cleaned up better than I thought it would. There are a couple of hairline cracks in the wood. One is near the lock screw, and the other is at the very tip of the...

    Old Original ML Rifles

    I have several issues of Muzzle Blasts from the 40's through 60's. I still enjoy looking at articles in these magazines, especially stories about finding old original ML rifles, and getting them back into shooting condition. This is an aspect of muzzleloading that has always interested me. I...

    .54 RB Loads

    As I posted earlier, I recently acquired a .54 TC Hawken at a gun show. I bought it mainly because of the price - $100. This is my first .54 rifle. Just wondering if anybody can suggest a good starting target load with a .530 RB and 3F powder? Thanks, 8905c

    .54 TC Hawken

    I picked up a .54 TC Hawken at a gun show a few weeks ago for $100. The gun was not well cared for, but suprisingly, the bore is very good. Lots of marks/gouges in the stock. I am just wondering if a barrel from a Renegade fit my Hawken? I realize the Renegade barrel is shorter, but didn't know...

    Conner Longrifles Antique Arms Show

    I recently saw the Conner Longrifles 28th Annual Antique Arms Show advertised. The show is held in Noblesville, IN. and the dates are Feb 19th & 20th, 2011. I have not attended the show and was wondering how big the show is? Also, some shows have many old rifles on display, but not for sale...

    Old Percussion Muzzleloading Rifle

    I have an old percussion ML rifle. The rifling looks worn in the bore, but it spins the cleaning jag as I run it down the barrel. I doesn't feel rough or pitted. The triggers won't set and either need work or replaced. The lock is a Leman and seems to work fine. It is about a .38 cal halfstock...

    Has anyone heard of a builder in Oregon by the name of Jan Burgess? Approximately 38 years ago we lived about 4 miles apart in Southeastern Ohio. I haven't seen him since that time, but heard a few years ago he is building ML rifles in Oregon. Any info appreciated. Thanks, 8905c

    TC Hawken Parts

    I purchased a used TC Hawken .50 perc. today. The rifle is in good to average condition. Bore, triggers, and lock seem fine. Some handling/hunting scratches, etc. It is missing the top ramrod thimble and screw. I know I can probably contact TC for the parts, but is there anyone else that would...

    Bullet Trap

    Does anyone know of on-line plans for a bullet trap? With the price of lead skyrocketing, I would like to explore the possibility of making myself a bullet trap to use when shooting my ML as well as modern cartridge guns. Any info greatly appreciated. 8905c

    Walker Custom Muzzleloaders

    A few years ago, I had a .38 cal perc. Southern Mtn. rifle built by Walker Custom Muzzleloaders. The rifle looks great, and shoots as good as it looks. Several guys have inquired about the rifle and the builder. In attempting to get information on Walker Custom Muzzleloaders, I have found that...

    Ruger Old Army Question

    I purchased a used ROA several months ago. I haven't had a chance to fire it much, but what I have used it, I do like it. I have a question about the retaining pin for the base pin. This retaining pin is the pin that has a screw head on it located on the right side of the frame in front of the...
