    Down to the wire PA hunt

    It was a very busy fall and winter for me with home projects, and work, and all the daily trappings we wish we could avoid or remove from our lives! Before I knew it my favorite season to be out was almost over and I had yet to even tip over a powder measure. :shake: I buckled down and was...

    Hevi-Shot in flintlock smoothbore?

    Got to looking around my workshop last night and it got me thinking......I have a nice little supply of loose #6 and #7 Hevi-shot doing nothing but occupying space. Anyone ever consider shooting this stuff out of a flinter (or any ML barrel for that matter)? Its super hard of course, but the...

    Ken Moors , Christian's Spring rifle

    This is a Christian's Spring style rifle that I just picked up from Ken Moors of NC. Its built around a 38" C weight Colerain .54 barrel, and a Chambers Germanic lock. If I'm not mistaken Ken has worked closely with Clay Smith at his shop in Williamsburg, VA. His fit and finish is really nice...

    "Whale Tail" J.P. Beck rifle, bench copy

    This is the 3rd rifle in my Ron Luckenbill rifle trilogy :grin: This one is an actual bench copy of an original JP Beck rifle made by Ron Luckenbill of Emporium, PA. Most "Copies" are interpretations made from pictures in a book, and if you're lucky enough you also can scrape up some usable...

    Ron Luckenbill Early/ "Edward Marshall" rifle

This one is built around a Rice .58 cal swamped 38" Marshall profile barrel, a Chambers "Dale Johnson" lock and Reaves Goehring castings. Stock is a nicely figured hunk of maple...

    Ron Luckenbill J.P. Beck rifle

    This is a JP Beck rifle that fellow PA resident Ron Luckenbill built for me that I am very proud of..... It's a pretty tight interpretation of a known Beck original. At my request Ron used a wonderful 44" Getz lightweight swamped .54 barrel(I think it's the same barrel Don Getz used on his...

    PA Doe falls to the Smoothie.....

    What a great morning here in Schuylkill Co.,PA! Slipped in to a small oak flat bench on some public land well before light and settled under a nice wide oak. I sat where I could overlook the bench with the still fairly strong breeze in my favor. At legal light I primed er' up and got comfy...

    A young boy's first smoke!

    This is my girlfriend's 9yr old son Ben and his first time shooting any type of gun and it's safe to say he had a ball! I had him shooting my .36 Ed Dillon flinter. No pressure or shooting paper or bullseyes, just 30grs of 3F and milk jugs full of water to watch explode when he did his part...

    "Rush Creek" roundballs from my smoothbore.....

    Decided to fling some roundballs from the .62 smoothbore and the only off the shelf selection that I could find in that caliber were "Rush Creek" .600 at Dixon's so I bought a couple bags....... I've not handled anything but soft lead Hornady in .535 on down to .350 for my rifles and am not...

    Options for misaligned vent?

    I picked up a second hand Jackie Brown 42" .62cal fowler recently to use this turkey season.....I noticed the vent was misaligned front to back but didn't think it would be quite enough to seriously affect ignition.....well it seems that it does. The lock/flint combo throws enough spark to...
