    flintlock hunting

    I shot a deer a few years ago with a T/C Hawken flintlock. Got a rabbit last year with a Tulle flintlock. Is this the place to post? graybeard

    Brass and bronze

    Pardon my ignorance, but what is the difference between bronze and brass? I thought they both were mixtures of copper and tin. Is an ancient Greek warrior's sword made of the same stuff as a Confederate revolver frame? Thanks, graybeard

    India gun

    I've read a lot of opinions about guns made in India. I know the concensus is that they are poor quality. But I wanted a musket, flintlock, to use on grouse, squirrels, rabbits, turkeys and deer. The price of a custom-made gun was out of reach for a frugal old man like me. Actually, I never...

    unreal movies

    After the ball game last night I started watching a film supposedly based on Hugh Glass. The actor shot an elk with a flintlock, reloaded by pouring some powder down the barrel right from the horn, put a ball in his mouth for a second, then dropped it down the barrel, banged the rifle butt on...

    Clean a clay pipe?

    Does anyone know how to clean a clay pipe? :confused: I've got a couple I have smoked until they are black with tobacco tar seeping through the clay at the bowl and part way up the stem. Very messy. :( Presumably people used to clean them. Thanks, graybeard

    wool blankets

    The cheaper than dirt catalogue has supposedly 100percent wool blankets for less than $10. Anyone try them? :confused: Seems like they'd make good camp blankets and be fairly PC. thanks, graybeard.

    non-persona

    I hope this doesn't get me kicked off the forum, but I have no persona. I'm just an old timer who is comfortable in the woods and likes to shoot a flintlock. I sometimes carry the flinter and a replica of an 1860 Army Colt, which certainly isn't period correct. At age 72 I no longer roll up...

    Camp coffee

    Can anyone give me a rule of thumb for the amount of ground coffee per, say 12 ounces of water, or per pint, or something useful, when just boiling the coffee over a fire? Any other hints? I seem to remember some tips about egg shells and cold water, but can't remember the details. Thanks...

    Kerry

    Does anyone know how Sen. Kerry stands on gun control. Is he a hunter? Fisherman? He comes from a state that hates guns. Graybeatrd

    Cleaning

    I just spent about an hour and countless patches trying to get a CVA .45-caliber Kentucky clean. I've done this over and over. After what seems like a lot of work, the patches still are gray. If I quit, give the barrel a swipe with T/C's Butter Bore, and put it away, I'll have rust the next...
