    Mississippi Rifle ammo.

    The Mississippi rifle was introduced in .54cal from what I have learned but it was bored to .58cal to use the minie ball. So are modern made .58cal Mississippi rifles only able to use minie balls or can they use standard ball and patch? Show size ball would they use if they use ball and patch...

    Flintlock Pedersoli RMH

    I want to see a Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hunter in a flint lock. I wrote Pedersoli and asked them to make one. The customer service guy wrote me back and told me they make one in the Traditional and Hunter Hawken and I could get one that way. I replied that I know they make it in the...

    What year?

    Anybody know when this magazine was published? It was given to me today by somebody who seen it at a "free table" at the local library? There is no date in it but I am guessing early 80's as all the pistol kits are under $100. I think it will make for some good reading.

    Machine or hand

    I have been playing with my Renegade and I have been sanding parts to brown them. I also bought and just received a traditional back sight but it was cast and it still has cast lines on it. After a log time of trying to sand the cast lines out I decided to just get my Dremel Tool out and...

    I have never seen a T/C Old English muzzleloader until today. I seen one in .50 cal and the barrel is completely round. Could this be easily turned into a 20 gauge.

    Oil based stain

    This stuff is no good. I am redoing the stock on my T/C Renegade and I applied some striper and scraped off the old finish and then I sanded down the stock. I then applied some oil based Minwax dark walnut. First off the top half is light and the bottom half is almost black and second it will...

    What do I do with it? With pictures.

    I bought a muzzleloader from a pawn shop the other day for $72. He was asking $169 but it had set for so long and me and him do a lot of business together that he gave it to me for $72. At first I thought the barrel was bad but in reality its not bad. It is .54 cal with a chrome lined barrel...

    Kit Carson Autobiography

    I was in my local thrift store today and while looking at the books I noticed a book called "Kit Carson Autobiography". They wanted $7.50 for it. Is it worth reading? It had no pictures so I put it back but may want to get it later.

    What is a good way to polish up a stock. I have a stock that has a dark stain over walnut wood. The finish is nice with very few dents and chips but its set for so long it has a layer of grease/dirt on it. What is the best way to remove it without scratching up the finish and what is the best...

    I was just in a local pawn shop looking at muzzleloading guns when I seen a nice looking rifle. Its stock is really nice and has checkering. The barrel is not any good as I can see very little riffling. He was asking $169 but had had it for a long time. I opened my wallet and counted out all...

    Mountain man pistols

    I was just in my local pawn shop when a seen a Jukar Spain Dillinger Pistol for $75 (regular $89). I almost bought it with hopes of fixing it up for later trade or sale. I got home and looked it up and realized that Dillinger's did not come into being until 1853 so pre-1840 mountain men would...

    Melting lead

    I am thinking about getting a Lyman electric lead melting pot for around $80 at Cabela's but cant I melt lead just as easy and cheaper on the stove in a heavy pot? How do you melt your lead? Is a stove hot enough to melt lead?
