    Relating to the past -- LONG

    The thread concerning Lewis Wetzel got -- interesting, I suppose would be a good word. Not to continue or resurrect that debate, but it was enlightening in regard to how most of us tend to project our modern-day point of view (complete with political, psychological, religious, and moral/ethical...

    Need Bobcat Tang

    A friend's daughter killed her first deer this past fall, using her boyfriend's muzzleloader (one of those types we refer to as That Which Shall Not Be Named). Not too surprisingly, she wants a muzzleloader of her own for next deer season. Having built guns for her older brother and sister, and...

    Just great....

    The weather here (SE Indiana) has been freakishly warm, so of course now the local rays of sunshine (pun intended) have switched from griping about the cold, to griping that the current pleasantness (by January terms) can't possibly last, and that we'll have to get slammed extra-bad to balance...

    single triggers on plains rifles

    Pictures I've seen of Hawken, Leman, Dimick, etc plains and trade rifles give the impression that set triggers were overwhelmingly the norm. Were plain single triggers too uncommon to consider using one on a c. 1830-1840 plains rifle? I'm not a PC fanatic, but when I set out to build a gun I...

    Bobcat barrel

    Looks like I may end up buying a .50 caliber CVA Bobcat barrel on eBay -- needed something inexpensive and fairly light for a kid's gun. I'm curious as to whether this is a 7/8" or 15/16" diameter barrel. Did a search on the Bobcat and came up with zip. Thanks in advance!

    Round smoothbore barrels

    This might seem more a topic for the "smoothbore" forum, but the question I have is intended more for builders, because of their dealings with suppliers and manufacturers, than shooters. I understand the relatively high price of, say, a correct reproduction barrel for a specific model brown...

    Building one

    I thought flintlocks were as "primitive" as I was going to get. However, looking over posts and pictures in this forum, I started sketching lock designs, using what I saw here and drawings from an ancient copy of "Small Arms Of The World" as the basis for my doodling. Then I spent my lunch...

    What would you like to see?

    Assuming the production was done well -- what book or series of books would you most like to see done as a movie or miniseries? There are a number that I'd like, but if I had to pick only one it would be the original Terry C. Johnston trilogy about 1830's fur trappers: "Carry The Wind"...

    PC taken too far

    It might be a tad off the original topic, but it's my favorite "PC" story and illustrates the mentality of certain people. I got involved in a discussion with a self-proclaimed expert on early American firearms, who stated that "all" pre-1800 Pennsylvania rifle had swamped barrels, brass...

    Hello from SE Indiana

    Greetings. I've been following threads on this forum for information and entertainment for some time now -- thought I'd register and be able to once in awhile throw my two cents' worth in. I live six miles up the road from Friendship, IN (bet no one's ever heard of the place :haha: ). I build...
