    Pronunciation of "gonne"

    'Gooners'? Aren't they some kind of a US kids' TV show? 'Gunners' is pronounced 'gunners' as in 'runners'. I'd like to hear your version of Llanelli Rugby football Club. :)

    A vintage Sheffield knife - flea market find I hope to “restore”

    Imported file handles MAY be birch, but home-grown items of this nature are usually beech or ash.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Hold your horses until you find a genuine Parker-Hale Musketoon, like I did in 1974. Here is a 100m group - 60gr of Swiss #4, 575gr Minié - I'm told that most of 'em shoot left, like mine, and I can't be a$$ed to aim off. Here it is with my Quebec Garrison Artillery S****r.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Not done anything yet, since the range doesn't open till ten a.m. But I'll be taking my trusty old Musketoon for an outing, and sending 1 oz projectiles at a piece of innocent backstop - just for the fun of doing it. :)

    My new French Big Bore Smoothbore 8Bore

    Around 1840-ish or later - back-action locks came into vogue around this time.

    Bullet casting/sizing advice welcome...

    I don't have this rifle, but I DO shoot cylindrical bullets in my hex-bored Whitworth. They are Lyman multi-groove - sized @.451 and weigh 535gr. BTW, my name is Tac.

    Bullet casting/sizing advice welcome...

    The Pedersoli Mortimer Whitworth rifle shoots a cylindrical bullet, not a hexagonal bullet. The word 'Whitworth' refers to the match in which it is shot, not the style of rifling usually associated with the Whitworth rifle.

    Black powder on smokeless ranges

    Here in UK, I shoot my BP stuff where I want - on any of the club's three ranges. We don't seem to be troubled with the prima donna's and wannabe's that many of you mention, let alone officious RCO's shouting their collective heads off. My club even has a day dedicated to BP, and nothing else.

    Pronunciation of "gonne"

    The 'e' is put there in Middle English so that the word is pronounced with a hard 'n' - as in 'gonn'. With Middle English still finding its way out of Norman French - see how Chaucer writes, for examples of both - without that double 'n' and its attendant 'e', it would be pronounced in the same...

    Hello from Suffolk, UK

    You mean in SOME parts of UK. In Scotland you need an air weapons license, and in Northern Ireland, a 100% full firearms certificate, just like any other for real firearm. AND in England, Scotland and Wales, a full FAC for aything over 12ft lbs.... Not so unrestricted, after all. I 100% agree...

    How Deadly is a Flintlock Rifle…

    As a retired soldier and ossifer in the British Army, I can only agree 100%. I've had the privilege of serving with Australian and New Zealand personnel and a better bunch of blokes would be hard to find.

    Pritchett Bullet Mold

    He seems to be living in a time-warp, which is pretty sad. However, he advises us to make contact with him via E***, using the username glennhow56. You can message him that way, but, AFAIK, that's it. He left a note on the MLAGB pages of FB a while back advising us of this method - it's his...

    Pritchett Bullet Mold

    In the near future I'll be ordering a .565" dia mould for paper patching to cast bullets for my original Pritchett rifle..... Brett Gibbons actually makes these bullets by swaging, but the cost of shipping makes sending them here prohibitive. See his excellent YouTube movies! - papercartridges...
