    When Do You Use Your Vent Pick?

    I bought a set of those years ago. I'm still getting picks out of it. They work great. As to when to use the pick, every shot. An old target shooter taught me this when I was just starting. Before you load set the hammer on half cock, insert the pick in the vent, lower the frizzen to hold it...

    Sling Ideas for Trade Gun

    Traditional sling attachments usually did not "swivel", they usually were just a metal shackle in the forestock and a large headed post in the butstock. I had Jackie Brown put them on the trade gun he built for me. I like the set up. The photo is not great but you get the idea. Several...

    Any SxS trap shooters out there?

    Shooting BP is different. The thing that gets most people is the lock time. Traditional locks are slower than modern guns. You may want to adjust your lead to compensate. The chokes you have are fine. You will probably need to experiment with different loads to find what works but open chokes...

    Tingle rifles, pistols, and shotguns

    My 36 was good enough to head shoot tree rats consistently. It's weight made it hard to carry all day but great for off hand shooting. I suspect that is why they are known as "target rifles." IronHand

    Tingle Lock?

    The one I had took 1/4-28 like a TC. Pull the nipple and take it to the hardware store. Try it in a 1/4-28 nut. If it fits then just need to get one of about the same cone length. If it doesn't fit then try some of the metric nuts, fine thread. Track of the Wolf has a good selection of...

    Shot loads

    When I was competing with BP trap I always used a square load, same measure for powder and shot. This was for safety and convenience. In a day I could easily shoot 60+ loads using 3 different gauges in 4 different guns. That means if I used different volumes for powder and shot I could have up...

    Brown bess for trap?

    I want to get back into BP trap shooting this year. While I have several good shotguns, I lack a suitable flintlock. Looking at the available options I wondered about the Brown Bess. Has anyone done this? How did it work? IronHand

    New toys

    I went to a local gun show yesterday and look what followed me home. I believe this is called a Enfield Musketoon. Made by Armi San Paolo (Euroarms). The second toy is an unusual pistol. The 50 cal Sharon barrel is signed D. G. Noble. The lock is well made but unsigned. The trigger, also...

    Traditions/CVA locks

    My CVA lock has a bare plate. No engraving. I have checked Deer Creek. They want $95 for a lock. Hoping to find a used one cheaper. Ironhand

    Traditions/CVA locks

    I have been told that Traditions and CVA locks are interchangeable. Is this correct? Specifically flintlocks. Thanks Ironhand
