    CLOSED Sharps Rifle or Carbine

    I knew it was going to be sketchy when I offered it to you, kind of seems strange that I've seen Shiloh BL actually for sale on here with no issue, and then boom all of a sudden somebody has a problem with one???

    What mistakes have you noticed in movies/tv shows that happen in the BP era like Daniel Boone, Patriot etc?

    I have been removed from several museums for calling out their mistakes. I remember one specific time at Ft Jim Bridger, I told the lady at the desk two or three times that there was a display that was wrong, and after I guess the third time, here come the curator. He was squalling bloody murder...

    Lock lube; oil or grease ?

    Grease. It also creates a barrier from the burning powder for the protection of the internal steel parts. II don't know how many black powder firearms I have, but every one of them have been polished then greased with axle Grease. They're all like brand new today. Several were used hard and...

    What is your favorite wax for your stock?

    You can't find sperm oil anymore, but bear grease is as good. Mine shine for months, then pull one down from over the fireplace, shoot, clean, wipe down with the bear grease again and hang it back up. Or put it in the safe, pull one of the others out, and hang it.

    Drill Bits

    The first time I used a set of left hand drill bits in front of my grandson, who is left-handed, said "Grampa, they make grill bits just for me?!!". Well anyway, left hand drill bits have saved my butt more than once.

    Huge Gun Show; Not a Cap In Sight

    I set up at a gun show in Arkansas a couple weeks ago, and I walked around and didn't see any percussion caps either... Not that I was looking. Casually mentioned to the guy that was set up across from me who had a plethora of ammunition that I didn't see any percussion caps here. He walked over...

    Be careful with Black Powder...You never know!

    My first two Ram trucks I put static strips on that would drag on the ground when you drive down the road. Put these on because sweetie, Joyce, would always get shocked when she would grab the handle, and then squall. They didn't work. People would ask me "why do I have something hanging down...

    Napolean movie reviews?

    There was a lot of advanced hype for this movie, so I paid attention to my European reenactor friends on facebook. Man they absolutely destroyed it. They don't have a single kind word to say about it. I'll eventually watch it out of curiosity.

    Removing rust in the barrel

    I have heard of this happening with pyrodex but never seen it. Do you think that is what the previous owner was using?

    CLOSED Hawken Rifle

    That's what the builders tell me. They go out and buy all the parts separately and then put it together and have less trouble than building the kit. Now remember, I'm just telling you what they told me.

    CLOSED Hawken Rifle

    I took my Bergmann to the Hawken classic last month, and it was well received by the gentleman giving the speeches. I talked to several people about the "New Hawken shop" kits and they expressed that they were extremely difficult to make.

    Hawken Classic 2023

    I have to say I had a good time. Due to personal situations, my "good" outfits were all packed two states away. Nevertheless I dressed casually, and comfortably, and was very pleased that the nitpicking stitch counters didn't exist at this particular event. I learned a lot, and truly enjoyed...

    Hawken Classic 2023

    The plan is The plan is in 2025 it will be over. You need to explain to your employer that your lumbago is bothering you and you need to have a couple days off.

    Can anyone supply a list of states where a BP gun must go to an FFL holder?

    Illinois is guilty. FFL required for anything over 750fps including all muzzleloaders and most BB guns.
