    Richard, you don't have a Tanegashima on you do you? 😄

    Dale, I wish you would quit posting that image of your glowing tinder fungus match. I am sick to have a snapper now. 😄

    Japanese Matchlock Myths

    Thank you for that link Raedwald. Wonderful stuff. I have even asked to to join the Japanese Matchlock Facebook study group.

    Forgotten Weapons on Tanegashima

    Learned something new here: Stocks were typically of oak, and could be constructed in halves. Very interesting. I wonder what it would take to get Shigeo Sugawa to have his book reprinted.

    New from South Africa

    Welkom Ratkas. I used to be a member of a wonderful blackpowder forum in RSA -- Whitesmoke.za run by a talented knifemaker named Willem O'Kelly -- but after the crackdown on powder -- both black and then the wonderful substitute Sannadex -- the forum seemed to lose its momentum and is now gone...

    Shooting a replica Japanese ‘Tanegashima’ snap matchlock

    12L14 Steel good enough?

    I asked a gunsmith friend and retired US Army armorer who is a Douglas barrel devotee about this. He said in the 1970s, he saw as many as 30 Pratt and Whitney rifling machines making ML barrels at Douglas -- until some guy did in fact fail to seat a ball and blew up one of their 12L14 barrels...

    When did deep frying come along?

    New Batch Biltong

    Neil, this is very interesting. What steps does your process involve to eliminate the possibility of trichinosis?
