    "Days of Yore" An eccentric Englishman and his Antique ML collection.

    I thought some of you would be interested in this rather dated British doco, I prefer the company of eccentric people and this fella delights me. Watch for the enthusiastic Retriever Dawg "oh goody we're going to murder some Birds again" LOL "The Blighter" holding a Balloon (thankfully he let...

    What is the reasonable distance to quickly kill a turkey with a muzzleloader?

    Off topic kinda but bear with me, we Aussie bush boys were generally taught Gun safety and Marksmanship with Bolt action single shot .22 cal Rifles; and that included being able to drop a wild Pig with a round placed just below their ear. Of course that demanded good stalking and a reasonably...

    Is FFFG the Cause

    Lets keep in mind the health implications, particularly for we older guys. ML filler should be simple and affordable yet healthy; personally I use MacKensies Natural Bran for 3 reasons 1. Its Scottish albeit made in Australia. 2. Its lightly granulated (accepted that big wurds arent USMC...

    Someone Talk Me Out of a Howdah

    Seriously ol mate, can you please start a thread here of your history relevant to your travels and muzzle loaders ? I really do believe it would well received, if I may sugest a title "Rudyards IF, and I did" (referring to you of course).

    Someone Talk Me Out of a Howdah

    I know this is a very late reply, for those nose heavy ML pistols, extend your other arm hand knuckles uppermost, well back from the muzzle and under the stock, to support the whole, its practical and safe.

    When Do You Use Your Vent Pick?

    I like to have a vent pick dangling by a thin thong from lower down the shoulder strap just inside my shooting bag, my personal habit is to have pre-cut lubed square patches pierced through the approx centre of a "slab" of patches with the Vent pick so theyre immediately ready for use. Its a...

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

    Original Left Handed flintlock guns?

    We Aussies carried the FN SLR 7.62 rifle, and Officers, Signallers; Forward scouts and Dog handlers carried the M16's. As a left hander I still have a narrow scar on the right side of my right eyelid from the M16 spent shell ejection I used, its no big deal only a tiny sliver scrape really and...

    Original Left Handed flintlock guns?

    The Australian Army issued the Steyer Assault rifle 5.56 with a configuration that enabled an easy alteration between Left and Right use.
