    Flintlocks and Black Powder

    My last post on this topic, If some new shooter takes your advice and ends up double loading a rifle of dubious quality which cannot take the extremely high pressure and the rifle lets go injuring several bystanders and the shooter, how are you going to handle that? What will you say?

    Stripping Finish on Dixie Mountain Rifle Stock - Suggestions Please

    Many professionals use "Easy off Oven Cleaner". Hang the stock, coat it with Easy Off, wait 15 minutes and wash off. Apply second coat if necessary. This will take off most finishes without sanding and it has worked for me over the years. Didn't have to sand at all. Easy Off is a strong...

    Newbie here from Virginia

    Keep trying "gun broker" and other sites. Look for dealers with a 100% rating for over 50 deals. Lyman and T/C were common well-made rifles. Pedersoli is more expensive, but I won a few contests with my Tryon 54. They are out there but looking in the mountains in the snow is probably not the...

    Help! Can't hit the taget with a traditions deerhunter .50 kit.

    Patches need to be thick enough to fill the grooves of the rifling. They will spin the patch when it exits the barrel. They also need to be rough enough to hold onto the ball and impart the spin of the bore onto the ball. The ball DOES NOT CONTACT the rifling. Your patch must completely cover...

    Great Morning with Jessica and Jemima

    That is one pretty lady. But Jessica looks better. The one great path to happiness is hunting together. The memories that I carry are fantastic.

    Flintlocks and Black Powder

    And the fish, seeing the bait just above him slowly ascends to the bait ready to strike. Wham, 4f goes to the bottom in the belly of the 3f bass.

    I have so much to learn!

    While you have a "flintlock" your rifle was designed to work a bit differently than a regular flintlock. The company was hoping to make a flinter that would work with "pellets" instead of loose powder and allow people who need to hunt with flintlocks have an edge over Traditional flintlock...

    Help me get started properly

    FYI, everything is important. Where the powder sits in the pan, if there is any gap tween the pan and the barrel, having a clean touch hole to the powder. and having proper follow through when firing. When I first started shooting a flint, I sighted in from the bench. Later shooting off-hand...
