    Straight wall barrel vedors?

    It gets better a pistol (all pistols being restricted) is 'a weapon designed for use with one hand'; and shotguns (smoothbore guns) can have a barrel no shorter that 16 inches except for shotguns manufactured with a barrel shorter that 16 inches. so Shotguns (be it flintlock, caplock, wheelock...

    Straight wall barrel vedors?

    I'm looking to start with a fantasy piece (mostly to learn the basics of the process rather than emulate a particular rifle/style). I am planning for a large bore .54-.69 caliber matchlock rifle; something that I can build, alter, add remove as a want.

    Side mounted ramrod

    Did a quick google search my guess is that the ramrod 'channel' would be something like one of the following: https://cdn.globalauctionplatform.com/824b691e-7d73-4663-87a1-a44300e3b867/4cea50fb-b880-4784-8b37-6d88857a2603/540x360.jpg...

    Small bore or Musket bore Baker rifle?

    I'm pretty sure for the Napoleonic/1812 war(s) the British were still at the 220g of powder (which is my preferred period for reenactment/muzzleloading arms.

    Small bore or Musket bore Baker rifle?

    Ok did some research and the .69 Cal Baker if you follow the grain match caliber rule for shooting can be a well shot gun. but up it to service charge loads and you get something pretty stout. the 10 bore (.77 caliber) muzzle loader is the type of gun you would use for large game (Kudu...

    Small bore or Musket bore Baker rifle?

    Thanks for all the replies, I found which rifle I'm going with (the answer is neither), I do some 1812 reenactment, and want a rifle I can purchase bullets and the like from my local hunting store (which has .32, .45, .50, and .54 calibers) so I'll probably end with american 1792 or 1803 rifles...

    Small bore or Musket bore Baker rifle?

    So I shall be purchasing a baker rifle kit from the Rifle Shoppe for myself and I have to ask has anyone had either? My first inclination is the Musket bore baker but I've heard that they have a heavy recoil, does anyone have any experience with them, is it really that bad or were the troops...

    Match Cord Bells?

    I do know that some modern Tibetan/Mongolian matchlocks have a small oiled leather and feather bag on them in which the match cord is fed out of around the musket/arquebus and into the jaws of the cock. Edit: example Here http://www.vikingsword.com/vb/attachment.php?attachmentid=103183&stc=1

    Looking for 1756 Artillery Carbine

    I do want to say (as a tangent) that Indian guns get a bad wrap (deserved probably) but I have several the oldest about 15 years old newest made within the past 1-2 years and quality difference is astounding. The new gun is amazing considered to the older gun. Old gun I cannot get parts, the...
