    First Shots!

    I successfully, kinda, fired my first shots ever from a flintlock! I loaded up 80 grains of Triple Seven and a patched round ball. The first shot we went off without a hitch. The second shot was a lot of work. I couldn’t get it to fire to save my life. I tried several times without success...

    Priming The Pan

    Here’s a question that I hope doesn’t get me tossed out on on backside. Is anyone priming the pan with black powder but using Triple Seven loose powder for the load in the barrel? Thanks Fred

    Stuck Jag....

    Simplicity...... Remove the nipple. Pour 5 grains of powder through where the nipple screws in. Replace nipple. Put a cap on the nipple. Point in a safe direction. Cock the hammer. Pull the trigger. Done

    Best Range Rod Suggestions

    That's a great idea. I'm just a little leary of a multi-section rod, especially on a traditional rifle. It would be nice to carry in a range bag though. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Best Range Rod Suggestions

    Thank you everyone for your input. I just ordered a 36" and a 45" stainless steel range rod with muzzle protectors from The Log Cabin Shop. I'm really kicking myself for losing the one I had. I'm hopeful that I will find it somewhere in the house but something tells me that I inadvertently left...

    Best Range Rod Suggestions

    Well, I had a nice one piece range rod but it has disappeared. What range rod do you recommend? I have Hawken rifles, Lyman GPR, and a few Pennsylvania long rifles. Where’s the best place to purchase from? Thanks, Fred

    Thanksgiving Traditions That People Don't Understand

    My Dad used to make oyster dressing for Thanksgiving and Christmas. He'd buy chicken backs and cook them down, then add the chicken skin from the backs to the oyster dressing. It was delicious! I keep threatening to try my hand at making it one of these days. Fred
