    Looking at a .36 cal barrel for a T/C

    My local gun store has some more old T/C stuff in stock. I dont own a T/C but he has a T/C Hawken Flintlock stock for $399.95 and Green Mountain T/C Hawken Drop in Flintlock .36 cal barrel for $499.99. These prices seem kind of high so I checked online couldnt find any except ebay which is...

    Pedersoli Jäger or Kibler SMR

    I stopped into a local gun and pawn shop and there were about 12 Pedersoli Muzzleloaders on the rack. 3 of them were brand new with the box so I looked them over. Two of them took my fancy. One is a Jäger Hunter and one is a Jäger Target. They both felt really good up on my shoulder and were...

    What is a fair price for an original 1853 Enfield Rifle ?

    There are no markings anywhere on the rifle that give 100% proof of its service. The owner said his father bought it out of a local GAR hall in 1961 when it was closing. The hall said it was a 26th PAEM service rifle so that is all the proof that is in circulation I guess you can say. The...

    What is a fair price for an original 1853 Enfield Rifle ?

    Recently I started working for a new client in PA, I have been working on his beat to hell farm equipment and we got on the topic of rifles. He told me his father passed a few years ago and left him with a handful of muzzleloaders which he doesnt want. 3 are H&R the kind you can't talk about...

    Wanting to get a Percussion Rifle cant make a decision

    I thought the Whitworth had a perfect gas seal and didnt require any patches ? Not unless it needs something under it. Does that Wad you mention act like a patch ?

    Wanting to get a Percussion Rifle cant make a decision

    I've been getting the itch to buy a percussion rifle and now I have to scratch it. Im trying to decide between a Whitworth in .451", an Enfield (most likely a 3 Band) .577" (Repro or Orginial), a Brunswick Rifle .704" and a Mississipi Rifle .58 (Repro or Original). Anyone got any personal...

    Anyone know where I can get a .62 cal rifle built ?

    As the thread title suggests I am looking to get a .62 caliber Flintlock rifle made up. I want it to have a 47" or 48" barrel and maybe a 1/66 or 1/72 twist rifling. Anyone know any gunsmiths who are selling or making rifles like this or anyone have a .62 cal they are willing to sell ? I can't...

    Trying to make a Flintlock Rifle decision

    I have seen other threads on this forum about choices of Flintlock Rifles. I am really torn between a conventional American Longrifle or a military style rifle like that of the Harpers Ferry and the Baker/Jaeger. Like the most recent post on this forum I also hunt in Maryland and will be hunting...

    .54 , .58, .62

    I actually decided on a .58 I figured it was in between both and my Snider Enfield is .58 cal so my cleaning kit will work for this new flintlock.

    .54 , .58, .62

    I am 6'2" and 225 lbs, I have a Brown Bess that I shoot buck and ball with 180g FF charges and .735 Balls with 120-140g of FF powder. The gun is a lottery prize where I can choose a caliber but not the RoT or depth of Rifling.

    .54 , .58, .62

    I like the slower twists personally, I own a Brown Bess which usually takes high charges some as high as 180 with buck and ball. The gun is a lottery prize that I won from a fundraiser and the barrel caliber can be chosen but not the RoT or depth of rifling. I am just trying to find a good...

    .54 , .58, .62

    I can't decide on a caliber for my flintlock I'm building. The barrel will be 48" long and will have a 1/72 rate of twist. I want the gun for mostly white tail deer hunting but I really want the gun to be universal for everything besides small game as I have a shotgun for them. I can't decide...
