    Identify this pistol

    Not sure what it is but it is pretty nice. What's the barrel length?

    Clarification of 2 Entirely Different Models - CVA Stalker & Mountain Stalker

    Well you beat me. My bobcat was $79 at Wally world back around 1997 or so. Got my first BP buck with it. She still looks great, shoots great, and never lost a deer with it. I love her.

    Hawkens East?

    I gotta say this was a thought provoking thread. Now that you mention it, I think the only half stock muzzleloader I ever saw was on grizzly Adams. Of the not too many people I knew that actually had a muzzleloader, they were all long rifles. Then, as a young adult in the late eighties, I...

    Primers

    Good news. I was just over at .22reloader to see about ordering a number 11 cap maker. New product: center fire primer makers. For $129.00 you can now make your own. They've got the instructions right there on the site and everything you need to getcha going.

    Newly discovered problem with the GPR

    It doesn't have a load in it, does it?

    Making patches

    I use a rotary cutter. Just lay out the material on my cutting mat and cut into long strips, then turn them the other way and cut across the whole thing making dozens of squares. I do like your leather punch idea. Might try that too just to have another way.

    Want to see some DIY!

    The golden age of camping in America. 1880-1930. One of my latest big interests. Those were the days.

    Remember this Davy Crockett movie scene?

    I grew up in Lawrenceburg, TN where Crockett once lived. Got a nice statue of him on the town square and a small but nice state park named after him. That's where the annual Davy Crockett Days rendezvous is held every august. Back around 2010 Lawrenceburg had a pretty bad flood and parts of the...

    A&E Sons of Liberty series on Tubi and more

    Wasn't sure when SOL came out but I remember watching when we still had cable so that would have been 2016 or earlier. At that point I thought it was the best thing I ever watched. Couple days ago I made a post recommending a few others. They were Follow the River Alone yet not alone Song of...

    A&E Sons of Liberty series on Tubi and more

    I bought the sons of liberty dvd set on ebay a long time ago. It is in my Thanksgiving weekend collection along with saints & strangers and the patriot with Mel Gibson. Into the wild frontier season 4 episodes are also now on YouTube. Watched the Jim Baker episode the other night. Pretty good stuff.

    A vintage Sheffield knife - flea market find I hope to “restore”

    I call it a good find. She has potential. May have started life as some kind of kitchen/food prep knife but would make a fantastic patch knife/squirrel skinner.

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    Are those green ones extra tart? Bet they don't like that. We had a bunch of apple trees around the buildings at the farm where I grew up. They grew funny looking green apples that were very tart. Never once saw a squirrel eating those. Granny would cut them up and lay them out on the picnic...

    2024/2025 Squirrel Hunting Thread...........

    We have them here in Tennessee during the summer. Been a long time since I've seen one but, when you pull the skin off, looks kinda like an eyeball staring at you. I've always scrapped squirrels that had those because grandpappy told me to. But some folks say that doesn't bother the meat. Once...
