    Anyone see the new T/C flintlock?

    You weasel. I was getting excited for a moment. Rotten prankster. I wish but if that's the kind of gun you want I think you need to go custom or TVM.

    Fire In The Hole

    At Fort Ticonderoga they, or at least used to I haven't been there in years, describe lighting the fuse before firing the mortar. Actually, the way I remember it is the tour guides describe how to deal with mortar if there was a misfire. IIRC, the options were pour water down bore, remove the...

    making a fire

    Stumblin', I got a Cash tin with a glass in it. I didn't have much luck with starting a fire with it though. Is there some trick I'm missing? Even Char cloth didn't seem to burn with the glass. :thanks: P.S. OOOO steel wool and 9 volt battery :thumbsup: :what:

    murphys oil soap

    One good thing about Murphy's is it is designed to clean wood. So if you slop a little it won't hurt the stock. Now the water etc. might be a problem, but hey you can just use more Murphy's then. LOL :winking:

    GOEX Ctg in ML

    Zonie, that was an interesting test you cited with 4f. I suspect you are right about the fouling, being due to the pressure spiking earlier. I also believe the velocity would be higher, and the fouling less in a shorter barrel. Some pressure testing equipment would be very interesting during a...

    New book on percussion handguns

    That is MEC's book. I haven't got it ... yet. I have a few other things ahead of it too read, maybe I'll bump it up a little in my reading list. Lately I have seen and read a few things about duelling. I am amazed at the degree of formality involved in a "gentlemen's" duel. A lot of it seems...

    Those prices are ridiculous. :what: I guess black powder shooting isn't to common in NZ because of that. :eek:

    Speaking of duelling pistols

    I think it looks really good for its age. Do you shoot it much?

    Best source for dueling pistols?

    I seem to recall from another thread Cherry's was having a sale of some of the Pedersoli's they carry. Might look them up in links. :results:

    Anyone had main charge go off while using ramrod ?

    I met a man who had lost a finger, just the first digit IIRC. He had a gun go off while loading it. He did not have an explanation for why the gun fired when it did. I wasn't there so I don't know what happened. I can only speculate what happened, but something did cause the gun to fire.

    Homemade Target Options?

    I couldn't agree more Sneakon. I have seen a lot of public land trashed by idiots. Not always shooters, but far to frequently. :curse:
