    Indian muskets?

    Hey. On my 1740s-50s Carbine from Loyalist Arms, the finish was pure doo-doo. When it just lightly rained or I got real sweaty hands, the reddish finish would come off on anything it touched. Don't know the kind of wood...really don't care. I took 'er apart, refinished the stock, and it...

    Indian muskets?

    Hey Musketeer: I purchased a Loyalist Arms 1740s-50s Carbine about a year and a half ago. Couldn't be more pleased at how it looks and shoots. I can't lay it up against an original so don't know about how it would match up but for my purposes, it is a hoot to tote around and shoot. .62...

    March 13th poll results

    Hey all. I had an inquiry on just what I meant in my question about "social" reenacting. I would differentiate social versus progressive as a more laid back approach to the activity. Less "hardcore" documentation and more just the flavor or appearance of the time/era presented. In some...

    What kind of BP?

    Hey. I occasionally shoot my Pedersoli Kentucky which is a .50 flinter. I use 3f in both the barrel and pan. Works fine for me. Mine is a very accurate rifle but don't load it up too much as that Roman Nose stock will get ye right under the cheek. You have to watch the cheek to stock...

    Etching a Barrel

    Hey Zonie. Larry Williams of Early Rustic Arms wrote an article in the most recent Backwoodsman Magazine. In it he says to make a PVC tube with a glued on base, chuck up the barrel with a dowel wrapped in teflon tape, plug ye olde vent hole and pour boiling bleach in...he also suggests using...

    Etching a Barrel

    Hello all. I am gonna do a project to age a Blue Ridge flinter to make it look old and used. I plan on removing the barrel browning with naval jelly. I wish to "gently" etch the barrel before adding some goop (a la Larry Williams in Backwoodsman Mag) to softly highlight the etching. Now, am...
