    Help… Broken Lock

    Thanks for the responses… I’ll give the counter screw idea a try when I have time. Unfortunately, I discovered this while moving the gun to my in-laws for storage so it may be a few weeks before I get the opportunity.

    Help… Broken Lock

    So I opened up the protective case I’ve had my Fusil-de-Chasse in for a few months to find the screw holding the frizzen to the rest of the lock has broken off. Not the biggest thing in the world, but the end of the screw remains recessed in the lock… Anyone have any ideas how to get it out?

    Colt Patterson No.5

    A pretty interesting look into the history and development of the Colt Patterson No.5 pistol... They use a reproduction for obvious reasons, and pyrodex for demonstration purposes but it’s a really well done episode and looks to be the first in a new series. And while it’s outside the realm...

    Militia House?

    Anyone know what's going on with these guys? The last update said they were still moving and that was almost a year ago... They had some nice stuff that I would have liked to have ordered from, but at this point I'm ready to start looking elsewhere.

    smoothbore weight

    For what it’s worth, my Fusil-de-Chasse made from a TOW kit is pretty light and feels lighter due to its incredible balance.

    Rust prevention...

    So down here in Texas I've noticed the weather isn't kind to black powder guns. For the most part this is easy to mitigate. I over oil during cleaning and touch up metal as needed whenever rust starts to appear. That said, I don't want to be taking the barrel out of the stock on a regular basis...

    Wad thickness...

    So I got my fusil-de-Chasse out last week for the first time... The more I get to handle it, the more I love this gun. Anyway, I had meant to try and get a rudimentary idea of what it shot most accurately between different size balls, powder, and wads vs patching, but when I got to the range I...

    So here's a dumb question...

    So I recently got my .62 caliber/20ga Fusil and I need to order some ball before I get out to the range. I went on TOW today and realized they have the two (20ga and .62 cal) separated into different categories. 20ga has .600 round ball listed and .62 cal lists .610. I was going to get both and...

    Received my TVLLE Fusil!!!

    French TVLLE Fusil de Chasse in .62 cal/20ga. and stocked in oak. It was built off a Track of the Wolf kit for me by Larry Cruise, and I couldn’t be more pleased. I’d never handled a Fusil before this one and the first thing that struck me is how shockingly light this beautiful smoothbore is! It...

    Frontier on Netflix

    I really tried to like it... I made it all the way to the last episode of the first season and just couldn't bring myself to care enough to finish it.
