    MINIMUM LOAD

    Some time ago a post showed a small, low caliber, screw-barrel rifle, presumably for gathering bird’s for study or collections, w/out scattering the flock. It was suggested that Audubon used one similar. As I recall, it was about .25-.30 and the powder pocket only held 5-10 grains of BP...

    Fusil De Chasse Style Rifle

    Beautiful rifle. In my biased opinion, you chose an excellent base for your rifle. I have a FdC and love it. It balances, carries & shoots effortlessly. As noted by a previous comment, it only misses being HC until the documentation is discovered. Shoot it with well deserved pride!

    Just One Gun

    Back in my high school days, a friend and I were wandering around the back roads and small villages of northern Vt. We stopped at a country store for sodas and spotted an old Winchester, sticking out of a barrel in the corner. I forget how much it was, probably $10-15 or so, maybe less. What...

    Tacky Problem

    Your fix looks good. It shows it's age but not the insult.

    Penny For Your Thoughts? Pawn Shop Find.

    That trigger might be used as a haggling point; unsafe if the trigger is set to a light touch. Probably correctable/adjustable. I agree that it’s several hundred $ high, especially for a pawn shop,around here at least. What is that inflated in the right of the buttstock, where a patch box...

    Hello from Indiana

    Welcome, from SW OH. Warning: flintlocks are addictive. That said, it's a very enjoyable, rewarding, & social addiction. The only damage will be to your wallet-and targets. Great fun!

    G'day from down under

    Welcome, from SW Ohio. Bladesmiths will always be welcome, in my book. I'm sure you'll find the information you seek, starting with the archived threads. Who knows, you may even catch the ML fever. It's proven contagious before.

    WANTED Seeking a recommendation for builder/maker of French Fusil long gun.

    I recently got a very nice fuse de chasse,made by Jackie Brown. From what I've been able to tell, comparing it to online pictures of originals, it seems quite true to type (with the possible exception of the lock). I still have to get the book recommended as the most complete on these. I don't...

    Bench Rest Centuries Ago

    Thank you for posting this. It's a fascinating, beautiful rifle. It's also reassuring to see that, again, there's little new under the sun.

    Any other crazy kids out there?

    Filled Testor's model paint bottles w/ black & ran Jetex fuse through the lid. I'd drop them in a hole in the basement floor; shove a heavy plank over it & sit on it. Lifted me & studded the plank w/ chunks of glass. Great fun.
