    Traditions Shenandoah Rifle

    We are on our second one (the first was stolen in a break-in). These are good guns for the money. Both in 50 cal. Reasonably accurate and fairly robust. Good camping guns, great "starter" guns. Gave mine to my daughter at 14 years, when it was stolen she wanted another just like it. Great for...

    Ultrasonic cleaning

    I have a small one from H.F. that I use to clean the rifle locks from time to time, but the Bess lock does not fit.

    where to buy lead

    I asked about lead last time I took the cans to the recycler and ended uo with an old lead shower pan that seems to work great, particularly for my smooth bore brown bess loads.

    Range report Super Bang Ring Caps and CCI magnums

    I confess, I have seen these and always wondered if they would work. Thanks for the experiment. Back in the late 70's I bought and used a home-made cap making machine called a tap-o-cap, that formed caps out of aluminum from cans, then you put two toy caps in them. They wotked just over half...

    Tradition vs Pedersoli

    Hey Doc C. Congratulations on your new rifle, I'll bet you have lots of fun with it. I always feel like a happy kid with a new smoke pole, whether flint or cap. I have shot them for over 30 years and have yet to own a gun that takes a cartridge. Best wishes.

    Flash guard install question

    I have a Siler Delux and used one of the kits to instal the flashguard. It worked fine, was not difficult at all. I have always had to have a flashguard so I'm used to it and don't find them a problem at all.

    Cotton Flannel at Walmart

    We tend to like flannel sheets here at the TxRambler house, and when they are worn out they are recycled as cleaning patches.

    NMLRA Muzzleblasts Magazine

    In fact I dropped my membership in NMLRA several years ago, and also out of the blue received their magazine this week, but haven't read it yet. I think about a week before the magazine an envelope came with their logo but I didn't read it. Things get busy here during the Christmas season.

    Great Time at the Range

    I frequently get one or two to try it, six is unusual. The best was when we saw a BS Troop out earning their shooting badges. We offered (there were two of us) and they took us up on the offer. One of us loading while the other coached. There must have been 15 or so, and severel came back for...

    Great Time at the Range

    Had a great morning at the rifle range. Good weather and fun shooting, but most importantly six people that have never shot a traditional muzzleloader can now say they have fired a flintlock, and one was a kid (about 12 years old). One guy had so much fun he asked where he could get one.
