    March 26-27 at Ben Avery Shooting Range in Phoenix AZ

    I make an extra effort to make it to this event. Don't know that I would want to drive in from out of state for it, but it is one of the better outdoor events in the state.

    Real Black Powder For Sale at Ben Avery this weekend

    Isn't Thunderbird Cartridge still in business? It isn't the most difficult place to get to, and you MUST call and make advance arrangements, but I have always been able to get BP there, at a very competitive price. I will admit, I have not been there for about a year.

    Western Nationals In Phoenix

    What kind of entertainment is she looking for? El Pedrigal is nearby on 74, just go east till it dead ends, you're looking at the parking lot. It's a high end yuppie place. North on 17 just a few miles is a large outlet mall. Go south on 17 to the 101 an you can go east to Desert Ridge or...

    NMLRA Western

    Spoke breifly with Tip this morning, and he is not planning on coming out this year. I guess I am going to have to start planning a trip back east.

    NMLRA Western

    Does any body know which gun part/kits vendors are planning on being at this event? I am in the market for an in-the-white Late Lancaster.

    Carbon paper to transfer from book to wood?

    I have tried that with some success on various things I have made over the years. It works really well on flat stuff, but as soon as you start trying to transfer to any curved surface, your perspective really goes to pot, and I mean like right now. I made a horn a few years back for my kid...

    Beating the snot out of a rifle!

    Actually...... I have one of those on a powder horn I made a few years back. And she definately aint Lady Liberty :shocked2:

    Router bit

    Absolutely right on that comment. I have never been the most patient man on this old world, and I have really screwed up some wood working projects over the years with my over-enthusiastic use of a router.

    Beating the snot out of a rifle!

    I have to admit that I don't get it, especially for re-enactors. Soldiers in the Civil war were issued NEW rifles, they looked new, and Sgt's being Sgt's, I doubt they were told to "take it out and beat it up so it'll look more antiqueish". Same with the mountain men. I have a real hard time...

    No Shop Rifle Building

    I have room for a small shopmate style bench, and most of the campgrounds I'll be working at have picnic benches. Storage for tools and such might be a problem, I think. Mom doesn't care what I do, as long as I don't do it in the motorhome, and I have to agree with her on that. Nothing ticks...

    No Shop Rifle Building

    I am getting ready to retire for real and the wife and I plan on full timing for a couple of years or longer out of our motorhome. Since I'll have plenty of time on my hands, I am thinking it would be the perfect time to get serious about learning how to build muzzleloaders, but obviously, I...

    Please help me identify these old guns... thanks...

    My thought exactly.

    quick question re: converting

    I have a chance to pick up a really nice, nearly new and maybe even un-fired Pedersoli Frontier rifle for a crazy dirt cheap price. I would have grabbed it if it had been a flint, but it's a percussion model. SOOO, how hard is it to convert one of these to flint? I Know it can be done, just...

    Rifle Method smoothbores???

    So what do the records say about the wadding? Was it dry or lubed, does there seem to be a standard material, or was it pretty much what ever was at hand? I would speculate (and that is all it is) that your average frontier farmer wasn't going to spend what little cash he had on a specific...

    Why possibles?

    Because if it can possibly disappear from the bag, it will. :grin:

    Cap to flint conversion

    Only thing I can think of that comes close is the 1803 Harpers Ferry, and I don't believe it was set up for a boyonet. If you are going to be historically accurate, I don't know how your going to make that happen. I'm not really up on that particular subject. Maybe one of the Austrian or...

    Simple bench rest by wulf

    OK. Call me dense. I'm not tracking on how this should work. Do you have a photo this being used, or maybe with a gun in it?
