    How do you store Black Powder at home?

    Simple question. So far I leave it (obviously) in its tin and in the bottom cabinet of my gun cabinet. Is there a better way to store black powder at home? Or is the cabinet method fine? Thanks!

    Getting into flintlocks???

    I have a few T/C New Englanders in percussion. A .50 and a .54. I am constantly looking out for a shotgun barrel but they are hard (and expensive) to come by. I had a pretty bad experience with a .50 cal CVA flintlock and I gave it to my brother, pretty much to be an heirloom piece for him...

    Tactical Muzzleloading

    Ok, please hear me out. I love my traditional muzzleloader. I'm a caplock guy, hunter, shooter, etc. I have no interest in modern... stuff... when it comes to Muzzleloaders. What I am interested in is merging my love for the traditional muzzleloader with some modern tactics. i.e...

    Do you prefer percussion?

    Just curious about everyones preference here. I have a CVA flinter that I am confident is a great gun, I am just so pleased with the performance of my Thompson New Englander .50 cal capper that I'm kind of leery of trying the flinter. I think I prefer the percussion, but who knows right...

    First cap and ball revolver, where do I start?

    I'm wanting a cap and ball revolver to carry in the woods while deer hunting. I love shooting so I need something in the 40 cal range to keep me legal during our hunting season. It also has to be reliable to stand up to extended shooting sessions. Basically, I'm a noob and don't really...

    CVA Flinter

    Hi Everyone, :hatsoff: I have a CVA Flintlock that I can't hardly get the frizzen to open up on when I pull the trigger. I admit, I am a caplock guy and don't know much about these things. It seems like the flint opens up the frizzen about half way. I would like to take a deer with the...

    I'm back

    I use to be a pretty active member with the Muzzleloading Forum. I think I'm back. I need to dust off the old smoke poles and get back out there shooting. I got a pretty good deal on a Flint lock CVA which I found out has a terrible lock, so off to the flint lock forum I go. Feels pretty...

    Pondering my first flintlock

    My buddy at church just offered me his CVA flintlock. He told me what the model was but I forget.. maybe a frontiersman?? Anyway, the layout is very similar to my T/C New Englander, except its a flinter. The gun looks good for it's age. I was thinking about trading him my New Englander for...

    I am back!

    It's been a while since I have been active on this forum. I took some time away from shooting and hunting so that I could concentrate on finishing my degree. This week I finished my studies and I am now ready to get back into my favorite hobby - traditional bp shooting and hunting. I can't...

    Smooth Bore Hawken barrel

    Does anybody know where to find a Thompson Center Hawken smooth bore barrel new anywhere? I'd like to find one in .54 or .58 cal smooth bore but I can't seem to be able to find any online. My Hawken is 15/16 across the flats. Thanks! Jerem0621

    Across the flats?

    I found out that I need to measure a T/C Hawken "across the flats". Um, I hate to show my ignorance, but how do I do this? Yes, I do know how to measure, just not what to measure. Is it the width of the stock's barrel channel? If so then it measures 15/16 of an inch. The barrel flat...

    Blue Grouse Black Powder opinion?

    I'm thinking about buying an underhammer kit from Blue Grouse. Have any of you had any experience with them? I've never even seen an underhammer in person, but they look neat. My second question is, just how traditional is an underhammer muzzleloader considered? Is this a "new" concept? I...

    .54 New Englander

    I have a .54 barrel for my New Englander that is fairly pitted on the inside of the barrel. the outside looks great. Is there any way to have this barrel made into a smooth bore? I would like to remove the rifling, is there any way I could do this my self? I know I can just buy a 12 ga...

    shooting shot?

    I would like to shoot shot out of my rifle. I know that some people do this, but I would like to know how effective the shot pattern should be. I have a .54 cal Thompson New Englander. Will I screw up my rifling using lead shot? I would like to use this for turkey hunting this coming spring...

    Flash Cup?

    I was looking through the Track of the Wolf's website and I came across a part called a flash cup. Apparently, this little cup fits between the nipple and the breech. Do any of ya'll use one of these? How effective are they at keeping the breech clean of fouling or whatever they are supposed...

    Have any of you had any experience with the T/C White Mtn Carbine in flintlock? I found one but I have concern about the shortness of the barrel. This would be my first hunting flintlock. Thank you, Jerem0621

    TC Hawken Smoothbore?

    I want to buy a smoothbore .62 cal for a TC Hawken. There is only one small problem. I can't find a source for new barrels. I called Green Mountain and they said they don't make smooth bore barrels for the Hawken anymore. Does anybody know of another source? I have a New Englander and I am...
