    Copper pot W lid

    Crazy Crow has those in their Catalog marketed as a Revolutionary Kettle. They state that it was patterned after an Original in the Museum of the Fur Trade. They are $89 in the Catalog so that's a good catch for $30. Eli

    corn boiler?

    You didn't mention a preference for Copper or Tin. If Tin then I would second Backwoodstin, I have one of their Coffee Pots and it is real nice. For Copper check out Westminster Forge. Tom Makes Corn Boilers as well as Small Trade Kettles and a regular Kettle in a small quart size. He also...

    Custom Ramrods

    For PC Reasons I want a Wooden, Preferably Hickory Ramrod as stated in my post. Not interested in Fibreglass, Delrin or other. I tried to contact Ohio Ramrod but the email listed in his profile doesn't work. Anyone know any other makers of Wooden Ramrods?

    opinions needed on "early rustic arms"

    A Friend of mine just got a Cumberland Model .54 Smoothrifle from ERA a couple of months ago. It is the one pictured on ERA's Website. I handled the Rifle one Afternoon while we were Squirrel Hunting awhile back. The Rifle seemed well made and handled and balanced well. It had a bit of an...

    Custom Ramrods

    Does anyone know of any makers out there of Custom Hickory Ramrods? A friend of mine recently got a SmoothRifle from ERA that came with a Ramrod that had a little Carving on the Tip and the Butt End of the Ramrod had the threaded attachment for Cleaning Jags,etc. I would like to have a couple...

    New Trade knife

    Prairieofthedog, I can only speak to the Trade/Kitchen Knife, it's the only one I have. The Trade Knife is an import but overall it is pretty good quality. The Handle style as well as the Half Tang and the Blade Profile are pretty darn close to PC.The Handle is pinned with 2 Steel Pins.I am...

Coleman from WY use to make some real nice inexpensive Trade Knives but I haven't seen any of them around for awhile. Avalon Forge...

    Narragansett Arms Fowler

    Yeah Jackie, I thought the Lancaster Fowler that you had on your Website looked pretty close to the Narragansett. I was torn between that Lancaster Fowler of yours and the Early VA Smoothrifle that you built for me earlier this Year. I went with the Early VA and I am well satisfied with it but...

    Narragansett Arms Fowler

    I was looking through some old Muzzleloader Magazines the other day and saw an old ad from Narragansett Arms for thier " Lancaster American" Fowler. Those are nice looking Fowlers. I know Narragansett went out of business some Years ago under some bad (For Buyers) circumstances but they did...

    Problems with TVM fowler vent.

    Roundball, I am looking at changing the Liner on my Haines Rifle. What brand is the one that you have pictured above? Is it an RMC or other?

    Reading Patches

    I got out today to shoot my Haines style .54 This is only the second time I have shot it. The accuracy results were less than spectacular. The Barrel is a 42" GM Swamped. I was using a .530 Hornady RB and .015 Cotton Strip Patching lubed with Crisco. I tried both 70 and 80 Grains of 3F at 50...

    DOM Tubing that being used for barrels

    The Barrel that I have on my Smoothbore has what appears to be 4 either Seams or very Shallow Grooves. Can anyone explain why there would be 4 as compared to 1 if this is a Seamless Tubing/DOM Barrel?

    Jackie Brown barrels ?????

    I am not "falling on my Sword" to defend them, I don't know enough about them to defend them. I just asked a question about some kind of documentation to show they were unsafe and so far I haven't seen it.

    Jackie Brown barrels ?????

    That is kinda the question I was asking Alex. Is there any Court cases or other documentation to show these Tubing Barrels are unsafe? On another note like I said before I am no Barrel expert, the Barrel I have on the JB Smoothbore I own has what appears to be 4 Seams or very shallow Grooves...

    Jackie Brown barrels ?????

    O.K., I will agree with what others have said in that I would prefer a Colerain or GM Barrel over a "Plumbing" Barrel. Also agree that if he in his statement implied that his Barrels are better than Colerain, GM, Rayl, etc that I don't believe that for a minute. But with that said I am still...

    Jackie Brown barrels ?????

    I will be the first to admit that I am no expert on Barrels. This thread as well as others recently are discussing JB's use of Tubing/DOM Barrels and a lot of Folks who have posted seem to have concerns about the safety of these Barrels. So my question is, and it is not intended to inflame or...
