    WANTED Found it! Please delete!

    I look for a servicable CVA or Traditions Frontier, Bobcat or Kentucky in percussion, for a youngster. A single mom whose son expressed an interest in muzzleloading asked me about a rifle. Her son hunts with archery equipment and a 20 gauge unmentionable. So, a smokepole is missing 😁 Maybe there...

    Looooong Range shoot at Friendship

    Shouldn't we have this match at the NMLRA Spring Shoot and/or Fall National Shoot? The long range stands did not seem to be really crowded with shooters last June. At our local (modern) range, they have only 375 yards and you cannot shoot there as a guest even for a fee. Since I can shoot around...

    Blowing Down Barrel

    Did anyone run any scientific tests which show the effectiveness of blowing down the barrel in a traditional ML gun? Probably not. The term cook off would mean: the barrel became so hot from shooting that it would ignite the powder just dumped in the barrel. If a barrel really gets this hot...

The biggest point adressed was membership numbers and their decline. My resulting remarks: The Association...

    bore butter substitute recipes

    Since I am shooting my original jaeger rifle with an old wrought iron barrel, I have to use lots of borebuttter on my patches, otherwise the wrought iron barrel is too dry after wiping. I almost used 1 tube of yellow bore butter on 6 of my long patching strips and that is not very economical and...

    0.630 round ball mold

    Well, I am over here in the US for Friendship and thought I could shoot this gun http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/230515/ and that it would be about 0.70 cal, that`s why I bought a 0.678 mold. I cast balls and they would not fit the bore. :cursing: I ground one ball...

    Original austrian rifle from the 1740-1750

    Ok, today I got the e-mail that the rifle is ready. :grin: The original forestock was gone and the rest could not be restored, because some epoxy moron worked on it before.The barrel is signed in silver "Frantz Muck", who worked from 1731-1760 in Austria. It is 25,5" long and about a .70 cal...

    Having that Pedersoli Hatfield flintlock where I won`t be able to fit it to the new rifle style. So I want to make a new lockplate for it.I know that I have to copy all the holes exactly,which I can by using the old lockplate as a drilling template. Will a normal piece of steel do or do I need...

    Pulling breach plug on a Pedersol Frontierman

    Hi everyone, I have this about 15 year old Pedersoli Hatfield Frontierman rifle in .50 cal. This flinter never fired as good as my custom flinter and the jaeger rifle I build last winter from TOTW parts.First, I corrected the position of the touchhole and it fired a little better but still not...

    Thank you HuntingDawg

    It was really great to publish that gun building tutorial. It helped me a bunch. I am just building my first selfmade Jaeger Rifle using a ToW kit but without the pre-carved stock. I aquired a thick american cherry blank here in Germany and build the rifle as a full-stocked take-down for...
