    The Deluge (Potop)

    So far I have 2-1/2 hrs. invested in the first disc of this film. 17th C. intrigue focused on the minor nobles fighting internally and in the Polish-Swedish War are the backdrop and sometimes the foreground. Brutality against peasants, love, and political chicanery are more prevalent than...

    New Mora Knife

    It's that time of year and my own rut had me eyeing a new woods knife. It's one that can also adorn most belts for historic reenactments. It's the new Morakniv Exclusive Forest 277, handmade in Sweden. With a 4" long, 1/9th" thick, laminated carbon steel razor sharp scandi-ground blade and...

    Becoming Lactose Intolerant?

    I'm not even sure what it actually means but does one "become" lactose intolerant? I like cold cereal and once every year or so I get some. I'd noticed in the past it started not to agree with me I presume from the (2%) milk and the gas I got from it today... Well, let's just say that the...

    My Rare Hawken Rifle?

    So, I have this Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken Rifle. It's a maple-stocked gun, and has a 32-5/16" barrel, but I recently realized something... I understand it's a little narrow but .50 is kinda my go-to caliber which, it appears from their main website, Pedersoli only offers in the 30"...

    Fluted Army Sings Sweetly

    Anyone else fall for one of these Uberti fluted .44 Colt 1860 Army revolvers? I did. I have originals but unsure if I have any repros and the lines of this version really just sang to me. Yup, guns is art. No expert on this I, though some may have existed, I suppose it's much of a fantasy...

    Destructive Testing of Armor With Early Arms

    I'm betting no-one here has seen this and that everyone here will love it. Magyar said... Now this will be fun for sure. A fellow shooter is a member in a reenactor group. They are reenacting the mounted tactics of the Hun-Avar warriors of the 5th-6th century. They are focusing on recreating...

    Le Kentucky Combats

    Dick told me about John Wayne fighting Napoleon and sent me a VCR of The Fighting Kentuckian. Europe, Alabama, whatever... It was at the end of The War of 1812 and had SOMETHING to do with French people. Not a bad movie (that Wayne produced himself), and interesting to the extent it was...

    Dutchish Doglock Pistol

    My new 1640 era doglock pistol in walnut w/bright iron furniture. Patterned from an example excavated from the Power House site. The lock plate is bellied as w/earlier wheel locks. Such locks are usually associated with the Dutch but they were used by both sides in the ECW and many of these...

    What Would A Mountain Man Think About Lube?

    Or any woodsman "back in the day"? I was thinking yesterday that if I gave an original hunter/trapper some production lube like Wonder or E-Z Lube, how do you think they'd react to it? Would they like it? Would they pay any attention? An obtuse question, but, if you think of certain reagents...

    Tale of Two More Calivers, Almost (Picture Heavy)

    This is not as much a comparison, contrasting two arms at opposite ends of the quality spectrum, as its predecessor was. These are, sadly, closer and I also have less detail on one to show”¦ The longer arm was made by John Buck, may he rest in peace. I don’t know if he’s...
