    Muzzle Loading Shotgun

    My local NMLRA Club has decided to add a smooth bore match next month with shot and ball. My only smooth bore gun is an antique Belgian 20 gauge side by side. I've only fired it a few times in the past. The discussion yesterday indicated that we'll shoot classic clay pigeons with shot and a...

    South Carolina Flintlock

    I've built several Kentucky flintlock pistol kits over the years and I'm ready to do a rifle. I grew up along the coast of South Carolina and now live in southern Georgia. I wonder what type/style/caliber of a rifle my Revolutionary War forefathers would have carried in the back woods and who...

    Breach Removal

    Do any of you have a picture of the setup for removing a breach plug from a round barrel? I'm concerned about scratching the blueing.

    Mississippi Rifle

    My neighbor pushed a brass cleaning brush down the barrel of his rifled musket to start the cleaning process and the threads gave way and it is stuck. I've tried shooting it out and blowing it out with CO2 and compressed air. I'm afraid I'm going to have to pull the breach plug. I tried...

    Lost Brass Cleaning Brush

    I was cleaning my double barrel 20 gauge at the range and my brass cleaning brush came off of my range rod. Now I can't get it out of the barrel. I've tried to fish it out but the threads must have gotten striped. I'm considering loading a little powder through the nipple hole and shooting it...

    Flintlock Pistol @ 50 Yards

    My black powder club shoots a 5 shot 25 yard and a 5 shot 50 yard each month on a standard NMLRA big bull target. I've been shooting a .50 cal Kentucky flintlock for the last few months. I'm not the best shot with a pistol but I'm able to average a 25-35 score at 25 yards. However, I'm...

    Flintlock Pistol Accuracy

    At our club shoots we've had a 10 shot 25 yard relay for any black powder pistol for years. This year we changed to 5 shots at 25 yards and 5 shots at 50 yards. I like flintlock rifles and pistols and I always assumed that I'd never win any ribbons with everyone else shooting cap and ball...

    Soot in Mould

    My father told me that when he was growing up he and his friends made toy soldiers by melting lead pipe and casting them using a mould that his father passed on to him. He recently passed that same old mould on to me. It has 3 World War I soldiers and one soldier on horse back. It has a...

    Kentucky Pistol Set Trigger

    I watched one of our new club members win the pistol match at the monthly shoot with a flintlock. We allow any black powder pistol. He beat a lot of very expensive in-lines and cap and ball pistols. I was impressed and it got me thinking about my own pistol shooting. I've tried my flintlock...

    .36 Cal Remington

    I've got a .36 Cal Navy Arms Remington reproduction that I bought several years ago. It shoots good 25' and 50' groups with a light load and over powder wads. It would benifit from some better sights. Can anyone recommend a source and discuss installation?

    Kentucky Pistol Trigger

    I've got a .50 Cal Pedersoli Flintlock Pistol. I like the feel but it has a heavy trigger pull. Is there a drop in single set trigger I can get for it?

    Hefty Hefty Trigger Pull

    I've got a .50 cal Pedersoli Kentucky Pistol. I can keep it in the scoring ring at 25 yards but that's about it. I'm not that bad of a shot off hand but it has a very heavy trigger pull. How do I go about reducing the trigger pull?

    South Carolina Flintlock

    My family originally came over on the boat in the early 1700's and settled in the seacoast area of South Carolina. What style of flintlock do you think they would have had hanging over the fireplace?

    Remington Adjustable Sights

    I've got an Italian made copy of a .36 Cal Remington cap and ball revolver from Navy Arms. I shots pretty well in the original form but I'd like to install some adjustable sights. Anyone have any ideas on where I could find some? I've hunted around on the internet and don't see any. :hmm:

    36 Cal Questions

    I've got a 36 cal Remington revolver reproduction. I've fired it a few times with 15 grains of black powder with a greased over powder wad and round ball. It's pretty accurate but consistantly shots 6-8 inches high at 25 yards. I need to reduce the powder charge. I've read about using corn...

    Thinner Patch Material

    I ran out of the .020 patch material that I've been using for over a year in my .50 cal Austin Halleck flintlock rifle. I bought some slightly thinner cloth. I spent a couple of hours today at the range and was surprised. It shot a good pattern with my regular powder loads but at 100 yards it...

    Jukar Flintlock Pistol

    I've got a .45 cal kentucky pistol that I built from a CVA kit in the early 1970's. It's a fun gun to shoot. I recently acquired a .50 cal kentucky pistol from Pedersoli. The hammer action is much stronger and it sparks much better. I now see how weak the spring has gotten on the CVA...
