    Unmarked 1849 Pocket

    Late yesterday, I got to shoot the 1849 Pocket Model I recently bought here on the forum ( SOLD - Unmarked 1849 .31 pocket ). I had planned to order some #0 buckshot but never got around to it, so I whipped out a quick die set on the lathe to flatten out .310 rifle balls to .325 and headed down...

    CLOSED T/C New Englander Barrel

    I'm looking for a Thompson Center New Englander barrel, preferably complete, for use with my rifle. I'm wanting to do a .62/20ga rebore and refinish so caliber and condition isn't especially important. Would also be interested in one of the original 12ga barrels (screw-in or fixed choke), should...

    Hickory Dowels

    I was putting together an order at TOTW this morning and saw they're offering a 100pc bundle of mixed diameter 48" long hickory dowels for $9.99 + shipping. These are clearly described as NOT being ramrod quality, but I'm betting there will be a couple of decent ones in there. I make a lot of...

    Help With Plains Rifle ID?

    What have I got here? Recently acquired plains-type rifle that appears to be quite old. Rough as a cob, broken, modified, etc. I like the look of it and picked it up for what I thought was a very fair price. Stock appears to be walnut with iron triggerguard and buttplate. Left side of...

    French Fusils

    I've always considered myself a rifleman but as of late, I've been warming to the idea of building a nice fowler of some sort. I ran across this blog post while researching what we generally consider the "fusil de chasse" and thought the information may prove interesting for others who are...

    A Kentucky Squirrel Hunt

    I took off from work yesterday (10/27/17) and headed for the woods to try out the new early-Lancaster rifle I’d just finished the night before. The weather was forecast to be cool and partly cloudy with a bit of a breeze. There was a good-sized creek draining into Taylorsville Lake that I’ve...

    An Inexpensive 'Hawk...

    Way back in my military days, those big, expensive, Rambo-style knives were all the rage. All the guys were shopping catalogs and saving money for a Jimmy Lile or a Randall custom, or at least something along those lines. I was discussing this one evening with one of the old grizzled Vietnam-era...

    Cabela's Blue Ridge Flintlock

    I've been especially blessed on a number of different fronts this year, mainly by a wonderful family, timely passing of illness and injury, and a series of economic disasters that ultimately worked themselves out. I was so pleased to get through the past year that I asked for no Christmas...

    Mark Baker's "Sons of a Trackless Forest"

    I have been looking for a copy of "Sons of a Trackless Forest" for several years now, and I think about $650 is the cheapest I've seen asked for an example. That was quite some time ago, too. Several weeks ago, I sent an email to Scurlock Publishing, who, as I understood, was the original...

    Anybody do rust browning?

    I've been doing rust browning for years. I've always been somewhat turned off by the plastic appearance of the Plum Brown finish and haven't seen this "LMF" brown that so many of you guys talk about. I place all my thoroughly degreased parts in a box with an open baby food jar of muriatic acid...

    Best price on a GPR flint kit?

    I've got a hankering for a .54 GPR flinter kit. After much searching, the best price I've found is $317. Is there anything cheaper out there that you guys know of? Thanks in advance for all replies.

    Chambers frizzen heat treat procedure

    I just received a replacement frizzen for my small Siler flintlock from Jim Chambers. Many of you will probably know that this is only a casting that must be fit to an individual lock and then heat treated. The guy I talked to when I ordered said "Full heat treating directions will come with...

    Greetings from southern Indiana

    I got my first BP rifle about twenty years ago. One of those Spanish "longrifles" in a .45 caplock. I'm pretty sure I killed more squirrels with that rifle than you could haul in a small pickup truck, but then sold it in a fit of stupidity. Several Plains-style rifles later, I find myself...
