    1858 by Ruger?

    A friend of mine has two stainless 1858's made by Ruger that he wants to sell. He has never been able to give me a price on these. What would be a fair value?

    What size balls?

    I want to get supplies for my "new to me" T/C Cherokee & just want to see what size balls you're all using in them. The T/C info that I found online says to use: .315 round balls for .32 caliber .440 balls for .45 caliber The info chart didn't say what thickness patches these ball sizes are...

    Two and a half weeks to go & I'm getting anxious!

    I haven't been on the forum in quite a while because of my work schedule (75-80+ hour weeks) this year. I also haven't gotten the trigger time that I had planned to be ready for my Newfoundland moose hunt. My work load has finally let up, but I leave for the hunt on the 18th of October. I have...

    Trophy Newfoundland Moose Hunt Booked!

    My buddy & I just booked a trophy Newfoundland moose hunt for October 2013. Now, I've got to start saving my pennies.....I mean dollars. Lot's of them, but it's going to be worth it. We're also going to get tags for bear & trying to get tags for woodland caribou to make it a combined hunt. I'm...

    I haven't had a very good deer season........

    .....until this Thursday. I never even squeezed the trigger during Pennsylvania's regular firearms season. It's now Pennsylvania's flintlock season. I found a spot in the woods for the afternoon sit. At about 3:25, I saw movement out in front of me up thru some hemlock bottoms. It was...

    Wasted Tag!

    We were hunting on one of our hunting clubs properties yesterday. This property is 750 acres on a mountain with some rugged terrain. I dropped my buddy off at one end of the property so that he could do a long walk to try to push something my way. Then I drove around to the other end, where I...

    Game Processing?

    People talk about hunting, dressing & traditional camping, but how many of you do your own processing of the game that you harvest. Isn't that what they would have done back then? What do you make out of it? :hmm: I have always processed/cut up my own game. Over time, I have accumulated most...

    It Happened Again!

    Friday, my buddy, Don & I went hunting on one of our hunting club’s properties. I walked in about ½ mile to an area that we know the deer travel thru when they’re pushed off the top of the mountain while Don took a long walk around to the other side & back up over the top. I got into place &...

    Finally.....I got a pic of my caribou!

    I just got an email from our caribou guide today & he included a link to The Syracuse, NY Post Standard newspaper. He had sent a pic and little description to one of the papers writers & it got into the paper on December 11th! Here's the link & the picture if anyone's interested...

    What kinds of guns are 'period'?

    I found this link that discusses the "period" topic at quite length. It is an interesting read. What's anyone's input as to the accuracy of the information there? http://www.silcom.com/~vikman/isles/scriptorium/firearm/firearm.html

    Bear fat.........?

    What should I do with it all? Last night I brought home as much fat as I could from my buddy's bear. (I posted about it in the non-muzzleloading area) Do you just put it into a large pot & keep it on a fairly low heat to melt it down? Do you just heat it until it's liquid, then pour it into...

    I got a surprise this weekend!

    I was deer hunting on a brushy side hill watching a brush patch. I had caught a movement in the brush & finally spotted a deer tail twitching. After a short time I was able to see the buck working over the brush with his antlers, but couldn't get a clear look at him. He was about 100 yards away...

    Flintlock Trapper?

    I have a Traditions flintlock Trapper pistol. The vent hole is barely visible at the edge of the pan. Ignition seems to be kind of slow. I thought that the hole should be level with or slightly higher than the top of the pan. Has anyone else had one like this? I'm wondering if I should contact...

    Peer presure isn't always a bad thing!

    We have to admit that all the people here, on the forum, are our peers. We also have to admit that the encouragement, poking fun, etc. we receive from each other is definitely a form of peer pressure. Well......it certainly is a good thing! We all keep accepting the new (to each of us, anyway)...

    Zouave Manufacturer?

    I have a reproduction Zouave that I picked up sometime in 1974. The only markings on it are "Armi Jager Italy" and "XXX" and a serial number on the left side near the breech end of the barrel. There is a caliber marking of "c .58" on the right side near the breech end of the barrel. Who was the...

    Muzzleloader Shop in PA?

    Today, I left the Fairless Hills, PA area & went North on route 413 then North on route 611. Somewhere around the Ottsville/Harrow area, just before I got to route 412, I saw a big sign on the right that said "Muzzleloader Shop." I couldn't stop because I was in an 18 wheeler. Does anyone here...

    Fantastic Caribou Hunt!

    What a great hunt we had! We flew in on Saturday, getting to camp too late to do any hunting that day, so we just settled into camp. There were 6 hunters, the guide & his tracking dog in camp. Sunday we were in the boats & headed to our hunting areas just as it got light. By late morning we had...

    Moose Milk vs Moose Snot?

    Which is better? I've made up a good batch of Snot & have been using it, but I'm wondering if I'd be better off making up a batch of Moose Milk. What do you use & why?

    Another successful morning.....

    I was running a little late getting back to my favorite ridge again yesterday morning. It was already getting light by the time I got to my "hot spot" and, like last week, I heard a bird gobble before I got sat down. He sounded like he was less than 150 yards away. I found a tree to sit by and...
