    Cleaning your flintlock

    This question is for those of you who plug your flashhole with a toothpick when cleaning. Do you have trouble with the toothpick breaking? How much trouble is it getting the toothpick out? ..............watch yer top knot..............

    Trouble with sights

I am going to try widening the notch on the rear sight and perhaps cutting it deeper also. If this doesn't help what are some of the sights that you guys use? I can...

    Horn and Measure

    After seeing Silex's primative measure recently, I decide to show this picture of a powder measure I made from a piece of river cane. Also a day horn I made from a horn that a friend from church gave me. I saw this simple pattern in an old muzzleloading book I had and thought it would be simple...

    Lyman Flintlock

    I was looking around online for a lyman Great Plains Pistol flintlock kit and all I could find was percussion. Did Lyman quit making these in flintlock or am I not looking in the right places?.................watch yer top knot...............

    Shot Pouch

    I stitched this pouch together friday, before the storms came to town. It is half of a baseball cover soaked in tea then stitched up with some waxed thread. It is a little small but it is a good size for .32 balls for a squirrel rifle................watch yer top knot.........

    Bone handles

    Greeting, I have gotten some bone scales to make a handle for a Russel green river patch knife, before I start I wanted to ask if there are any special concerns with working bone rather than wood for a knife handle.

Both sights are .097 or something like that, one will go on my C.V.A. mountain rifle and the other on my Tennessee southern rifle flinter I am slowly building.

    Life of a flint

    I am pondering a flintlock for my next project, either a jediah starr or a sitting fox. My question is about how many shots is one flint good for? I know everybodie's rifle is different, but just an average is what I would like to know..................watch yer top knot

    forsters tap-o-cap

    A few weeks ago I bought a fresh can of CCI caps. After taxes it cost almost $7.00. Does anyone have experience with the tap-o-cap? How difficult is it to use? Do the homemade caps work well enough to switch? Am I better off to stick to the CCIs? What do you guys think?
