    An Abomination? Not For Sensitive Viewers

    I am all for it. Several years ago I was at a sportsman/coon hunters outdoor swap. On this guys table laid a camo muzzle loading double barrel he had doctored up for turkey hunting. After I got her home and started peeling camo tape and applying oil and 0000 steel wool to some light surface...

    TC New Englander

    Picked up a let's say neglected New Englander .50 cal. the other day. After a little 0000 steel wool she cleaned much better than I could have hoped. I don't currently have any 50 cal. ball. What has been you guys experience with these guns, they like a .490 ball, .495 ?

    SturdyTradition pocket knife

    I've carried the same Case stockman pocket knife daily since 1985. She did spend a night on a log in the woods after cleaning a rabbit once. I have found a couple knives over the years, one along a shoreline fishing, another next to our mail box that apparently fell off a truck going by. But...

    Thinking of taking a walk on the dark side.

    No I have not. Not allowed at local shoots either. Had the makins for the other laying around, thought I might try it. Does not look as totally hideous as I feared. But then I might not have the delicate sensibilities that I seem to have offended here. Good suggestion though, may have to give...

    Thinking of taking a walk on the dark side.

    Been thinking about it a couple years as I get older. Could switch over to shotgun full time I guess. But yeah it's an eye thing.

    Thinking of taking a walk on the dark side.

    Well apparently that is not how you post pictures here. Having never had scoped a muzzle loader before. How does one go about cleaning ? The traditional drop the breech in hot soapy water method is somewhat more complicated with the scope on her now ?

    Thinking of taking a walk on the dark side.

    Been giving thought to possibly scoping a rifle for a while. This past weekend I was at a local flea market and spied a very clean looking small bore on a table. It was a Traditions Deerhunter .32 with scope mounts and sling swivels already on it. The bore sparkled when I dropped a bobber light...

    Pre-wash flannel for cleaning patches?

    One batch of home cut flannel cleaning patches I failed to wash first, noticed the cleaning fluid tended to roll off the patch some.

    Any book suggestions for 12 year old Nephew ?

    Just wanted to thank everybody for the suggestions. Decided to go with Hatchet, and My Side Of The Mountain. If he takes to them, will steer him toward a more historical direction next go round. Thanks again.

    Any book suggestions for 12 year old Nephew ?

    Thinking of maybe getting my sister's boy a book. He is about 12, is interested in shooting, camping, and such. I figure he is about prime to give him a little nudge in the right direction. He lives near Charleston S.C., and me up in Ohio, I don't get to see him but maybe once a year. I know...

    Garage Sale Score

    Barrels cleaned up pretty nice. The .50 TC barrel was on the rifle when I bought it, but all the ball, brushes, and such, are all .40. Put the .40 on, little longer and heavier than the .50. Guy had a stanless rod under the .50, balanced out about the same.

    Garage Sale Score

    Got a heads up from a buddy(smokeless shooter) about a local garage sale with a Thompson Center rifle and fixens. Went on over for a look, sure enough a 50 cal. TC Hawken, with an additional 40 cal. green mountain barrel, for $250. Said he also had a bunch of lead and powder and stuff that...

    How do I make a corn cob pipe?

    I used a good old Case XX stockman pocket knife, was all the hardware needed.

    How do I make a corn cob pipe?

    I made one yesterday,in about ten minutes,while standing out in the yard talking to the tech. who was installing our satalite system. While not strictly historically correct, we in southwest Ohio are "blessed" with a later import, bush honeysuckle, a woody invasive woodland understory...
