    Seneca Patent Breech

    Something to watch for is that some of the TC breech plugs are a odd ball thread and the Douglas will be a standard thread?

The basic rules were that each team had five shooters one had to be a flint shooter and one had to be a lady and you had to belong to a club in the state that you were representing.

    .32 or another .40...???

    Go with a 36 and you'll soon forget both the 32 and 40. My 2 cents worth.

    Cotton Duck Cloth

    BigDuckCanvas.com I mostly use 10.10 OZ Army Duck very tough and also very consistent about .018 depends on how you measure. A thicker duck is the #12 11.5 oz cotton Cotton Canvas this is not quite as tight a weave as the Army Duck but still very tough and thicker. Prices beat Jo Anns all to...

    why half-stocked relics?

    I have often wondered how many full stocked rifles had the forearm broke or cracked at some time then simply cut the broken part off and made a half stock out of it and kept shooting? I have also seem pictures of original chunk guns that had shorter full stocks not really half stocks but instead...

    fun use of junk cast RB's

    You must have a pretty good sling shot to wing a 54 cal ball. Those squirrels can probably see it coming and duck! RB

    peep sight question

    Plus the opening of the rear sight must be as wide at the top as any part of the notch. If you don't shoot any matches with NMLRA rules no problem. RB

    100 yd Shooting

    A lot of good replies here but I would like to add a few things. Since you are striving to punch holes in paper the most accuracy that you can achieve is the goal. To my way of thinking a 2 inch group at 50 yards isn't all that great OK for hunting but paper punching I would work on that and...

    I knew a fellow that grew up in the Missouri Ozarks not far form the Arkansas line and he told me that his family had a 22 and a SXS shotgun but the ammo was so expensive that they were seldom used. He grew up using a 36 caliber muzzle loader and I remember him telling me that he could buy a...
