    Raid at Martin's Station

    At MS you wake up in the morning and look up, and up, and up and around noon you get to see the top of the ridge which runs down to the Gap. If you go you need to allow enough time to visit the Cumberland Gap park also. Don't forget to drive down to the old town. The road going through the...

    Boot Knives At An Event.

    Until after the CW every fight ended in a knife fight. The bayonet was still considered the basic infantry weapon and the intent was to rush more troops at the enemy than they could shoot, so your people could stick sharp pointy things into their people. Extra knives were extra insurance...

    Making my own mold?

    It is also mandatory that one has a pickup truck since the traditional workbench for the Coleman stove method is the tailgate of the pickup. See, the $20 Lee mold is the cheap part of the equation.

    This was found treading water during our flood.

    These guns used to be all over the place back in the '50s. Parts guns made up by European firms for the "African trade". Dixie bought tons of these parts and some complete guns. I have the remains of one in 20ga I bought from them back in the '60s. I cut my gunbuilding teeth on these parts...

    lock for 45 cal Hopkins & Allen Minuteman 45 cal

    H&A were imported by Numrich, now called Gun Parts Corperation, in West Hurley, NY. They still had some locks available last time I checked. They have a website. If not I would check the measurements on the small Siler. It it is larger than the H&A you could inlet it in the old locks...

    Lookin for sausage recipes

    I would go to a meat cutter in your area, or an old time farmer that makes his own sausage from scratch. That may be the best way to get the taste that is traditional for your area. The meat cutter will often sell you the mix they use. After moving from Middle TN to an area of KY that...

    Smooth accuracy

    I have found that there is not a bit of accuracy difference between my .625 GM barrel and my Remington, Browning and Mossburg .625 barrels. I have used factory slugs removed from 20 ga shells in my flintlock smoothbore several times. They work as well as out of the modern guns. In the other...

    Need Help and Advice

    I do not remember there being anything on a '58 Remington to adjust! The trigger is not adjustable and I do not remember the hammer spring having a tension screw, though it has been 20 years since I owned one. It makes me wonder what those guys were cranking around with? It's your gun, turn...

    Use of a Swivel gun on land?

    Swivel guns were a common defense item on the frontier. I know that the Zane family used one at their fort in WV and there are several references to use in the Middle TN/KY area. They used to have a half dozen swivelguns over the gated entry at Ft. DeChartres. As far as justifying them for...
