    Fire sale

    I had the unfortunate experience recently of watchng my boat go up in smoke on the highway. Unfortunately my Lyman great plains rifle was inside it at the time not to mention other very expensive items. I salvaged the barrel from the aftermath along with parts. Obviously the stock was destroyed...

    Lyman rumours

    Please correct me if I'm wrong and I sincerely hope that I am but I asked for a price on a Lyman deerstalker from a local dealer who told me that Lyman are no longer producing black powder firearms. True or false?

    Sable muzzle-loading hunt

    G'day friends. I'm pretty excited. I just booked in for a muzzle-loading sable hunt in northern Mozambique. Outfitters have great references and assures me that caps and powder are no problem to get. Other critters I'm likely to get a chance at are bushpig, warthog, Livingstone eland. Really...

    Set trigger Pedersoli

    I'm interested in changing out the standard single trigger on my Pedersoli Kentucky flintlock for a single set one from Davis triggers. Does anyone have any suggestions regarding what one I should go with? I'm not sure what would fit the best. I asked Davis but they weren't sure. Thanks.

    Bullet lube

    Howdy gents. I was rustproofing the inside of a boat trailer today. I bought a can of a product called Tectyl 506 by valvoline. It's a mixture of grease, lanolin and tar I think. It's an incredible rust preventative and lasts for years. The thing that struck me was that it smells and...

    Christmas treats

    Merry Christmas all. I happened to spend Christmas with friends on their farm which is being infested with rabbits. I went for a walk every afternoon and practised with my Sthn Mountain flintlock. 40 cal. I averaged about 4-5 rabbits each walk which was about 100 metres or so. On the second...

    Explosive powder

    I just watched a fascinating documentary on the first naval battle in which between English and German navies. The English ships well outnumbered the German ones. Neither side's ships had structural advantage over the other's yet twice as many English ships were sunk as German ones. In...

    Bits and Pieces

    I know my workmanship leaves a lot to be desired but after buying a couple of flintlock rifles I wanted my accessories to be a bit more in keeping with traditional styles so I made a few practical knick knacks that are proving very useful. Firstly I made a couple of deer antler powder measures...

    Pedersoli Frontier inletting

    I'm the proud owner of a Pedersoli Frontier flintlock rifle. I'm not proud about the trigger guard and how it sits on top of the wood rather than being inlet into the wood. I'm wondering if it would be possible to inlet the trigger guard even a little bit. Do you see any problems with doing so...

    Range Report Pedersoli Frontier

    Second time at the range for the Pedersoli Frontier. 54 flinter. First few shots low and right. Tap tap on the sight. Out comes the file. I took a tiny shaving off at a time. I learned that one the hard way! Next shot, bullseye at fifty metres, off a makeshift benchrest. A couple more shots...

    Shooting Bag Zebra hide

    Hello all you crafty devils. I have started to make my first shooting bag out off a piece of zebra backskin I have left over from a shoulder mount. I am just keeping it simple as possible. I'm going off a commercially bought one from October Country. It will be about ten inches square with a...

    Pedersoli Frontier

    What to do with a black powder addiction? Feed it, of Course! After all, rehab is for quitters, right? So I looked into a Pedersoli standard frontier flintlock in. 54. There was one left at the wholesalers warehouse here so went ahead and ordered it. Our dollar has taken a fair tumble lately so...

    African Plains Game Hunt.

    Thought I'd start a new thread on my recent trip to Africa to share some photos and info. The first week as mentioned earlier was spent chasing Nyala around and I ended up getting this young bull on the last day. After that I rented a car and drove to East London, about a 10 hour trip. I...

    Flintlock goat

    Went for an evening walk on a friends property last weekend and came on to a small mob of goats just on dark. Took this one with an easy shot at 30 yards with the camera rolling. He piled up about 20 yds away. First kill with new Pedersoli Kentucky .50 cal flinter. Beautiful rifle to carry...

    1 week to Africa

    The countdown is on! I fly out next Friday afternoon to begin my lifelong dream of hunting African game with a muzzleloading rifle. Had a few shots with it and it is spot on at 100 yards. My load is 90gn fffg with a hand cast 450gn Lyman Great Plains projectile. I am starting to get pretty...

    Lion ban

    Bad news for my planned lion hunt in May. Our oh so caring govt just banned importing lion skins from Africa, so there goes my hunt up in smoke. This is in direct response to video footage of hunters shooting canned lions, some of which are drugged and released just prior to the hunt. So...

    Under lug staple

    I have a southern mountain rifle that I put together as a kit. The under lug staple has never taken to the barrel properly so I tried to weld it with an arc welder. It seems that the weld will take to the barrel and the lug individually but not joining the two. Are there differences in the...

    Africa - Finally

    All my life I have dreamed of hunting lion. There isn't much change out of 50 (years) for me so I decided to make it happen. I can't afford to do a 21 day safari for the whole big five. But that's okay I got onto a fair chase hunt for wild resident lion that I can afford so have booked the hunt...

    Tomahawk Handle?

    I just bought one of Tracks tomahawks and was wondering how much of the handle should protrude above the axe head and how to secure the head to the handle. Do I put a wedge down the centre of the top of the handle or just epoxy it in? Many thanks.
