    I recently purchased my first rocklock, a slightly used Pedersoli Frontier 54 cal. While waiting for the weather to clear , and after reading so much on flint types, I decided to order a few to try. I decided to try Stonewall Creek Outfitters cause I've heard of uniformity issues with flints...

    What load combos for Pedersoli 54 cal?

    My first flinter should be on its way, a Pedersoli Frontier in 54 cal. Pedersoli's website shows a recommended ball size of .535 with a .010 patch. What do you guys use in your Pedersoli 54s?

    Value of a J. Garner .58 cal?

    Any ballpark on a price for a fullstock flintlock (I believe it to be a Siler) in good condition marked J.Garner? Search resulted in multiple threads about Jack Garner, just trying to narrow down price for one of his guns in .58 cal. Nothing fancy, guess it would be considered a Po' Boy...

    Been on the hunt for a good hawk

    Well, my eyes are 'bout crossed from searching the net to find a good hawk. There are what appear to be some very nice examples on Ebay (Craig Barr, Devin Price, Mark McCoun, etc.). Unfortunately they seem to go beyond what a po' boy can afford. I've also looked at Fort Turner, Track, and a...

    Is .50 cal. roundball enough for a cow elk?

    I have a 50 cal. CVA Mountain Rifle that loves to shoot roundball. I drew 2 tags for here in Northern Nevada, a mule deer buck, and one for cow elk. I know the roundball will be OK for the deer, and was planning on using it on the cow elk also. Is this a bad idea? If so, I'll have to get busy on...

    Are underhammer rifles frowned upon at traditional shoots?

    Gonna buy me a ball thrower to use at a local shoot, never been to one yet, and was wondering what your opinions were on this. As far as I know, this would be a Rendezvous type setting.

    Removal of excess wood

    Just got a great deal on a T/C Renegade kit gun that someone assembled without finishing the stock, it appears that the prior owner just smeared on some stain and called it good. There is an excess amount of wood around the lock, trigger guard, and tang. I have limited tools, but may be able to...
