    How about some Horseradish?

    Any mayo based salad (cole slaw, macaroni, chicken, etc) without a hint of horseradish is like a martini without the olive.

    What is your main use for your muzzle loaders?

    Mine serve three uses. 1. To startle my fellow shooters with a loud, distinctive BOOM. 2. To gift my fellow shooters with a challenging haze through which to find their mark. 3. To make any day of the year smell like The 4th of July.

    New swivel Gun and Thunder Mug

    Double salute to you, Sir. As a long time fan of black powder, a swivel gun is one of my goals. Also, as a strong supporter of 4th of July celebrations in a post 9/11 America, I have improvised a few "Thunder Mugs"(signal guns). These aren't to be handled carelessly. Anyone else hear that the...

    Putting lock back together

    Most spring issues can be resolved with a couple custom Dremeled jigs and and some C-clamps. Spend all the imagination you can while it's still free. Happy hunting, Tim

    I've made cast iron uglier...

    Now that I've achieved that mirror finish on my GPR flintlock's hardware, I'm reluctant to go all the way to the traditional look. That's just the sort of shop hobbiest I am. I know you can use 30,000 mile motor oils to keep steel looking good, but would this work on iron as well? Thanks for...

    GPR first range session

    The timing on this thread could not be better. I have a few details to touch up on my Lyman GPR kit and plan to take it out on Feb. 5. To keep myself interested, I've toyed with the lock and realized a couple things. These observations were made with cut flints. 1: Blade edge up strikes higher...

    BP revolver or BP single shot???

    Dang...All you can do is as is ask yourself why you want it. If it's for competition shooting, then you gotta go with what fits the bill. But if it's for your own love of hands on history, then it's completely up to you. Which appeals to you, more? The act of firing your shot, then going through...

    44 Pietta Army

    Sorry for the delay in responding, the holidays have kept me busy. I stopped by the store to ask the current owner if he had inherited the revolver with the store, but he said he didn't remember it being there when he bought the place. He did say he's heard of guns busted by chainfires, though...

    44 Pietta Army

    I finished and assembled several of these back when you could get the kits here and found that you will often need a different size ball from one pistol to the next. Ideally, you want the smallest ball that leaves a little ring shaved off when it's pressed into the chamber. If the ball is too...

    flyin feathers

    The few people I know with CVAs have nothing bad to say about them other than a couple of them needing some touch up work out of the box. CVA did, however, take a kick in the reputation in the 1990s. An alleged material or engineering defect in one of the centerfires they sold resulted in a...

    Season's Greetings from So. California

    I stumbled across this forum a few nights ago while looking for pics of a Lyman GPR flintlock I'm working on. I found those pics and a whole lot more. I've been shooting black powder revolvers off and on since the mid-1980s and look forward to sharing any useful knowledge and experience I can...
