    A muzzle loading assault rifle

    Well that’s what the wording on it says. I just looked it up in search and only got one hit that didn’t go into any detail [back in 2012]. Always been fascinated by the Yooper.

    Kentucky pistol

    I’m starting the remodeling of my Pedersoli “Kentucky” into something, hopefully, more historically accurate. First job, remove the finish. This was easier said than done, my fiercest paint stripper did absolutely nothiall, so it was strip by scrapers and abrasive paper. It came off...

    Supplies for muzzle loaders

    Specifically for pistols I got three car bonnet support arms from a friend’s scrap bin. The shaft is 5/16” by 10”, just right for a range rod and for a puller for the .45 Kentucky pistol.

    Pedersoli .45 “Kentucky”

    This almost new pistol is waiting at my dealer’s for my paper work to arrive from the RegIstry. But I’ve had my hot little hands on it and it’s in excellent condition. Here’s a couple of not good photos that I took as the Sun was getting low. After a close examination I couldn’t find how the...

    A Bess like musket

    If we were to call the common Bess “Miss Bess” then this one would be “Lady Bess” She’s very refined and her lock shows good breeding. Unfortunately I’ve hit a snag and can’t bring the lock up Seller’s text, ”A rare and very high quality 11B Brown Bess type flintlock musket made by H. W...

    Another fine pistol from my favourite Australian vendor, even though I can’t afford 99% of his stuff.A 1627 Snaphance. The site, which is fairly extensive, is easy to follow and has no restrictions on copying, is called ‘Steel and Shot’; https://steelandshot.com.au/
