    need hammer fit advice

    I recently acquired a TC 'hawken' stock with lock but no hammer. I purchased a used TC hammer to put on. These are interchangeable TC parts......right? Well......no. The lock tumbler lug is too large for the hammer. Not by much, a thou on each side, maybe. But, so far, filing by hand hasn't...

    Log Cabin Shop good peoples

    I needed an obscure item and emailed the Log Cabin Shop in Lodi, Ohio. Got a prompt response from Liza Kindig and was able to order what I needed. I met and dealt with the Kindigs back in the '70s when I lived near Friendship. They have been in the ml business for a long-long time for good...

    .36 Colt Navy that powerful??????

    Watched an episode of 'Hollywood Guns, Fact or Fiction' last night. One of their tests 'proved' a .36 cal. Colt Navy c&b revolver was a lot (a real lot) more powerful than I personally would have thought. They fired a lead round ball, with real bp, from a distance of about 30 feet at a ballistic...

    WITHDRAWN Mountain Man mug

    My wife had this mug made by a potter/sculpter for me many years ago. Like so much, the time has come for it go to other hands. It is large and will hold any hot or cold adult beverage. It has been used but not extensively. $70.00 shipped, insured and well packed to U.S. only.

    SOLD dress

    This dress with black trim and highlights was made by my wife. She wore it only a couple times. She meticulously made it from a copy of an original period dress pattern. I don't know the 'period' but believe it is a copy of one worn by a First Lady. Actually, it would be 'period' correct for a...

    SOLD bundle of buckskins

    I have this bundle of seven buckskins bought at ronnie several years ago for projects I never got to. They are very soft and garment weight. Average size is 19"W X 29", vary, some larger, some smaller. Thickness is not identical on all. I bought them so cannot state type of tanning but they are...

    twist ?

    Quote above hijacked from Rich Pierce in the for sale forum. Now, we all know there are few members here as knowledgeable about things ml as Rich. I'm not criticizing the comment but I do find it interesting. The "as expected" part throws me some. Personally, I believe for a .50 any twist from...

    Bars n Buffs

    These two steel targets were my first prototypes when I went into the business of manufacturing them and others. They have been on display for 50 years. Recently I exchanged some PMs with Maniac about steel targets. I am going to send these to him where, hopefully, they will find a new life and...

    why no bench stuff?

    Been on this forum for quite a while now. I do not recall ever seeing posts about heavy barrel bench rest shooting or slug guns. I'll even betcha most here do not even know what slug guns are. Now, neither is my personal 'thing'. And, I have to admit most bench and slug shooters are...

    brass barrel question

    I am currently reading the historical narrative by Nathaniel Philbrick titled "BUNKER HILL". He describes several instances of patriots stealing cannon from the English. He often states that brass barrel cannon were highly prized and desirable. This would be from a purely war/fighting point of...

    A thanks from me.

    I hesitated making this post because it is so personal and I wrestled with deciding which forum to put it in. It is ml related. As most of you know, my wife passed away in January of this year. She had been an avid ml'er for many years. She won bunches of matches, medals and some trophies. One...

    Arkansas ml championship shoot

    Coming up, the Arkansas State muzzle loading championship shoot at Berryville, Arkansas, May 18-21. Always a good event even though attendance has been dropping. Nothing new anywhere. But, it increases your chances of winning. Berryville is in north-central Arkansas. The city has an old but...

Wood is some of the prettiest striped maple you will ever see. Finish is exceptional, absolutely beautiful. Lock is a Davis...

    SOLD canvas stuff for camp

    Here are five items selling as a group that I found to be very useful at ronny and camps. There is just a plain canvas sack for carrying 'stuff'; a haversack I used when walking around ronny and carried 'stuff'. Mainly I carried a pan to eat out of and a cup for when invited to eat at another...

    Gun Stories boo-boo

    I watched Gun Stories with Joe Montanga last night. Normally, I like his show and I tape it so I don't miss any. Last night, however, I was very disappointed with what he presented. The main theme of this show was the Hawken rifle. While the facts stated about the Hawken history were, I believe...

    wife remembrance

    Today would have been the birth day of my recently deceased wife. So, please excuse me if I'm a bit mushy today. She was an active ml'er and won many matches over the years, both at Friendship and local clubs. In going through her jewelry, I found, locked away with everything else, a tin of...

    SOLD horn carved ladies broach

    Going through my wife's belongings I realize I cannot keep everything. She was an active ml'er and reenactor. This broach was bought by me from George VonDriesche sometime in the 1970s. George was well known as a high level horner who did dimensional carving on his horns, not scrimshaw. This...
