    How to make Hairpipe

    I have been wanting to do this for quiet a while now and I can't seem to find a good tutorial on the subject. What methods have you used, what "machinery" would I need, what type of bone works best. I do prefer doing things "the way it was done in the day" so to speak. Any help or links to...

    1851 Pietta Confederate Navy

    I've found a .44 1851 Confederate Navy for sale that comes with a very nice leather belt holster, leather belt, extra cylinder, leather cylinder belt pouch, confederate sword and scabbord. The guy selling the complete set up is only asking $400 for everything and I am thinking about buying it...

    .32 Is it a good deal?

    I was just at my local (usually overpriced) gun shop picking up some BP and I happened to notice a Traditions .32 C&B Revolver with a 4" barrel. Since this store usually doesn't sell traditional BP guns I was shocked. What would a decent price for this gun be and can anyone tell me what model...

    Is brake cleaner bad?

    Today I finally got around to making a longer ramrod for my T/C .50 cal barrel so I could clean it. This is a new to me barrel and since it's longer than my other two I had no way of cleaning it all the way down. After running about 20 patches down, all of them kept coming out dirty. i...

    Whats in a name???

    I have been reading this forum for months and have learned a great deal from all of you guys but one answer still seems to elude me. What makes a Hawken a Hawken, a plains a plains, etc., etc.? I hear a lot of terms being used to identify a particular style of gun but I can't seem to wrap my...

    Gald I had a Ball Puller!

    And nope, I did not, have not yet, dry balled. But plan to, hence the reason I have a ball puller. Went to the range yesterday afternoon so my son could shoot his CVA .50 for the first time and he had a blast. I think he really did enjoy shooting a traditional gun. He tends to be very...

    Manual/Parts List for a Daly .50 cal??

    Does anyone know where I can find a manual or parts list for a Charles Daly .50 cal rifle? I've done a few internet searches using different search terms with no luck. I've purchased a fixer upper from a fellow member and would like to know a bit about it and I'm sure I'll have to replace something.

    First Time Out

    Finally got to go shoot my son's new CVA Mountain Stalker .50 cal yesterday. Well, new to him anyway. We picked this up at a pawn shop back in December. This was my first time shooting a BP gun and I will certainly not be my last!!! I had a blast. I wish I had had more time so I could have spent...

    First of all, Thanks to everyone who has replied to all of my previous post and questions. I have finally joined a local range and will finally get the opportunity to shoot my sons CVA Mountain Stalker .50 cal for the first time this week. While I admittedly know very little about muzzle...

    Recommened Capper

    Just when I thought I had everything I needed for my first muzzleloader I read somewhere that I need a capper. What are the thoughts of you guys who shoot these regularly. Any advice on what i should get, and more importantly, what I should stay away from? This will be for my son and he will use...

    Inspired by Stumpy

    I am very new to this and I have read almost every post over the last few days. So new in fact, I still haven't shot my first round since my local gun store still hasn't gotten in my .50 cal balls. Anyway, I was inspired by a post by stumpkiller where he repurposed an altoids can. Since I'm a...

    CVA Mtn. Stalker .50

    I recently purchased a CVA Mountain Stalker Rifle for my son who wanted a Muzzleloader as an accessory to his Boy Scout O.A. Native American Regalia. We looked for a "dummy" replica for awhile then found this gun at a pawn shop while visiting family out of town. Since it was only $99 and looked...
