    Colorado State Muzzle Loading Association.

    Attended the CSMLA 2024 Winter convention yesterday. Good event. Lots of good people that I shoot with were there. Listened to a couple of classes. Bought a great mountain man shirt. Only thing is, the convention got a whole lot smaller in the 20 years I have attended. Muzzleloading is the...

    Dried meat

    Mountain men and natives dried meat for transport and storage. I am guessing not the same as jerky. I experimented with some beef. One batch I salted, lots of salt and air dried the meat. Turned out dried and salty, crumbles rather than bends. Been drying for weeks open container, smell and...

    FOR SALE ZELLE

    This may not be the place to discuss this , so move it if it needs to be moved. I strongly think this is a public service announcement. Had a guy that had been registered on this site for two days give me a PM saying he saw my inquiry to buy a .69 cal flint pistol, and knew a guy that had one...

    Looks like the 2021 Rocky Mountain National Rondy in Montana is cancelled due to extreme fire danger. It looks like they are trying to find another location.

    Over/Under Percussion 12 ga.

    A guy I know brought over an over/under 12ga percussion smoothie. It appears to be a commemorative for a Beretta anniversary. I've done some looking but I like insights from members on here. Any idea of an era where an O/U would have been used ?

    Trade Gun

    I recently purchased a prior owned 12 ga trade gun. It is in the white for its entire lengthy existence. I was thinking, so I briefly researched, one article I read, the writer stated that a large number if not most Trade Guns, came "blued". Would that mean some sort of external barrel...

    SOLD Older Navy Arms .44 Revolver

    I have had this revolver since 1978 and I shot it 12 times. It is a Navy Arms .44. It is a little rough, this 'Pits" on the cylinder aren't really pits, they fell smooth to the surrounding metal, I suppose it could be re-blued with little or no problems. Wedge screw is missing, looks like...

    Being of Polish descent ( not Polish American as I am an AMERICAN) I research traditional Polish recipes. Historically Poles were all over, just underdocumented.

    HB Brass Tinder Box w/ fire starting glass

    Apologizing up front. How common would the Hudson Bay tinder box with glass on lid be in the fur trade 1830's. Is it used by "rich folk", as I would guess the common trapper would be too poor to acquire such a fancy accruement.

    European wall hangers

    I got two "flintlock wall hangers" from my wifes father when he died. He retired from the navy and got these in Spain. They were made for the tourist trade and the barrels are cast or pop metal, they're manure and I am pretty sure the locks are pop metal. Only wall decoration. BUT I think I can...

    LOTM

    While watching movies, such as Last of the Mohicans, the Patriot, the Mountainmen, do you pay attention to the "accuracy" of things. It drives Kat to tears when I point things out. The funny part of this, is that I do not look for these things, sometimes they just jump out. I watch these types...
