    Pocket/Muff gun

    Picked this up at my favorite LGS today. it is .31 caliber, no markings, in rough shape. I have two different opinions on it from shops that have sold one. One thinks it is late -1830's, patterned after an Ethan Allen. The other thinks it is circa 1850, and likely Belgian. In either case they...

    One ugly rescue mission

    Not too long ago, my shooting buddy of thirty years passed away, I was going through my buddy's stuff for his wife, documenting what he had, and appraising it for sale, and came across an old CVA Kentucky rifle kit. It was one of the kits someone completely butchered. Note the missing nose...

    Windfall BP acquisition

    The next door neighbor brought by a box of black powder this afternoon. It belonged to her late husband. She is just starting to clear out his workshop. There are 2 cans of Gearhart-Owens FFFFG, 2 cans of Gearhart-Owens FFG, a can of DuPont FFFG, and a can of Meteor FFFG. These cans are all...

    New 1860 Army

    Finally found a Colt 1860 Army (made by Pietta) in perfect condition and at a price I wanted to pay. Unfired, with box and all paperwork. No scratches, no dents, no dings, great trigger - $189.

    Stuff I saw yesterday

    Went to a gun shop yesterday that had a pair of .58 caliber Zouave rifles on the rack. One he had marked as a "Jaeger", and the other as an "Adler". The prices were reasonable, and one had a bayonet with it. Not what I'm looking for currently, though. He also had a CVS Kentucky rifle kit gun...

    Barrel reline?

    Bob Hoyt has been recommended for lining my Harper's Ferry, which someone smooth-bored to 20 ga down to .54 caliber. Dumb question. How do I contact him about possibility/price/etc.?

    3rd Model Colt Dra

    Stopped by my local gun shop today to find they had an ASM 3rd model dragoon in the case. I had to read the price twice to be sure I wasn't misreading it - $130. I brought it home. It's an AD date code (1978), has good finish, has been shot but is nice and tight, with a good bore. It has a...

    2 Colt flasks

    I found a Colt pattern flask at the local gun shop today. It isn't an antique by any stretch of the imagination. The only marking is "Made in the USA" just under the brass spring stopper. In the below photos, the flask on the left is the new flask, the flask on the right is a Pedersoli...

    Found an interesting powder horn.

    Ran across this in the used bin at my local gun shop today. It's about 9 inches overall. I have no idea what it is or where it started. It could be a commercially available horn/kit. Or one that someone customized.

    Passed on a flintlock pistol

    Local gunstore had it marked "as is". It was a Jukar .45 caliber kit gun. It had been put together out of the box with no attempt at fitting stuff. Problem was the inletting for the lock was such that with the barrel in place, the upper edge of the touch hole barely showed above the pan. There...

    Less interest in my caplocks

    Why is it that now that I have a couple of flintlocks I am finding myself having less interest in my caplocks, even though I have several very nice ones?

    Waxing the stock

    This may not be the right area, but - For those of you wax the stock on your guns, what sort of wax do you use?

    Tow?

    Where can I buy tow for wadding or cleaning, at a reasonable price, other than Dixie Gunworks?

    Antonio Zoli Harpers Ferry barrel?

    Some time back, I picked up a .58 caliber 1803 Harpers Ferry rifle by Antonio Zoli. I discovered later that someone had reamed out the barrel to make it a 20 gauge smoothbore. Now, I am considering changing the barrel out. Does anyone know where I can get another barrel? Or is there a proper...

    Old Eynsford 1-1/2 F?

    Just scored nicely. A coworker's dad recently passed away. He was a black powder shooter. The coworker, who does not shoot at all, dropped off two new containers of Goex 3F, one open container, and one unopened container of Goex 2F, and one new container of Old Eynsford 1-1/2F black powder. I...

    20 gauge fowler starting loads?

    Just picked up this short-barreled 20 gauge fowler. Now I need to work up some decent loads, with the aim being rabbit and squirrel hunting. Any suggestions on where to start, as far as charge and shot type?

    20 ga English fowler

    Latest find at my favorite LGS. A little voice told me to stop by this morning while I was in town. First thing I laid my eyes on was a Pedersoli flintlock Kentucky rifle. It was in rough shape, with the stock beat to heck, and replacement thimbles. The thimbles were bigger than stock, and...

    Newly purchased Kentucky pistol

    Purchased for $40... Kentucky pistol, .45 caliber, Spanish-made lock and barrel. Probably an early CVA kit gun, but whoever did it did a very good job with fit and finish.
