    Windy McClung

    The first man to encourage me in muzzleloading 44 years ago, Fuller G. "Windy" McClung passed away on December 16th 2016. He was a veteran of WWII, a machine gunner in the 325th Glider Infantry Regt. of the 82nd AB Div. and a disabled coal miner. He was a premier gun builder, inventor and good...

    Great Barrel Maker Gone

    Paul Griffith, forum member "Shortstring", passed away last night from cancer. He is well known as a premier barrel maker, especially in chunk gun circles. He also holds the record for winning the most Alvin York matches. Please remember his family in your prayers.

    Looking for a Jukar Drum

    I don't know too much about the Spanish Jukar rifles, but the fellow who reads our gas meter knows I shoot and build ML's and stopped by the house today with the drum from a Jukar rifle and was wondering where he could get a new one. It's one of those that thread in all the way across the breech...

    First Woodrats of the Year

    Finally got a chance to go out and do a little hunting. I surveyed the Summer storm and early snowstorm damage from this past week as well. I took my .32 flintlock out and first thing I do is take a bad shot and miss. Walking around the ridge, I'm taking pictures of storm damage and see a...

    My Local Librarian, Bless Her!

    A few years ago our county library sold me several CW books at a dollar apiece. There were several good books, including a full set of "Lee's Lieutenants". Well, day before yesterday, she called saying they had some more for sale and that she remembered to tell me about it. I went up yesterday...

    300 Yard Shot w/Flintlock and RB

    Watched Impossible Shots the other night on the Outdoor Channel. Feller by the name of George Sutton from Maine shot a jug of milk at 200 yards offhand with a .58 Flintlock. Hit it the first shot. They said that footage was from a year or so ago. So now, they have him try the same thing at 300...

    New Squirrel Rifle

    Finally got around to building myself a squirrel rifle. Finished it Thursday. Here's a couple of pictures of it just before I started sighting it in. That accounts for the front sight being so big. I had to do a lot of filing and didn't get finished sighting until after our shooting match...

    Borders

    If any of you fellers live near a Borders bookstore, now is the time to pick up some books at a good price. They're selling history books at 50% off and I got an e-mail saying that they're offering some at 15% above that. Recently I bought a few at half price; The Artillery at Gettysburg, This...

    "Gettysburg"

    Been seeing some promos about a Gettysburg documentary/movie by Ridley Scott on the History Channel. Too early to tell, but might be interesting. He usually puts on a good show.

    Chunk Gun Record Broken

    Chunk gun history was made at the Roundbottom range Saturday. Charlie Bowers, known for his underhammer actions shot a 2.486" string at the West Virginia Championship. Five spiders including the Best X of the match- .030". Great shooting! :hatsoff:

    Gunpowder Prices in 1895

    Guess this is the right place to post this. I was looking through an 1895 Montgomery Ward catalogue the other day and ran across these in the Gun section. Kinda makes you sick, but we have to remember that they had to work harder for what they made and money was still scarce for most people...

    Bill Large Memorial Shoot, Deering, Ohio

    Yesterday the Bill Large Memorial Shoot was held at his range near Coal Grove, Ohio. This year, instead of a straight chunk gun shoot, it was an old-time match consisting of 5 shots offhand at 30 yds and 5 shots over a chunk at 60 yds. You could use any traditional rifle as long as you could...

    New Critter in the Stable

    Eighteen years ago, I started building a percussion companion to a flint .40 rifle I had built earlier. Before proceeding very far, I got diverted to other gun projects and such. Finally, a few months ago I started up again and Wednesday night I put the finishing touches on it. It's still a...

    Finally got 'er done!

    Despite delays due to family matters and of course that curse of all shooters, the need to go to a job every day, I finally got my new chunk gun finished and hopefully will take it out Saturday and sight it in and see what load will work the best. It is a mule ear (homemade) half stock with a...

    Loaded Flea Market Shotgun

    I picked up an old SxS ML shotgun along the road at the flea market this morning. It's in pretty bad shape and at this time not fireable due to really messed up locks. The barrels appear to be salvageable and if nothing else, the hammers, buttplate and trigger guard can be used on another gun...
