    18th Century Artisan Faire

    Spent yesterday afternoon at the 18th Century Faire show, now in Carlisle. Some longtime vendors were not present, like Gen Ni Si Ho, at least that I could see, and the usual stalwarts were there in force. Tremendous amount of talent in one place. So much fun. Had a long talk with Duelist’s Den...

Last high bidder at...

    Flat horn with brass spout

    Jim Spray’s brass spout arrived today, to be matched to my first flat horn. Got the horn yesterday from Roland Cadle at the 18th Century Artisans Faire in Carlisle. Also picked up a ball bag. All are destined for the planned .62 flintlock British sporting rifle. Ran out of time yesterday to pick...

    Finally connected after many misses last week

    First week of flintlock here in Pennsylvania was fun and also frustrating. I learned quickly that I had not practiced enough with the flintlock, because I missed several deer at rock throwing distance, like 40 yards. One was a doe I missed three separate times with two different flintlocks...

    Identify this tang

    This cool hooked breech percussion tang is part of a collection of parts assembled by a member here, who sold me his rifle “kit”. Because I’m going to make his gun into flintlock and not percussion, I’m looking for the flint version of this tang. If such a thing was ever made historically, or...

    .62 cal speed loaders available

    Tonight a visit to Bass Pro for one thing led to a search for other things not necessarily on “the purchase list,” but things I’ve wondered about and tried elsewhere without success. One such thing is finding a speed loader for the .62 rifle and I suppose for any .62 caliber firearm. The ones...

    New York late muzzleloader

    just about every year I do a wilderness hunt in upstate New York. Best hunt of the year. This year my time was spent hunting elk in PA. Now I have this New York license and some time to take a muzzleloader to New York in their late season. Question: Can my regular season buck tag be used as a...

    PA elk hunt results

    So we had six days to fill our elk tags here in the Pennsylvania general elk season, last Monday through today, which is essentially the firearms season for elk. With business and family commitments, I was able to scout last Sunday and hunt until closing hours Thursday. Three friends joined me...

    The .62 rifle took a 2022 deer

    This week is early muzzleloader season here in Pennsylvania. We can take antlerless deer and black bear. It’s probably my favorite season for a slew of reasons: Beautiful Fall weather (usually), leaves turning color, game animals not yet on high alert and pretty easy to stalk or call in, the...

    Drew a PA elk tag, gonna need a ton o’ practice 😳

    Drawing a Pennsylvania elk tag, bull or cow, is a once in a lifetime event, if ever. Only 21 years passed of applying annually and accruing preference points before I drew a cow elk tag on Saturday. Immediately several friends called or texted me and basically said “I hate you, you lucky SOB.”...

    Bullet board

    Finished my first ever bullet board today. It’s .62 caliber, which requires a 5/8” Forstner drill bit. And although it’s a 0.625” hole, and my patched ball for this particular rifle uses patched balls at 0.620” total, it works/fits just fine. The wood is a piece of scrap from one of our rifle...

    Nock rifle at GAOS

    NRA’s Great American Outdoor Show is this week in Harrisburg, PA. Among the many film industry firearms on display is this Nock flintlock rifle, used in the movie The Alamo. Originally it was made for repelling naval boarding parties. About seven years ago NRA’s American Rifleman magazine had an...
