    WANTED WTB - A FEW .060 Veggie Wads for a .45 Cal

    Some load testing getting out of hand with my paper patched slug gun. Anyone have maybe 20 or so .060 thick veggie wads for a .45 (would prefer about .460 diameter) they'd be willing to throw in an normal stamped envelope and ship for say $5? I can't end up with bags of 1000's of various wads...

    Wad Question for Paper Patch Slug Gun

    Finally fit my underhammer chunk action to an old fast twist paper cross-patch barrel with false muzzle I've had for years to play with. Luckily it came with the sizer die the previous owner used so I get to start playing with conical bullet weights and loads, but I have a wad question. I have a...

    FOR SALE Reaves Goehring Bess Hardware

    First, I'm NOT a Bess historian and I'd planned to use these pieces on a big 'ol blunderbuss build but ended up switching over to fowler parts. The buttplate is a #29 around 6" high and with a 7" comb. This is the full-size piece I think for a long land. Then the heavy trigger guard with swing...

    FOR SALE WTB: Very Specific Double Trigger Set

    I have commissioned a recreation of an original and have collected everything I need but the triggers. I have a set of Roller triggers that are very close (but already in a rifle) and an original set of Cain triggers that can likely be modified to match really close, but I thought I'd see what...

    FOR SALE Markwell Arms .41 Smoothie Derringer Kit

    Was helping dad clean up his gun room and we ran upon this kit stored since the 70s based on receipts for other items in the box it was in. .41 smoothbore, shiny bore with machine marks. Can't get a decent pic since my borelight almost as long as the barrel 🤣 Patina/light rust on the metal parts...

    Mystery Barrel Has Me Stumped

    Recently picked up a nice little older custom build and the barrel has me stumped. I would put the build late 80s at most but the barrel is really interesting. There are no builder marks at all but the bottom flat is actually marked "TOP" with a Sharpie so either it breached better 180 degrees...

    SOLD SPF - Sitting Fox K-47 TN Halfstock .45 Kit REDUCED

    Project I bought probably 10 years ago never got around to taking up space in my workshop. Bought the kit to build a compact light flintlock for deer hunting and it should tip the scales around 6.5 lbs. Kit has upgraded stock CM3, Davis #4 triggers, banana patch box, inlet for lollipop tang, and...

    WANTED Double Set Trigger for Target Rifle Build

    Looking for another set for upcoming build with machined post front "tricker" like my Cain set shown. Single bar or double bar fine. Would love to find a matching Cain but that's slim. Headed to CLA in a couple weeks to look but thought I'd throw it up here. Let's say $100 for the right set...

    Fire Blued Lock

    Just picked up a new toy and I knew it had a fire blued lock.....but this thing is otherworldly compared to anything I've ever seen. These pictures don't do it justice but this thing is BLUE and unbelievably consistent color across the whole plate, but definitely some rainbow to the cock and...

    WANTED Flintlock Pistol

    Local club starting to shoot pistols some so thinking of making the jump. Was gonna just build a Track Kentucky but barrels and Small Silers both on back order. But that's pretty much exactly what I'm looking for, a simple Kentucky style. Nothing fancy although higher grade maple a plus, but...

    Rebreeching Barrel

    Just picked up a little flinter online and the poor gal showed up quite a mess 😕 Good parts but poor execution. It's fixable but not simple. First things first, back 1" of the Green Mountain barrel gotta be scrapped, squared, and breech re-tapped. I don't have the tooling and my local...

    Single Trigger Improvement

    One of my favorite rifles and incredibly accurate from bench, but pull just too much offhand. Running a tuned Chambers lock with a good clean engagement at sear/tumbler.....and I'd be hesitant doing much more there or with sear spring. Would rather improve trigger at this point to see what i...

    Cast Off Question

    Ive been drooling over a beautiful rifle for a while now and scared to take the shipping plunge due to way more cast off than any rifle i own. Easily perceptible even from small photos. Its a colonial and i understand that the cheek piece plays a part too.....but this one is 1/2" of cast...

    SOLD Monster 50+ lb Heavy Bench Underhammer Rifle

    Just throwing this up in hopes somebody may know an interested party. With the distance to any heavy bench competitions this rifle has only been used as a hobby and exhibitions at local shoots. Took me a couple years to find one when i started looking. The rifle deserves more. By far the...

    ML Bench Shooting Forums

    I never really got into bench shooting, just did a little light/heavy PRB bench work for fun or exhibitions at local clubs but are there any active forums anyone knows about out there devoted to the big heavy guns. Would love to get out of the game and make some space, but hard to peddle heavy...

    SOLD Southern .62

    Let me preface by saying this is not a school rifle.....i like iron southerns and needed a utilitarian hunting rifle for any game North America could offer and built to handle any inclement weather or heavy load i could throw at it. Circa 2013 Mike Lange had a good stick of maple that had...

    SOLD Chambers Large Siler Gunmakers Lock Kit

    Bought in the hopes of correcting a poor lock fit on an old rifle, but the backside geometry just wont work. Sear arm and spring would be outside the footprint of the final lock plate shape in my situation ☹ $100 shipped.

    Cleaning Barrel After Sessions With Teflon Patches

    Been using 0.020 Minuteman teflon patches for years as i cant touch the accuracy in my chunk gun (believe me I've tried to find a substitute) but cleaning the barrel is backbreaking. Has anyone found a good solvent or cleaner to remove the green/blue teflon residue other than elbow grease and...

    SOLD Russ Hamm Lock (Flint) Never Mounted

    Bought this from vendor at CLA show several years to replace a Hamm percussion on a late 70's rifle i love to keep "authentic". Just never got around to doing it. Sold to me as a timed and worked lock and i have no doubt about that claim. Its tight, fast, and sparks as well as any of my...
