    I have a naval sea pattern flintlock in .62 caliber. For those who shoot them, do you use a .595 or .60 size ball?

    Touch hole liner

    So I've been thinking about making a cannon on a naval carriage. I've noticed that both affordable barrels have seamless steel liners that are required to be drilled. Is it advisable to put in a touch hole liner? If so, can I buy one or must I make it?

    Help needed

    Given my financial status I am left with the choice between Hern and Greystar. As I am new to this, I would ask for any advice concerning the better choice. First, I am no new comer to black powder or to ordinance, being a Army Master Gunner for 12 out of 20 years. I also do own a mortar...

    Has Hern gone under? I finally went to take the plunge and their website is dead.

    If you have a four screw patch box with made in the USA stamped on the barrel, pretty much sums up it's a Douglas barrel.

    SOLD .50 CVA Mountain Rifle w/Douglas Barrel

    This is the only picture that didn't belong here - it goes to the big bore 58 I sold here last week. It's still in the white while this CVA Mountain rifle is plumb brown.

    SOLD .50 CVA Mountain Rifle w/Douglas Barrel

    I did, but it didn't last long; it's shipping out today to Colorado. I'm culling my BP pieces and selling all that aren't custom made. Had spinal surgery last Monday and I'm more interested in learning to walk again. Selling off a bunch of my cartridge guns too. I guess I'm re-prioritizing...

    SOLD .50 CVA Mountain Rifle w/Douglas Barrel

    Yea, somehow the picture of the CVA Bigbore 58 which I am also selling got mixed in. I can't find a way to edit it out though.
