    Daniel Boone's Knife?

    Having never seen a picture of Daniel Boone's knife I do not know what it looks like. Dixie had a long knife that they say is a copy of his knife. One that the Brits ordered from the HBC and gave to the Indians an Daniel took from one. Any truth to this? Is there a picture or reliable...

    Refinishing lock plate

    I have a Chambers Late Ketland lock. The side plate has some file marks on the outside surface of the plate :cursing: . I would like to bring it back to the original finish. I am wondering if I abrasive blast it that it would come back. If it will work I am wondering if glass beads would be the...

    Introduction to Muzzleloading...

    I have been invited to put on a BP program for BOW (Becoming an Outdoors Women) at our club. I am looking to see if there is already a document out there that would cover the basics of muzzleloading etc. that could be handed out to the ladies. Thank you. I have found one from NZ.

    19th century muskets discovered by Newfoundland fishing trawler

    A fishing trawler made an interesting find last Thursday. The Newfoundland Lynx, an OCI (Ocean Choice International) trawling vessel based out of St. Johns, NL, was fishing for scallops just within the 200-mile limit off the coast of Nova Scotia when it unexpectedly hauled up a crate of Pattern...

    Numrich Arms Lock spring needed

    Looking for a lock spring for a Numrich Arms H&A Minute Man rifle. It is not cast but made from spring steel. I've tried looking at the usual places but no luck so far. I would even be interested in a complete lock. Or does anyone know of another lock that could be used as a replacement? What...

    Norwegian Baker Tent?

    Was just watching the Expedition Unknown program. He was in Norway at a Living Viking Community. Off to the side they had a few Baker style tents. I would believe that these would have been HC and common for the period in Norway. It appears that Norwegians first came in numbers to NA in 1825 or...

    Pedersoli SxS with 2 pair of barrels

    I looked at an older (70s 80s) Pedersoli sxs that has sxs 12ga and a sxs .58 cal barrel sets for it. The butt stock is weighted as well. Pedersoli's site currently indicates a .575 RB mold for the .58s. Is this true for the older ones as well or would a .570 RB do. Not sure of the twist but I...

    H&A Minuteman mainspring

    While reinstalling the mainspring in a Hopkins & Allen Minuteman lock the mainspring broke by the tab. :cursing: It appears that someone had drilled and tapped an additional hole in the lock plate and drilled a notch in the side of the spring just forward of where the arm turns up for the tab...

    Acquired a Hawken pattern rifle that has BOHEMVA MOUNTAIN RIFLE No 9 on the right side side flat near the lock. Has any one heard of this name before? It sounds familiar but cannot place it. The barrel is 34" and retained to the stock with a hooked breach and two wedges. There are other...

    What is your favorite Turkey load?

    I want to go out this year and get a Turkey with my Curly NSW .62 Trade Gun. I have patterned it. The center of the pattern appears that the 1/2" fiber wad is pushing thru the center as the center of the pattern is a little sparse. I will have to try ones that are 1/4" thick. I have made up...

    Capper for Pedersoli Remington 1858

    Trying to find a capper that fits the cylinder on a Pedersoli Custom Remington 1858 revolver. I have tried regular cappers for revolvers but they are just a tad to wide to fit all the way down on the nipple. Thanks

    First center seam sheath

    Here is my first attempt at a center seam sheath. I used some left over leather that I had to build the center seam sheath for a knife that I made last year. I thought at first of making a neck knife with it and then if I do not like then I could then attach it to or make a strap, bag or belt...

    Lock and gun ID

    Picked up a 20/.62 Smoothbore that was supposedly built from parts from Pecatonica River Long Rifle a while ago but unsure of when as he has passed. The barrel is a double band hex to round .62 cal 41 1/2" long and blued or plum browned. The touch hole liner is a hex head style. They have...

    Portable Loading Table

    Looking for pictures or plans of period style folding tables so I can build one to use at the trap range for reloading my SxS. I know some load from their bag and some load from a box and or a table. Tried looking on the net but all I get is load data tables. Thanks.

    Well Sept was an exceptional month for me this year. Up at Heffley Creek I bought a raffle ticket for a .54 cal Lancaster rifle, with a 38” Rice flared barrel, L&R lock, double set trigger made by D. Taylor Sapergia. At the council fire they drew the winning ticket. When they called out my...
