    Muzzle Loading Silhouette?

    I have been looking all over the internet for any information regarding muzzle loading silhouette. NMLRA discusses BPCR, but not anything specific to muzzle loaders! I am thinking 1/2 scale out to 100 yards. If anyone has any information on existing competitions, please let me know. I do...

    Recommended Replacement Nipple Wrench?

    I searched the forum and can not believe the topic of best nipple wrench has not come up. I need to replace cheap, defective nipple wrenches, both for rifle and revolver. The ones I have were acquired with starter kits, or came with used guns. The ones I have bought were CVA. All seem to be...

    Cold Weather Care

    Just got back to central Texas from Calgary, Canada, where it was 8 below. Got me wondering how to take care of our equipment in really cold weather. Where I live it does not get that cold, but up on the plains, it very easily could have dropped into single digits if not below two hundred...

    Personalize and Decorate my GPR

It is a halfstock, heavy barrel percussion about 36 caliber and has double set triggers and a rear peep sight and a fold up front sight like a Sharps would have. Patchbox in stock. The Lock seems...

    Making Bone Buttons

    I am trying to make a few bone buttons for my pouches and various other projects, but am finding them too brittle to work with. Any hints about how to make them more workable? These are bleached bovine bones I picked up out of the pasture we call cemetery hill (where dead large animals go to...

    Curing a new ramrod

    Broke the ramrod on my Dixie Tennessee Mountain rifle after 20 years of use. No, I do not use a separate range rod, but probably should. Any way, some thirty years ago we used to cure new hickory ramrods in kerosene for a couple of weeks to make the rods more flexible. Is that still the norm...
