    Building a Chambers Little Fella's Rifle

    Looking forward to seeing that! (I'm taking notes for my future builds. Really appreciate folks like you sharing your processes and results.)

    Building a Chambers Little Fella's Rifle

    Looks amazing as always. Are you going to brown the lock too?

    Building a Chambers Little Fella's Rifle

    Wow. There are no words. I got to visit Chambers' shop last month and it was the trip of a lifetime. You are definitely doing justice to the kit. Very impressive and exciting for this newbie to watch. Wish more builders would take the time to do detailed step-by-step blogs like this.

    Building a Tennessee Rifle

    Great video. Bookmarked for future watching. Definitely interested in building from scratch sometime in the future.

    Flintlocks at the range and accuracy

    Thanks for the input. I checked again and my range is technically "unsupervised" though there are full-time range safety guys there in the shack behind the firing line. Just got more powder...I'll probably take it out next time I go.

    Flintlocks at the range and accuracy

    Howdy gents, I've got two rank beginner questions here... 1. How well should my Pedersoli Brown Bess shoot? Say, at 50yds what MOA should I expect? That's probably a somewhat anachronistic term in this context, but it's what I know. I use .69 balls, two lubed patches so it doesn't fall down...

    Gonna help a bunch of foreign students shoot my BB.

    So in two weeks a CCW instructor from my church will be taking 30+ Chinese college students shooting. I'll be there along with a couple other folks to help maintain safety and I'm thinking of bringing along my Bess. Should be a fun chance for them to experience a wide range of American...

    Brown Bess cleaning nightmare - Newbie

    Very very helpful. That sounds like exactly what is going on. I now keep it on a wall rack with the muzzle pointed down, so some of that should be eliminated, but thanks for the pointers. spudnut: Good point. :) Hadn't thought of all that rifling. Sounds like I need to get out and shoot it...

    Brown Bess cleaning nightmare - Newbie

    Just by way of following up... I did end up sending it to Dixie's armorer for cleaning. I was about to leave on a 4month business trip and needed to have the peace of mind knowing that it was cleaned up and wouldn't be deteriorating while I was away. Wow did it come back nice! There...

    Greetings from the Ohio Territory

    Thanks for the warm welcome! I can tell this site is quickly going to become daily reading for me. Lots of knowledge here. This is definitely going to be a fun adventure. It's not exactly hobby #1 for me right now, but the interest is there. I've got a good friend (about 40yrs older) who hunts...

    Brown Bess cleaning nightmare - Newbie

    Wow. You all are amazing....thank you very much. Looks like I found the right forum. This is way more info than I thought I'd get! By way of update: I was able to fashion a little worm-like tool out of my broken wadding puller and some electrical wire. That got rid of pretty much all the...

    Greetings from the Ohio Territory

    Hello, I found this forum on a panicked search for cleaning info on my musket (see smoothbore forum) and am happy to be here. I'm a big history buff, hence the Brown Bess musket, but know little to nothing about caring for or the operation of these guns. Frankly, other than a couple .22s, I'm...

    Brown Bess cleaning nightmare - Newbie

    Good morning everyone, As the title suggests, I'm a newbie at this. Thanks for having me on board, and I hope I'm not too much of a nuisance. I have a Pedersoli Brown Bess that was gifted to me. I'm fastidious about keeping it clean and regularly spend over 2 hours going over it after the...
