    Pedersoli Scout in .45 cal.

    I recently bought a new .45 Pedersoli Scout Flintlock as my first Muzzle Loader. I really like it. It is an accurate fast handling little Carbine. Only negative I have is that Flint Life is not great. Appears to me and a few other more knowledgeable Folks that the Cock's Spring is a little...

    Minimum Caliber for Feral Pigs

    I have a Hunt coming up this weekend. All I have is a .45 and I'll be Hunting in the same Manor I Hunt with my Selfbow, be patient, get in Close, be even more patient and Shot placement. I think having the disipline not to take a Shot is most important, be prepared to walk away if a great Shot...

    Cleaning 150/200 years ago

    Speculating again it would have been advantages to more than one Firearm. Provided one had the means you would Clean Long Arm, have Pistol at ready, clean Pistol have Long Arm at ready. Then of coarse if things got real interesting you had your Knife.

    Bead work on a rifle case

    Outstanding work ! Many People do not fully appreciate the time involved in Projects such as these. I used to make and sell various Leather Hunting Accessories to pay for my Shooting. I spent 54 hours on a Tooled Back Quiver with Snake Skin Inlays and people thought I was a thief asking $240...
