    Harrisburg Hunters and Anglers holds a woods walk. It won't start up again until January however and runs for 12 weeks. I shot it for the first time this year. Good people and good time

    Getz barrels

    I noticed that. I was planning on at least looking at Getz Barrels at the show with the intent of picking one up. They were listed as one of the vendors to be there

    Do you use your flintlock for all seasons?

    Pretty much all I've used in 25 years. Other than one season in MO that I used my Grandfather's 243 that I inherited on his passing. That was a sort of Memorial hunt with it. Took a buck and it's been in the cabinet since. One year in PA I used a revolver just for something different since I...

    Traditions Pennsylvania Flintlock

    I agree with all what twisted 66 said. I have one. It was my 2nd flintlock. Took a LOT of deer with it from the time I got it in the early 90's until I retired it in 2000. It's an outstanding shooter. I even shot it in a couple matches and was asked it I had a green mtn barrel on it. Guys did...

    German Silver Buttplate

    I've looked at those (as well as from other suppliers). Candidates in case I need to modify. Depends on how close the dimensions are. I have not compared yet. Plan on doing that this weekend as well as put the majority of my parts list together. Buttplate will be the last item I decide on. Thanks

    German Silver Buttplate

    Lack of facilities would preclude that. I remember my old aluminum casting days from high school though and had fun with it. This weekend I'll start emailing suppliers and see what they can do. Maybe one will make a run of them. Or at least suggest a suitable sub

    German Silver Buttplate

    My next build I want to do a W.PA style rifle. The ones I'm leaning towards and like have a Maryland style profile. Trying to find an Armstrong style rifle buttplate in german silver. All I seem to be able to find are some Bedford Co ones. My next build I'd like to do is a Maryland profile...

    No.2 finally done

    Yea I was happy with the lock time. Shooting it seemed fast, but when I watched the couple videos the wife took it confirmed what I was thinking and I was impressed.

    No.2 finally done

    Well, it works. Good shooter too. Next trip I'll start filing the front sight. It's about 4 inches low at 50 yds. Had to tweak trigger pull when I got home. So should do even better next time short video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYcN_t5AlCM 1st 3 shots at 50 yds

    Final Barrel Oil Finishes

    My 1st barrel I used the BLO like the directions said, did not like the stickiness, so redid just using CLP I had on the shelf. It worked fine. My last build on the rifle I just finished, after neutralizing with a baking soda slurry, I just gave it a good soaking with CLP. works fine. I'm...

    Damp Rusting Cabinet Questions

    My last build I was having problems getting an even finish. That was with carding every 4 hours and reapplying solution as directed. I ran out of time that weekend. Figured I'd hit it again after I got home from work Monday. So I just rubbed the barrel down with a wet shop rag but did not...

    No.2 finally done

    A Bedford County PA inspired .50 caliber Flintlock. It's finally finished, a month behind schedule, but done. Still a lot of little mistakes, but not near as many as my first attempt at building flintlock rifles. Now, to decide on the next project.

    Damp Rusting Cabinet Questions

    This is the one I made. Just some faring strips for a frame and heavy plastic sheeting. I sealed the ends of the plastic with duck tape. Had some 1/4 plywood I used for a base and top. Think the whole thing cost me 10 bucks. Well, not counting the hotplate that I put a can of water on and keep...

    Opening of PA flinlock season - rain

    Saw it snowed a bit last night. Also a bit if a breeze and temp was down. Decided to go out later to do a sneak and peek of bedding areas. I know two areas they bed to get out of weather. Found two bedded at 65 yds. I could not see heads so waited. After about 15 minutes something spooked them...

    Opening of PA flinlock season - rain

    Been hunting wmu 2f the last 2 days, nadda. Trying different area tomorrow. Weather has not been bad. A little sleet this morning. It stuck to the ground and made seeing in the woods nicer. With Raincoat mixed with my priming powder and a cows elbow, I don't worry about weather.

    a little ffffg thing

    Doubt you can find them anymore, but I carry extra priming powder in my range box in a 35mm film canister. When hunting I also carry a couple film canisters with pre measured loads. Pretty much endangered items now, so I safeguard the dozen or so I have.

    PA Flintlock Doe

    Not the greatest pics, but best I can do right now and a number of you asked. TVM Early Lancaster in .54 cal (aka: Big Smokey). Got it late 1999. Retirement gift to myself when I retired from the USAF in 2000. Taken a few deer with it since. Had a Traditions PA Longrifle in .50 cal (aka...
