    period explanations of rifling's effect

    A question on the smoothbore page about how a roundball flies got me wondering. What was thought when rifling was introduced? Any early science texts that explain why rifling worked, rightly or wrongly?

    1st RB trial in my 12g flintlock

    I had some smoothbore fun over the weekend. I bought a used 12g flintlock last year and used it for squirrel hunting. Since our ML deer seasons overlap with small game, I'd like to come up with a roundball load. I figure if I came across a deer and had time, I could drain out the squirrel...

    Lyman Deerstalker ignition

    Being a good son, I bought my father a Lyman Deerstalker for X-mas, a left hand .54 cal flintlock. We started playing with it a few weeks ago to get it ready for PA's flintlock season. He had lots of misfires with it while my GPR is automatic. We were using Goex 2F and 4F prime. 3F didn't...

    best paper targets for open sights?

    Does anybody have any opinions on what paper target design is best for open sights? I don't think I am consistently aiming at the same point on what I've used so far. With this imprecision, I don't know what is me and what is the gun or load.

    screw-in chokes and roundball question

    I have a question about chokes and roundball. I know from looking at the old posts that chokes aren't a problem if the ball fits through it. Since my new gun has a screw-in choke, could I simply remove the choke for roundball? Or should I just not do this because I might damage the choke...

    suggestions for montreal?

    I'm going to be Montreal this weekend with some buddies. I was wondering if anyone could suggest any ML sites I should check out. A good BP shop, a museum with some fusils or muskets to look at, historical sites, something else of interest?

    investarms fowler?

    I found a classified ad for a gun and figured I'd see if this learned board might be able to tell me something before I inquire about it. The ad says Investarms fowler, 20g, caplock, 28" barrel, 1/2 oct - 1/2 round, $180. I know Investarms is Italian and makes pretty nice flint and percussion...

    pistol safety when hunting?

    I keep mulling over getting a flintlock pistol. I'd want to carry it while hunting as a backup but I'm not sure how. Where do you put it? Some sort of holtser? Carry it primed? How do you make sure you don't accidently blow off a body part you're really fond of? ::
