    Fowler expectations with round ball

    Realizing Fowler is a shotgun first… what can you expect with round ball in accuracy? I’m thinking of getting one…. A local gun shop has a nice .62 for sale.

    What do these patches tell you?

    Today I shot my .36 flint at the range..... Was shooting very well as it typically does. I found a couple of my patches and started wondering if they look ok or tell something.... You know like tea leaves. :grin: Honestly I don't think I've ever looked at them before which is why I'm...

    Canon at the Grand Hotel

    Im not sure if this the type of thing that can be posted here but I thought it was pretty cool. The family and I were there last week. The Grand hotel in Point Clear, Ala. (close to Mobile and on the bay) has some Civil war history as it was used as a Confederate hospital during the war. They...

    Cross pinning ramrod tip

    I just finished making my first ramrod which isn't as easy as I thought..... :wink: after this one, the next will be a bit easier. I bought the blank and tip from TOW. Anyway to my question.... What do you use for the pin? I thought of a piece of a paper clip cut and glued in then filed...

    I want to make a pair of shooting sticks

    I have some ideas on making some but I'd like to hear from you guys that have made them. Photos too if you have them. I know I can buy them but I'd rather make it. I suppose the thing I'm really confused at is what can I use as short spikes in the end to put it in the ground? Nails? Thanks...

This was my first attempt at making holsters from scratch. They are for my 1860 percussions I use for cowboy action. Left hand holster is in a...

    My new (to me) TVM southern Flinter

    I bought it used, but it hasn't been shot much at all. Absolutely the prettiest rifle I own. .36 caliber, 42" barrel and fancy maple stock. I know it has a siler lock, but I'm not sure what make the barrel is or the triggers. No matter.... its a keeper for sure. Haven't shot it yet. Probably...

    Can someone ID this lock?

    I'm looking at a rifle for sale. The seller doesn't know much about it and there are no marks of any kind on it to say who made it. I've been trying to ID the lock myself but am coming up with nothing. The strange thing to me is the screw forward of the frizzen spring. There is one...

    Hello from South Louisiana!

    Hello all, The short story is I'm dusting off my front loaders after them sitting in the safe for many years. :thumbsup: Back in the very early 80's I built three CVA kits. Big Bore Mountain .58, Squirrel rifle .32, Kentucky flintlock .45. I'm actually in the process of refinishing the...
