    Shipping Caps to Alaska

    Anyone here shipped percussion caps to Alaska? I'm just curious what the hazmat fee would be. I have enough caps to last a little while and hoping they show up on the shelves here before I have to look elsewhere. Looking like most of the suppliers in the States are out of stock as well.

    Halfstock NW Trade Gun?

    I just noticed this on a local sales site. Interesting since I'd never heard of halfstock NW trade guns. Looks like a really nice piece. I had it in my mind that I've bought enough muzzleloaders for a while so this ad needs to go away soon...

    Brown Bess Light Load

    I have yet to get out to shoot my recently acquired Pedersoli Brown Bess carbine but have been doing a lot of searching around on these forums for advice in the meantime. Sounds like paper cartridges and wads are more popular than a tight patched ball for loading ball. I'll probably try all...

    TOTW Screw Kit for Bess

    I was browsing the TOTW online catalog and I noticed they sell a screw replacement kit for the Brown Bess. Anyone know if those would only fit an original, or would they also be compatible with my Pedersoli Bess Carbine replica? I was thinking a few extra screws would be good to have in the...

    Shot Shortage?

    I wanted to try shooting shot in the Brown Bess Carbine I purchased recently. Seems like shot has been sold out here in Fairbanks, AK since I started looking for it. Is there a national run on shot now, or is this just a local phenomena?

    Brown Bess Flints?

    I just acquired a Pedersoli Brown Bess carbine yesterday as a self gifted early birthday present. Went to Track of the Wolf online to get balls, accessories etc. I also intended to get flints but the 1 1/;8 x 1 1/4 flints that the catalog said were the correct size for the Bess were out of...

    Cabela's black powder?

    Does Cabela's still sell muzzleloaders? I went to their online catalog and, unless I'm missing something, it appears that the black powder section is gone.

    Lyman GPR Primitive Sight

    I'm trying to install the primitive sight that came with my GPR. It just slides right through the dovetail with a fair amount of play. Anyone know how far one can safely peen down the edges of the dovetail to make it fit? Would a shim or another replacement sight be a better solution? Thanks.

    Small Bore Pedersoli?

    Anyone know if Pedersoli Blue Ridge rifles are available new in anything smaller than a 50 caliber? Thanks.

    Hawk Handle Problems

    I thought I'd try hawk throwing so ordered an Iroquois Hawk from TOTW. Not knowing what I was doing I assumed the handle was the right shape and just tapped the head on to the handle and commenced throwing. Of course the head and handle parted company on the first throw and did likewise after...

    Miroku Guns?

    I've been casually browsing GunBroker. I noticed a couple of long rifles made by Miroku. There was a .45 cal. flintlock with bids up around $250.00. It was a little funky looking with a wide brass strap (two piece stock?) and what looked like a fake patch box. Any experience with those as far...

    NW Trade Gun?

    I've been contemplating getting another muzzleloader for quite a while. Right now I have a percussion GPR and Kentucky Pistol and can't decide if I desire a percussion shotgun or a flintlock more. I'm certainly not one who has a budget for getting a new gun every payday, so can't afford both...

    Powder Flask Mystery

    I have a Traditions cylindrical brass flask that is very inconsistent about dispensing powder when the button is pushed. Is this a common problem? I just don't get it. The valve opens all the way when the button is pushed, the aperture is clear, my powder (I'm using Pyrodex RS) is always dry...

    Access Heritage guns?

    Large selection of Flintlocks here. They are sold as non-firing replicas which could be made shootable by drilling out the flash hole. Anyone know who makes these? It's hard to believe they'd be selling quality guns at that price. http://www.militaryheritage.com/muskets.htm

    Spanish Kentucky Pistol

    I picked up a Kentucky style percussion pistol at a gun show today. I was told it was a .45 caliber. The markings on it consisted only of a serial no. and "Made in Spain". After searching on the web, I'm thinking that it was manufactured by Dukar. I bought some .454 balls for it today, but...

    Caplock or Flintlock with Cold Fingers?

    I was out shooting today. It was 0F with a light breeze. Relatively balmy for here this time of year but fumbling with caps still had me running back to the campfire (okay, the defroster of a Honda CRV) to thaw out my fingers. A really good capper would certainly help but I haven't found one...

    GPR Accuracy

    I'm working on sighting in my .54 Lyman Great Plains rifle. I've put over 300 rounds through it now so it should be broken in. It may be my imagination but it almost seems like it was shooting smaller groups when I first got it than it is now. I'm still not sure if it's the sights and my old...

    Cheap shotgun?

    any recommendations for a low cost traditional style shotgun? I'm thinking about grouse hunting with some occasional clay shooting. Percussion, single barrel would work fine for me.

    Caps and Nipples

    I just replaced the stock nipple on my Lyman Great Plains rifle with a Hot Shot nipple from Track of the Wolf. There were two instances of getting a "click" when I pulled the trigger. I replaced the nipple with the old one and didn't have any further problems. I was surprised I had trouble as...

    Wind drift graph

    I know it's probably been discussed here several thousand times, but does anyone know of a wind drift graph for PRB for various ranges? I found a calculator online but I don't trust my computer to be fast enough right now to handle it. Thanks!
