    My first build, Pedersoli Trade Musket Kit

    Well, just finished minute’s ago. My first kit build. After I wiped a bit of Baracade on the barrel, I felt lost. I, being a novice at this, was sad it was complete. At that moment I didn’t want it to be..oh well, I love shooting ML’s but, I really think I enjoyed the staining, sealing...

    Painting design on a stock.

    Is it possible, acrylic paint. After staining is complete can you paint a small design on the stock, my wife wants to put a turquoise flower, and will the finish go on and protect it? I was thinking of putting it on before sealer and finish. Thoughts would be appreciated. Joe

    Ramrod for a Pedersoli Indian trade musket

    Would anyone know the size and what’s the best replacement ramrod for the Pedersoli trade musket. Looked through TOTW website and it’s not mentioned. If I had a measuring thingy I would measure the diameter of the original. I hear the original will break pretty quickly. Thank you. Joe

    Shipping box

    Sorry, just not sure where to ask this question. I’m going to be putting my Pedersoli 1861 Springfield up for sale soon and was wondering where you guys get and what to use for a shipping container? I guess it would have to be acceptable by UPS and strong enough to prevent damage. Suggestions...

    Barrel finishing service.

    Are there places you can send your barrel to to have them browned? I don’t mind staining and finishing my stock, but want the barrel done properly and I’m not sure I can. Thanks, joe

    Alternative for Pedersoli Indian trade gun

    Well almost pulled the trigger on the Pedersoli trade gun and stopped and figured I’d come here first. It’s still not out of the question but I need to ask. Anyone know of any builders out there where the wait time is not a humongous amount for delivery? Also, I can throw in a few hundred...

Anyway, I conceded and we will be going much souther (if that’s a word) than SC. So, wife and I are planning a move down just north of San Antonio and was wondering, any...

    Range feed back...SC, Myrtle Beach area.

    In another thread ( figured I would start another thread on this area) I was asking if anyone knew of a place I read about that had 2 ranges and was a State Park. Found it and I now see it’s a National Forest. In my other thread I was looking for clubs in the area and found clubs, were few and...

    Shopping for black powder, and yes found some, although I haven’t ordered yet, but I notice a majority of places I look are out of stock. Are our black powder rifles, pistols and etc that only favor real black powder soon to be just wall hangers? Is any on else noticing this, I only buy in small...

    Is South Carolina Different....

    Well after 60 plus years in UPPER NY State, my wife and I are moving south to coastal SC, a place we have enjoyed for many years. To the point, being a BP shooter up here in NY we have clubs, which include a range, membership and all the rest. Looking down in SC it looks like a pay to play day...

    Storage in Southern States

    My wife and I are making the move south to SC. Up here in NY I really don't have to deal with too much humidity and since my BP rifles don't fit into my gun safe, I store them next to it in my "sports closet" as my wife calls it. My question, is storage harder down there with a much longer...

    #2 Pedersoli 1861 Springfield question

    This rifle has a 1-70 rifle twist, wouldn't it shoot round balls better? All I am reading on the "web" is the 1861 Springfield was a Minie Ball shooter..As was used in the CW and to bring it to its best, shoot Minie's Always though you wanted a faster twist on Minie's. I bring this to the pros...

    Minie Balls

    Ordered some great Minie balls from TOTW , but some were out of shape (most likely handling) and some tough to start in the barrel. Ordered .575 for a 58 cal so ramming them shouldn't be a problem. Filed a few to get them to start but, hoping this is not something I have to do all the time...
