    Alloy?

    Does anyone know of what alloy power line insulator seats are? I've got several hundred pounds of them and they don't seem pure but aren't super hard either.....

    Vent liner

    So just cause I'm thinking about it right now..... I've got a .32 cal pedersoli Kentucky I built and the vent liner protrudes into the breech. So I have to remove it to clean the gun. Is this normal? Would I be in the wrong to find a way to blue the protruding part and then file or cut it down...

    So it's Ohio's firearms season and so far all I've done is get rained on and take pictures...... 3 days and I haven't seen a single deer but they tell us numbers are way up. Maybe this evening will go better I've only got one more day then back to work Who knew you could get a cows knee from a...

    .58/24 buckshot

    Doing some math I don't believe I can stack 4 #4 buck in a layer (come out to right at .600 across) kind of at a loss to figure up what size for three in a layer and since I couldn't find any info using the search I thought I'd ask.... What is the optimal size buckshot for the .58?will...

    Finally

    This evening was the last day of our regular gun season. After hunting every day of season dawn till dusk I had seen two deer whole hunting and both were already dead. That's a week and two days of dawn till dusk without seeing a single live deer. However our DNR assures us the deer population...

    Inconsistency

    So the last week I've finally gotten around to shooting my .32 pedersoli Kentucky ... After playing with powder charges and patches (spit patches only so far) I've got something resembling groups lol now my issue is I'll have several good hits and then just a couple that are out there a bit Like...

    New gun options

    Looking at a kit of some sort and am somewhat undecided so I came here for wisdom..... Looking at maybe getting a kibler colonial kit most likely in .58 cause I feel the need for a big gun now that I have a .32..... The kibler is a little more than I really want to spend but I know it's quality...

    Sizing minie balls

    Who sizes their minie balls? Just wondering if I'm missing out on something great. I've always been under the impression they were designed to fit a fairly wide variety of bore variation that you see often in original guns. I figure as long as it loads ok and shoots good there's no point right...

    Barely

    Got one last 10 mins of light last day of primitive and barely hit him...... Not a shot to write home about but he dropped and never got up. Should be mighty tasty it's just a shame I hit the strap.....

    Pedersoli kentucky rifle

    So after much indecision on my part I ordered a pedersoli kentucky rifle kit in .32 cal. It will be my first flintlock and while I've never even held one I've read so much about them I can't foresee having much issue..... Still a few things I need to get but as it will be a while before it's...

    Minie ball fill out

    I have a lee 360gr improved minie ball mold and no matter what I do I can't get it to fill out without wrinkles or other imperfections especially inside the base...... I don't have any issue with other mold when I'm not working with pure lead but I'm running it was hot as I can (drosses...

    Shortest hunt ever

    Got up a bit late today. Hit it really early yesterday to head out to a buddies land with him. Was up at 4 to get there just at light. Of course I didn't see anything but he hammered a doe pretty early with his boring straight gun..... Well got up late this morning grab my rifle and headed out...

    Jamestown

    Has anyone watched Jamestown on PBS? My wife found it and thought I might like it and was wondering if it was any good. PBS usually tries to get their history mostly right. If you've seen it let me know what you thought and if you haven't heard of it it could be worth checking out. Thanks fellas.

    Sanding rifling

    Has anyone here ever sanded the rifling out of a gun? I've got a .50 barrel that presently doesn't have a lock to go with it and seeing as I already have a .50 in that twist I don't really have much use for a second..... However I don't have any smoothbores so I was wondering if anyone had...

    Suggestions and questions

    Looking at buying a new rifle soon and contemplating buying a small bore flintlock..... I was wondering if they were more expensive or a lot more work. I love working on and messing with guns so as long as its not a whole great lot of extra work im not worried about it. How long does a flint...

    Boring barrel

    I dont know if anyone here has experience with doing this but I have an old cva barrel lying around with no gun... I was thinking about de-breaching it and opening it up to 28 gauge and making a new hooked breech plug to fit my traditions fox river fifty so I could switch barrels and have a...

    First muzzleloader deer

    Got my first deer with fifty tonight and first deer with a muzzleloader period. Got out kind of late with less than an hour of light left so since we have snow on I figured id walk instead of sitting... So I started back the road and moved fairly slow through the usual places and started...

    Hunting prep

    How does everyone prepare their gun to spend some time loaded I know I don't want hardly any oil in the bore or it might not go bang however if I remove all rust protestant then it could well... Rust lol so just wandering what everyone else does since I have little experience with such things
