    Lewis & Clark - Corps of Discovery

    Does anyone know of a really good book regarding this subject? Years ago I read half of 'Undaunted Courage' by Stephan Ambrose and just couldn't find it "right", somehow. I realize this is probably blasphemy to some people, but the writing just seemed to me too verbose and, well, boring. I...

    K L Moors Flintlocks

    It might even be about a decade ago (whew! time flies) but i bought a .50 cal flintlock from this gentleman. It was either his first or second build, very simple carving, no patchbox, rice barrel tastefully greyed. I had an absolutely terrific telephone conversation with him about the rifle...

    Cimarron Original Finiish

    I'm toying with the idea of getting my next BP revolver from Cimarron with their "Original Finish". Has anyone here gotten one of their revolvers from them with this finish and if so, were they satisfied with it? Was it worth the extra 100 bucks, aesthetically? I'd love to see a picture of one...

    Old time jags, worms, etc

    I feel a little silly carrying shiny brass jags and other ramrod (ok, wiping stick) tools in my shooting bag to help out with loading, cleaning, etc. Lately I've seen some really beautiful old greyish ones that look like they came straight out of the 18th century that would look great in a...

    Extended Play Time

    I heard some guy put lithium grease on the cylinder pin of his Remington 1858 Navy and he swore it helped cut the fouling down to the point where the cylinder got a lot more spins and, hence, he got a lot more play time. Anybody hear of such a thing, or DO such a thing. or/and whatdya think...

    Christmas Book

    My wife and I spent Christmas with her sister and husband (and all their kids and little grandkids) down in North Carolina. For a present they got me "Northwest Passage" by Kenneth Roberts. It's a massive tome, and a brief flip of the pages looks like it's based on Rogers' Rangers. Has anybody...

    Gun Builder ID

    Moderator(s), let me start by saying that I didn't think this belonged in the gun building bench forum, so I stuck it here. Does anyone know anything about a gun builder by the name of J. Stauffer? Anyone have a gun built by this person? I'm just curious, as I have a sweet .45 Vincent...

    Rifle Wall Rack

    I honestly don't have a clue as to what forum to post this in, so I'll take a stab and do it here: Does anyone know where I could find a quality wall rack to hang a single muzzleloader or possibly 2 or 3 muzzleloaders? Your help is, as always, greatly appreciated. And moderators, please steer...

    Roughing up Barrel?

    Got my latest copy of MUZZLE BLAST in the mail and there's an article on smoothbores in which the author cites two examples where smoothbore accuracy with a roundball was improved by roughing up the bore. He did it to his barrel with a bit of scotchbrite and another fellow did it with 80 grade...
