    Back in the saddle again….

    Aint been around in a while, but i’m back. Just bought a flintlock that i need to work up a load for. Last time I was here, I got a book from an old timer who wrote it, about dialing in a ML charge. The cell phone I saved it on has long since gone to the big swimming hole in the sky and taken...

    Texas Freeze!!

    Oh I bet the congressmen are snuggled up in their 75* mansions counting the money they’ll be making once the Green New Deal is established.

    What's the best temp for casting RB's?

    I would say since I cast from a cast iron pot on a coal fire outside... about 70*F. Maybe a bit less, and slightly breezy. 😁

    So what’s the difference...

    So what’s the difference between a trade rifle and a muzzleloading rifle? I understand the difference between a rifle and a musket I think... the rifle has rifling and the musket is a smoothbore, but what’s the difference then between a smoothbore musket and a Fowler?

    Anyone winter camping?

    Recently picked up a Military Sleep System sleeping bag for just such occasions and used it on my above camping trip. Thinking now about getting a heavy wool blanket, like a Hudson Bay blanket. Nothing wrong with the sleeping bag, kept me warm all nite, but I don’t fit in it. I couldn’t have...

    My NIB CVA Mountain Rifle

    My .54CVA looks almost identical. No patch box either. The trigger guard has the brass finger rest behind it. Deer ck helped me identify it as a mountain rifle when I bought a new lock from them. I love that rifle, and slowly am ironing the kinks out of it and eliminating problems. Hope to make...

    Here's one I'd never seen before

    I did a paper in high school on the history of firearms, and read on the experimenting they did with getting the projectile to twist. Some tries were twisting bbls. I never seen one like that before. Usually they were square or oval.

    Anyone winter camping?

    Yeah! Glad I did it when it was wet. I’d of had a harder time educating the young’ uns on the finer points if the crick was froze.

    Chaga Tea

    As it just so happened, I was drinking mullein tea, teasel tea, and some turkey tail tea and tinkture when this covid thing started, and as far as I know, haven’t had it. Got tested once around this Christmas when I was “exposed”, but it was negative. I don’t wear a mask in grocery stores...

    Chaga Tea

    I got into this in highschool, kind of forgot it as life developed, and getting back into it now. Don’t think chaga grows around here, but I found some turkey tail mushroom on a stump in the back yard last year. Don’t know if it was the turkey tail, but I ain’t been sick all year. Modern...

    Amusing/Ridiculous Muzzleloading Misconceptions...

    Amusing/Ridiculous Muzzleloading Misconceptions...

    The ones around my house did. Just made better targets. That’s why I don’t wear one when hunting these days.
