    Getting into the percussion game, 1858 Enfield

    Gun club shooting buddies are just BAD BAD BAD ! Again I have been bitten by the saying "Try my antique 1861 Springfield, it's a hoot to shoot !" Yes, it darn well was ! While I absolutely loved the nostalgic shooting experience of the 1861 , I really struggled with the super long sight radius...

    Thank you Brad at Cabin Creek !

    Bought a new Pedersoli Harper's Ferry .58 cal flintlock about 2 years ago and was totally dissapointed at the lock performance right out of the box. I would be lucky to get 5 out of 9 ignitions. Seems i'm not alone. Many complaints about poor lock design. I contacted Pedersoli customer support...

    50 and 100 yd accuracy

    This past weekend I spent Saturday shooting ay 50 yds. My average group size was about 3". I went back on Sunday and wanted to try 100 yds. My accuracy suffered substantially. I shoot at a 23X23 square target with a 9" paper plate with a 7" dia orange sticker as my target. I put 2 out of 11...

    Dutch's ebook

    Not sure why some of you are having issues contacting Dutch maybe incoming emails are sent directly to spam folders ? Check spam settings. I exchanged a few emails, and BAM had his ebook immediately upon payment. Just a plug, Dutch's ebook is OUTSTANDING info for idiots like me who need to learn...

    Fabbed a multi-use stand

    So one of the problems i've had when shooting at my gun club is a method to vertically secure my rifle and pistol for loading. Did some research and saw some rellly cool and functional stand pics on the net. I wanted something that could serve as a rifle and a pistol stand, be clamped rigid to a...

    Traditions Patent breech cleaning tool DYI

    So I was able to come up with a fairly simple tool to scrub the transfer hole from my barrel to the touch hole. Step 1 was to purchase a pin vice kit off Ebay ...

    2nd Range Trip , much better !

    So today 10 out of 12 went off, so i'm getting a much better method down for loading. The 2 shots that misfired, all's I did was add more pan powder and thump the side of the stock while tilting to the left and they fired. It's clear to me that getting the pan powder into the vent hole is key to...

    Taller sights for a Penn flinter ?

    So another issue I can see forthcoming is I am going to need taller sights to shoot well. The comb on my Traditions Penn is very high and it's very difficult to obtain a comfortable cheek weld. I would like to fit a set of vernier target peeps, or at the very least standard aperature type...

    First range trip, need some help

    So got a chance today to fire some shots. Good and bad outcomes. Long story short out of say 12 shots I had about 5 misfires. I'm loading .490 balls, 60 gr of 2F and 4F in the pan. I'm getting a great burn in the pan but it's not making it to the main charge. I'm a systematic type troubleshooter...

    Greetings from a first time flintlock enthusiast

    Good day folks, New flintlock shooter, and I recently purchased a Traditions Pennsylvania .50 cal flintlock but unfortunately have not had a chance to shoot it. I did not realize that no flints are supplied so I had to order them online. I spent the day adjusting the new flint to strike...
