    Had to let her go 😢

    Yup. I also believe that just cause you love something doesn’t mean it’s gotta be yours forever. Enjoy it, learn from it, and pass it on to make room for other stuff.

    FOR SALE Nice Antique Half Stock Percussion Rifle

    Hammer and trigger functions fine. Tiny bit of wiggle in the drum. Stock in good shape. Pls don’t ask how the bore is, I do not have means of removing the breach plug and lighting up the inside. Not selling as a shootable weapon but I’m sure it would fire fine. No liability on my end. No...

    Looking for large lead balls for my 80 cal

    Hey y’all I have a massive 80 cal Fowler and would like to get a tight ball for it. I can only find a .760 from track of the wolf. Anywhere I can get a .775 lead round ball since it’s the same as 10 gauge?

    What are y’all grouping with fowlers ?

    So I got a 20 gauge. I am using 80 grains FF, covering with a wad, and a naked .615 ball on top. At 50 yards I am doing about 5”groups with 4 shots. I’m sure this can be improved when I get more rounds through it and become more comfortable with it

    Anyone know much about civil war sharpshooters ?

    So I’m assuming there was no uniformity to these personal target rifles ? Makes sense. That’s what I wanted to know, thx!!

    Anyone know much about civil war sharpshooters ?

    It appears there are numerous repro scopes for clone builds which is nice. What’s confusing me is I am reading about these target rifles that are insanely heavy at close to 25 pounds. Was this accurate for military means? Or were Sharps Rifles, Half stock plains rifles, and Whitworth Rifles...
