    HELP Brown Bess proper wad (Ovrpowder!)

    Experimenting with my Brown Bess shot loads. Are the cushion wad and over powder wad (pictured) supposed to be stacked on one another? I was just going to use tow for over shot wad, but could I use one of these?

    Browning a barrel

    I'm doing my first flintlock pistol buld (old Pedersoli kit from the 70's or 80's) and I finished browning the barrel last night I used the Birchwood Casey Plum Brown (the barrel fit in the oven so I was able to do it warm) and after two passes, I was happy with the color. Following the...

    Help with Richland Arms PA Flintlock Pistol Kit.

    My sons gave me a Richland arms flintlock pistol kit for Father’s Day. It looks to me like it needs very little work other than some sanding as the whole kits fits together nicely. Granted, this is my first build ever so there's probably things I have to do but don't know how. In particular...

    So I used this small cooking pot I picked up at the Salvation Army to melt down some Brewer's pitch to line the inside of my wooden cheesebox canteen. Everything was going well and melting on my propane camp stove in the garage and just as I was fixing to pour the melted pitch I noticed the...

    New Powderhorn gift (strapping?)

    Birthday gift today from my sons: 18th century Carolina-style Powderhorn to carry on my hunts. Now down the research rabbit hole for historically correct strapping. I purchased a strap some years ago from TOW but still not sure how to best attach it to the horn. The butt plug has a ring but how...

    New flintlock (Brown Bess)!

    It's not new but "new" to me. Was just able to get my first smoothbore Brown Bess. My other flintlocks are Pennsylvania/Kentucky style rifles. I'm pretty excited about it as I've wanted it for more reenactment events but hope to use it for hunting as well. It was a veteran reenactor...

    Pedersoli Flintlocks: yea or nay (HC and stuff)

    I've been looking at a few Pedersoli models to use for reenactment events as I wait out and hope for a good quality Charleville or Brown Bess. My concerns are two-fold: - some folks believe they are not historically accurate enough (have heard different reasons) for Rev War (my persona is an...

    I'm figuring folks are often updating and upgrading their kit and someone may have a used felt hat; as in the round felt blanks sold by most sutlers for the average civilian/frontiersman. The 'rona has sort of bit into my funds for historical living so I was just hoping to find something...

    Even though I do more for error interpretation, the family and I have been going deeper in the 18th century reenactment. I’ve used this little small handaxe that I don’t remember where I got. Not meant to be a reproduction but some thing I imagine the average mountain man would have because...

    WANTED WTB: old lock (flint) for demonstration/education

    As a teaching tool, I was hoping to find a gently used but functioning lock that I could use just to demonstrate and explain how a flintlock works. As long as it makes sparks, it'll get the kids excited. This is in lieu of places where I have to demo (indoors due to the pandemic) and can't...
