    Looking for Someone to Re-Bore a Barrel

    I bought .36 flinter a few years ago off Gun Post. Its a nice enough gun, but very bulky and front heavy. I was thinking of getting it re-bored to a .50 or .54 - the barrel is wide enough to handle it. Who do you recommend that can rebore the barrel for me? Thanks - Scott

    Mystery flintlock - need some advice.

    I got this gun off the internet for a very fair price. Overall everything fits snuggly and it has little wear. The barrel is 39” long and held in place by small screws through oversized thimbles (they are ½” dia. so my guess is these are off a musket). The lock seems oversized for the gun and...

    Packaging and shipping a flintlock

    I am working with a seller to ship a Kentucky rifle and he's having trouble figuring out how to ship it. I suggested a Sonotube, but locally he can't find any long enough. What are other options for pre-existing packaging that he could use that is easy and will protect the gun during shipping?

    Shipping to Canada

    I've been buying from Track of the Wolf for some time, but noticed their shipping costs to Canada have recently tripled (it costs more for shipping than the cost of the product). Any ideas why this is?

    I've been buying from Track of the Wolf for some time, but noticed their shipping costs to Canada have recently tripled (it costs more for shipping than the cost of the product). Maybe I can find a supplier that doesn't want a pound of flesh to ship North? Any suggestions on a comparable...

    Late Season Squirrel Hunt

    Our squirrel season for grays ends on a little over a week here in Eastern Ontario. Its currently about 5 F, but its supposed to warm up tomorrow for a few days (daytime temps around freezing). I'm now waiting for the ice to thicken up to trap beavers. In the meantime, I am planning to get...

    honey as a blackening agent?

    When I extract honey I use a mesh bag to let the honey drip out of the cappings. I set this back in the extractor to let the honey flow through the first filter. As the mesh bag gets fairly heavy I use a piece of solid steel rod to hold it in place. What I noticed is that it has turned jet...

    Building a .32

    I need a little help. I'm building a .32 rifle - this is my first build. I have the stock blank and the barrel already, but I'm looking for a list of the remaining components to build a Tennesee Rifle (but I'm willing to build another style for the .32, if you have some suggestions). This...
