    To Blue or Not to Blue a New Lock

    I replaced the lock on a Pedersoli Frontier rifle. I'm trying to decide on whether or not to blue it. Or should I leave it as-is?

    Has Powder Inc Gone Out of Business

    As the title implies; their website doesn’t work anymore and my email bounced back. I wonder how many other powder distributors will go out of business. It looks like black powder is disappearing as fast as percussion caps.

    Trade Gun Ramrod - Spiral or Not?

    I picked up a used Pedersoli Indian Trade Musket. If it was ever shot, it wasn't very much. The front sight was filed down. Other than that, I'm really liking this gun and can't wait to shoot it. As with all Pedersoli's the factory ramrod is worthless. So I have an unfinished hickory rod...

    Question on Applying Birchwood Casey Browning Over Laurel Mountain

    I tried the Laurel Mountain Browning solution to my Pedersoli Shotgun but the results were not good at all. I thought it would be easier than the Birchwood Casey solution as it would not require heating the barrels. Can I degrease the barrels but not remove what’s on them now but apply the...

    Suggestions for Smoothbore for Teenager

    My fiend's son will be turning 15 next March. He likes shooting clay pigeons a lot with his 12 Gauge pump. We don't do anything formal, just a portable thrower and a box of birds. He likes shooting his cap & ball revolvers and has seen me shoot my rifles and shotgun. He's also shot them. I...

    Sodium Chloride in a Shotgun

    We've all heard about the farmer who loaded his shotgun with sodium chloride to prevent the pervicacious, pilfering, precocious plunders or the patch from absconding with the delectable watermelon (citrullus lanatus) but is this true or urban legend? In the modern world, misdemeanor offences...

    Flintlock Snobbery

    Every now and then we need to poke a little fun at ourselves. Some of you may have noticed someone who has a particular interest in a shooting or hunting genre that may look down on others in the sport that don't necessarily share the same interest or passion. I've seen traditional archers...

    Choose between Jaeger or Motrimer

    I need another gun like I need a hole in the head. Regardless, I'm contemplating the purchase of either the Pedersoli Jaeger target rifle or the Mortimer Flintlock target rifle. I like the hooked breech feature of the Mortimer but have heard that the Jaeger is not as muzzle heavy. Does anyone...

    Brass Black on Brass Furniture Question

    I have other blackpowder guns and haven't bothered to polish the brass furniture. I doesn't matter to me whether or not the brass is kept looking new. I just want to keep the firearm free of rust and fully functional. Sometime ago, I got a Pedersoli Frontier rifle (not the deluxe version -...

    V Target Question

    I'm really curious about the target depicted below. I've seen pictures of it a long time ago in some muzzle loading articles but don't know the history behind it and why this target was chosen to use for competition. I cannot find anything on the glorious thing we call the internet. I was...

    Gas Cutting the Arbor of the 1860 Army

    A friend of mine has a problem with the gas cutting the arbor of his 1860 Army. The attached photos show how far the problem has progressed. I have a 38 year old 2nd generation 1860 Army that has been fired a lot. Yet, I haven't experienced this problem. His 1860 Army is a Pietta. I read...

    How Often Do You Remove the Touch Hole Liner

    Only recently have I acquired flintlocks with touch hole liners. My other flintlocks just had touch holes - no liners. My two Pedersoli Charles Moore flintlock pistols have hooked breeches. So this makes them easier to clean. On the other hand, my Frontier rifle lacks the hooked breech but...

    Pedersolis Are Like Rabbits (New Frontier .45 Cal Flintlock)

    I put a couple of Pedersolis in my closet and in no time at all there was another one! And another one. And another one. The FedEx stork brought me the seventh Pedersoli. It's the Frontier flintlock rifle in .45 caliber. I got the standard walnut version. Although I was thinking that I...
