    Opinions please on Birchwood Casey Super Blue?

    Bit of a hijack, but is there a way to 'seal' cold blue finishes? I've noticed mine gradually fade after a week or two after a very solid and clean application, oiling and the works. Thanks.

    Uberti 1858 Remington Revolving Carbine

    It's also muzzleloadingforum.com. Kinda in the name. Really isn't a matter of being 'elitist' either. This forum has a focus on a specific subject and plans to keep it that way from what I can see. Rules are simple enough to read and understand, no sense in stretching it outside of the lines...

    What's the model name of the French Minié Ball rifle Musket?

    I do find the cavity illustrations on the third and fourth image a little confusing. Were they a multi-cavity sort of thing, or did it have some sort of weird offset thing going on with a thin and thick side?

    Building rifles. Lots to learn, and where to start?

    Thanks again to everyone that has contributed to this thread. Tons of great information. Curious though. And this is more to the Canadian repliers. But is it possible for me to order one of the complete kits from track of the wolf without issue from the border? Haven't been able to get a solid...

    June 2020 Postal Match – 5 Bullseye

    Are Minies acceptable? Don't got anything that shoots PRB to participate in these matches.

    When you have a beautiful muzzleloader....

    I tried so hard to baby my P53 repro when I first got it. Ended up driving a nice long scratch along the stock when I removed one of the front barrel bands. Can't say i'm too concerned about it after that point. Though, the finish on Pedersoli wood tends to be very... stark in contrast, as the...

    Pistol info (T. Richards boot gun.)

    Thanks for the replies everyone! I would love to fix this thing, but it might be a lot more work than just replacing the parts. The body of the cock is broken inside, a quarter chunk of the material within is completely missing where i'd imagine the sear would be, so the whole hammer may have to...

    Pistol info (T. Richards boot gun.)

    This is a pistol we've had in the family for a number of years. From what I've been able to gather from my own digging is that its a british naval pistol of some sort. Kind of thinking the dating is around 1760, but i'm not exactly the most well versed when it comes to this kind of stuff. The...

    TC Hawkens. Looking to get my first.

    Just about to bite on a TC Hawken in .50 cal thats equipped with a tang sight and globe. From what I understand these guns have swappable barrels? Is there any work that needs to be done to fit them in if I were to get an extra for say patched round ball? Also curious if they are available with...

    Hello from MB

    Welcome, great to see another Manitoban join the ranks.

    Manitoban Muzzleloaders?

    Yeah? Brandon or Winnipeg area? I'd be happy to meet up and sling lead sometime.

    Pedersoli Frontier, whats your take?

    Looking to add another muzzlestuffer to the safe and the Pedersoli Frontier line has caught my eye. Any of you folks have experience behind these? Mostly looking to shoot patched round ball and have something that is a little less hungry for lead compared to my .577 P53. Looking to either get...

    Building rifles. Lots to learn, and where to start?

    It'll be a little while yet before I get started, still sourcing books and doing research before I dive in nose first. How are you going about getting parts for these builds? Still trying to figure out whether its legal to buy barrels and such from across the border. Excited to see what you do...

    Is muzzleloading an addiction?

    After years of indulging in centerfire military surplus guns, i'm pretty much in the same boat. While I still love what I got, I find myself reaching to take the P53 out more often than any other gun in my safe. Might have to let some of them go to make room for a couple more muzzlestuffers in...

    I'll be ordering these books shortly. Thankyou! Eggwelder, I'm from Manitoba, bit in the middle of nowhere but its home for me!

    Building rifles. Lots to learn, and where to start?

    I've been eyeballing this section of the forum for some time now, and I've been getting more and more interested in giving this kind of thing a shot. Being in Canada might make things a bit difficult as far as sourcing parts and such goes, but I think it should be doable. I think i'm going to...

    Loading anxiety.

    Yeah, this is pretty much what I've had in mind. But as folks have said, swabbing should eliminate the possibility of this happening if I add it into my loading process. I've set up a small kit for swabbing in my muzzleloading range bag, so my next outing should more or less be good to go. I'll...

    Is muzzleloading an addiction?

    Shortly after getting my first military muzzleloader, i've already been putting funds aside to get a more traditional style gun for patched roundball. It's certainly something that draws you in with a want for more.
