    FOR SALE Astrolabe Casting Kit

    You never think about the people who built these things the first time around. I guess once they were found to be useful there would be a need to accurately replicate the instrument. There were some brilliant people who went before us.

    FOR SALE Musket Cases (Made in America)

    Nice to have you back. I own two cases, one for my Kentucky flinter and one for my 1862 bridesburg. I just might be in the market for a Kentucky pistol case next!

    Sounds like you could use a two gun rack!

    Daniel Boone TV show historical accuracy

    I used to LOVE watching Davie Crocket and Daniel Boon when I was a kid. It was entertaining but not really historically accurate. I thought the whole idea of living in the wilderness, wearing buck skins and living by my witts and off the land was nothing short of super hero stuff. The "rifle" or...

    HELP!!! Cases for LONG guns?

    I have unique cases for both my long guns. Gun cases by gun owners. Very well thought out!

    Help me choose a kit?

    Kiblers always attract attention at the range. To people who know kiblers the precision is a given but the finishing is where the owner of the piece can shine. Sure you could slap it together and go shooting but there are just sooo many options to make it your own. I've built 100 kiblers in my...

    Help me choose a kit?

    That "walking away" part is absolutely part of a build experience. I find when I reach the point that anything I do will not help, I stop. Sometimes it's just a few minutes to a couple hrs. Sometimes it's much longer . Then I'll be driving along or working on something else and the solution hits...

    here's the powder horn. It was my first shot at a horn. The spout is a 60 grain for my Pedersoli .45 Kentucky. I changed those nickel rivets out for antique brass.

    Thanks for saying, really!

    Making stuff

    Yeah, most of what I got I either made or was gifted to me. I'm so-so period correct. I've got a couple Damascus blades (both look gorgeous and cut like a razor) but I know they didn't exist back in 18th or 19th centuries. Not to a mountain man or colonialist anyways. I also added some things I...

    WANTED Folding Tin Candle Box

    Check this out from Garret Wade, It's a $98 but it's hard to argue with the quality. I think you can just get the lantern alone for like $68

    Talk me into it!

    The nice thing about the size is you can cut that patch box lid back to nearly whatever you like. Take your time, get the shape the way you like it before you cut the stock. Your gun, your style!

    Hello! Nova Scotia Canada here

    Welcome from Maryland! Nova Scotia is a bucket list ride for me! Maybe we'll get to say hello some summer!

    Wall mounted rifle display

    The lock has an 1847 date on it but it was clearly a flintlock originally and converted to a bolster type percussion later. The bolster is gone but you can see where it has been welded. You can also see where the pan had been originally. I know the mixing of military stuff don't make much sense...
