    Anybody ever watch this guy on YouTube? He's built a number of muzzle loading guns (smooth bores and rifled as well as multi barrel guns. Mostly flintlocks. All hand crafted. He's building a Jager now. He's doing it all. He makes the locks, casts the side plates, rifles his own steel. He does...

    WANTED Powder horn brass parts

    I'm building my first powder horn. I'd like to get a brass powder measure and valve for one end and a brass ferrel and knob to fill it for the other end. Do we have any vendors in our forum ? I know I can get the stuff on eBay, I just like to throw the business to our vendors first. Neil

    Gun stand from junk

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this but it's something I knocked together in my garage out of scrap wood. It got enough attention at the range I thought I'd post it for feedback. I'm not looking to produce them, I was just trying to make something that would work till I had the...

    WANTED Knapping kit

    Anybody got a line on a decent compact knapping kit for flintlocks? I don't think I'll be cutting new flints from giant rocks. I'm thinking more for dressing up the Flint in the lock. I've seen a couple different kits and it seems like they go from the very bare essentials to the rediculous...

    Pedersoli or Traditions flintlock for a first rock lock?

    I'm ready to pull the trigger (punn intended) on either. I'd be interested in your opinions and experience with either.

    1861 Bridesberg Resurrection

    A few years ago a neighbor of mine asked me to do a few repairs to his shed. Roof, corners, doors and paint. In the process of doing the work on the doors I could see the muzzles of two guns in the corner. Both were civil war era guns. When I asked about them my neighbor said he meant to turn...

    Mason Dixon

    Not sure if Maryland is considered "South East" although I'm quite literally a couple miles south of The Mason Dixon Line. Anyway, hello.......or "hey y'all" whichever applies. I'm trying to blend. ;) I love the area, the people are great. I'd love to find a place to shoot muzzleloaders near...
