    Need parts???

    For you fellows who are building a Matchlock, or might need parts for one, you may be interested in this.... :master: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7157776404&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1 I'm not into "matchlocks", other than watching from a distance, but the above item would...

    Older Percussion.

    Like every good gun nut, if it tweeks the imagination I just might end up with it. I just found a percussion rifle that I believe to be of English origin. However, I need to identify it so I can get some parts. If David Minshall is still around from the LRML list he may recognize...

    1851 Colt with 4.75" barrel.

    I thought there was a post here on this same subject, but I couldn't find it. :shocking: Anyway, has anyone had any experience with this rather short barrel revolver in .44? Who makes the one from Cabella's? http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/templa...&hasJS=true Has anybody chronographed any...

    Hatfield.....again

    I have looked a hole in my glasses for the old Hatfield thread, and I can't find it. There was mention, in the old thread, of a date that perhaps seperated the more desireable, from the less desireable, of these rifles. Does 1996 mean anything to anybody?? The seller of this rifle had a...

    The Barnett Trade Gun.

    The Barnett Trade Gun, depicted by the "Sitting Fox" always facing right...or "East", is an interesting story for those interested. My own interest in this rifle led to the avatar I use on the forum. I hope you enjoy the following, and I hope it you find it informative. Russ......... The...

    Since I'm a Muzzleloader..............(humor)

    Since I'm a Muzzleloader...Don't ask me what I'm thinking about. It's always something to do with Blackpowder. Since I'm a Muzzleloader...When one of our appliances stops working, I will insist on taking it apart despite the evidence it will just cost me twice as much once the Repairman gets...

    Roundball Ballistics, .54 cal.

    A few days back I did a spread sheet on the ballistic performance of the .50 cal round ball. I got several PM, and a few eMail, asking about the .54 round ball. Well, for all those who asked, and anyone else who may be interested, I ran a program on the .54 Round ball using the following...

    Patch Knives.....

    Like many of you, I have owned many different patch knives over the years. To me, it seems an endless search. I like a knife that will hold a razor edge thorugh a box of round ball, at least. I also like a "clean" cut....for whatever reason. I also don't like to "saw" on a piece of patch...

    Old Bones & Powder Horns.

    Last year I did a few Powder Horns and a lot of folks was interested in doing the same. I "think" it was either Stumpkiller or Musketman who turned me onto this "Old Bones" stuff. I don't know which one to blame.. :crackup: :crackup: Anyway, a few people asked me how they turned out...Heck, I...

    Ithaca Rifles....

    Over the past year or so I have notice that the older Ithaca has been mentioned on the forum several times. I owned one back in the 1970's, and of all the rifles I have sold, traded, and just plain give away, this is the one I wish I still had. If there was ever anything, even close, to the...

    Rootnuke...can ya hear me???

    Can ya hear me NOW? I have read all the threads I could find here on "staining". So much so that my eye glasses have a hole in 'em. Anyway, here's my delima. I have a walnut stock that I'm working on...actually a pretty nice piece of walnut...but, I want to "stain" it the reddish color you...

    Revolver for Christmas...

    A few weeks back there was a post, by myself, that asked for advise on a revolver for a Christmas present from my daughters/family to me....They ask me what I wanted for a revolver, and I asked you fellers... Well, I asked a few questions, got a few answers, and told the family I wanted a Colt...

    Revolver for Christmas

    Had a little talk with Santa this afternoon, and "she" said it looked liked I would be getting a C&B Revolver from my daughters for Christmas, so what kind did I want? Hmmm...Good question. Darn good question, it's just that I don't know. I would want a steel frame in .44, probably blue (not...

    The Fisher, or Fisher Cat.

    In another post Ken showed us some pictures of a "Fisher". Having heard quite a bit about the "Fisher", "Fisher Cat", and the "Weasel", I wasn't sure of the diffeence so I did a little research. This is what I came up with......Near the bottom of this there are some prices listed with the...

    The Caplock Rifle, by Ned Roberts.

    For those of you who may be interested, and would like to add an absolute Classic book to your collection, I found this on eBay. I did not notice a "Reserve", so this may be chance to pick up one at a reasonable price...

    Words of wisdom, sprinkled with a bit of humor.

    Don't never interfere with something that ain't botherin' you none. Timing has a lot to do with the outcome of a rain dance. There's more ways to skin a cat than stickin' his head in a boot jack and jerkin' on his tail. The easiest way to eat crow is while it's still warm. The colder it...

    There is an item on eBay for those of you who use "shot bags" and shot with your smoothie.. I have a very similar "Irish Shot Bag" that cost about $65.00 w/shipping....This looks like it may be a pretty good deal if anyone is interested...my own experience with eBay has been less than...

    Hunting "Guns & Gear"

    I would suspect many of you are like me, and never seem to have enough gadgetry when you need it most. And, if you have more than one gun and bag, you always have the wrong bag for that particular gun. It never seems to end. The old saying about beware of the man with one rifle is indeed a good...

    Ballistic Coefficient of the round ball.

    I guess this belongs under the " for what it's worth " catagory, but I personally find such things interesting. I have said before, and I will say it again, that energy figures, as computed today by using velocity squared, is practically useless in the real world of hunting with muzzleloaders...
