    Front sight advice PLEASE

    F word I really really don’t want to re brown this barrel. It is a TVM Fowler I bought second hand off the gentlemen who built it from kit after he’d shot it for 12 years and I think his skills far surpass what I could do as you can probably guess from these results of my own amateurish bumbling

    Front sight advice PLEASE

    So it seems my ex was right and whenever I try to fix something I make it worse. I partially knocked my front sight off over the weekend, it was hanging on by a thread of solder.

    Travel and hunting Bears in BC, Canada from Aussie.

    Flintlock long guns are considered antiques and not firearms under the Canada Firearms Code. Your percussion will be considered a firearm so there will be a healthy dose of forms to fill out. Blackpowder is easy to purchase, it is regulated by our Department of Mines and Forests. I don’t even...

    Just getting started

    The Gun Room in Waterloo sometimes has used muzzleloaders for sale on their website. They’re also a Pedersoli dealer. That’s where I get my Goex You could even handle a piece your interested in if you fancied a 4 hour drive.

    Muzzleloader No Longer On Newstands

    Dang that sucks I’m a subscriber now but I first learned about its existence when I came upon it as a kid in a newsstand. The picture of an Indian with flintlock looking across a wooded river instantly caught my interest. Might not have gotten into muzzleloading at all if it wasn’t for that...

    Daniel Boone TV show historical accuracy

    Ya that was Dan. It seems his wife thought him dead and accepted the comfort of his brother Squire. A daughter resulted. It seems Boone didn’t resent the wife or brother for this conduct and raised the girl as his own The book Boone by James Alexander Thom covers this event nicely.
