    Turkey behavior

    We're about 5 weeks of where we usually are weather wise this spring.My domestic turkeys are actually done laying and already have chicks. I figure this season for wild turkeys is going to be all screwed up for wild turkeys....any opinions?

    Turkey Club......again

    Hudson Valley canoe gun

    Hudson Valley Canoe Gun Here's a REAL canoe gun. Or, a gun type that was really carried by small boat or canoe traveling from marsh to marsh shooting waterfowl......wonder why they didn't cut the barrels down to 20"? :hmm: 55 3/4 round 20 bore barrel by Ken Netting. Modified Davis jeager...

    REAL canoe guns

    This is the type of gun carried in canoes and small boats for hunting purposes on the Colonial east coast. They are both Hudson Valley fowling guns. Neither are done (unfortunately). The large one has a 72" 11 bore barrel and curly maple stock. The " canoe carbine" has a 55 3/8" barrel in 20...

    Reasonably Priced

    Will somebody please define this term for me? I have just had it thrown at me again and I'm honestly baffled by exactly how much a "reasonably priced" gun is.

    Early

    Such an annoying term.... It gets tossed around here alot, and thought we might just discuss what it actually means in reguards to colonial made rifles. Early Lancaster and Early Virginia are most commonly heard. In this case, what does it mean? Earlier than what? A time line needs established...

    M1763 Sergeants musket.

    Does anyone have any information on these besides the little blip in "WEAPONS OF THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION"? Seems to be not much info around on these.

    Starr revolvers

    I'd like to get one of these for cowboy action shooting....maybe a pair. I'll have to have single action for this game. Anybody own one of these? Do they work? Are they dependable? How do they fit the hand? Anything like a colt? How about the double actions? Can they be used as a single action...

    A pair of new Pats for me!

    Went to an auction yesterday and picked up a pair of 1836 Patersons. very cool guns, I can hardly wait to shoot them. One has been shot quite a bit and shows alot of honest wear to the finish, the other doesn't appear to have been fired. These are made by Uberti. I believe one was made in '91...

    Tremendous Wildfowling link

    WILDFOWLING Take some time and give this a read, fascinating stuff. :thumbsup: Scroll down to about page 120 or so, punt guns are discussed there. Everything before that is about decoys and dogs....still interesting though.

    Minimum load for C&B pistols

    Some of you clever fellows have probably already taken the time to figure this out. What is the minimum amount of powder you can use in a .36 C&B and have the ball seat properly on the powder with no air gap and no wad between the powder and ball? How about a .44? :hmm:

    Today's job

    Anybody feeling froggy? :wink: When I get this in I think I'll call it a day. This is a really dense piece of English walnut, so I think things should go pretty well......I hope. :hmm:

    Chambers smooth rifle

    I recieved this Chambers smooth rifle kit in a partially assembled state. I inletted a few parts and slimmed her down and finished it. These are great kits, I've built several and they go right together. This one is acually a .54 rifle, so I guess instead of a smooth rifle it's a rifle rifle...

    Early rifle

    Or my idea of one anyway. :wink: 38" Cloerain "D" .54 cal barrel. Chambers bent siler lock, Davis triggers Goehring trigger guard, kind of home made 2 1/4 X 5" buttplate. I wanted to make an early gun that other than being stocked in maple could have been stocked in contenental Europe, pre...
