    Arrow Moccasin Co. Hudson , Mass

    I don't have any 1st hand knowledge, just what is available to anyone on the Internet. I have not done business with Arrow and they do not owe me anything. I went there to see if there was a chance of buying old stock for cash and carry. I filed a complaint against a mortgage company in Texas...

    Ron Ehlert DVD

    That Ron Ehlert video set is a good one. Seems like $45 might be above the normal asking price for that set, shop around a bit to verify. The video uses a Chambers flint rifle kit as a teaching platform, despite that, the knowledge imparted is not specific to Jim Chambers kits and has a lot of...

    Arrow Moccasin Co. Hudson , Mass

    I finally had a reason to visit the Arrow Mocc company location in Hudson. They formerly occupied a good sized strip building when there was a retail sales operation there along with the factory. 90% of the building is now occupied by other businesses. Arrow is reduced to a single door with an...

    Pedersoli Indian Trade Musket Kit

    The Sitting Fox Early English "yengeese" Trade Gun has a nice example of the detail that is possible in a sideplate made from sheet brass. http://sittingfoxmuzzleloaders.com/f-273/

    Pedersoli Indian Trade Musket Kit

    Unfortunately, the Internet discussion on modifying the Pedersoli sideplate was victimized by the Photobucket extortion scam, so no images are available. Check out Clay Smith's Trade Guns and parts to see how he engraves his. He sells parts kits for the brass components and buttplate nails if...

    Pedersoli Indian Trade Musket Kit

    This point comes up all the time. Since this is a build, the simple solution if you go with Pedersoli and you don't like the sideplate is to either modify it or make a replacement. I cut out the "waves" in mine that were inside the serpant's looped body. I decided I liked it enough to leave it...

    One Blanket Traders

    The truth is you are not. It is just that the State game agencies do not want to get involved with the public debate and logical consequences of bringing the issue up as a proposed change in state law for the reasons I have already stated. I have heard the Massachusetts Fish and Wildlife make...

    One Blanket Traders

    Happens all the time. Responsible hunters expect to come across people in the woods for non hunting purposes who may be dressed in less than ideal colors. No excuse to take a bead on them. My own caped hunting shirt is all forest green since that is a period color that is at least not brown or...

    One Blanket Traders

    I apologize for a quick hijack of the thread, but I think we need to be careful with the idea of forcing the general non-hunting public to wear Orange by law during hunting seasons. The implication is that hunters are slobs who will shoot at an unidentified target if it is not wearing orange. I...

    It is perfect for a rifle season with some snow cover.

    Do You See Anything Suspicious About This Rifle?

    I agree that this has been fun and educational. It would have fooled me. My question at this point would be; What features of this gun look original enough to have convinced the auctioneer's assessor that it was an authentic piece? In other words, if so much of it looks wrong, what if anything...

    Arrow Moccasin Co. Hudson , Mass

    Thanks for finding that Claude. To be fair there were public comments by customers who either had a great experience in recent years or who had a less than great experience that went on for a while until Paul corrected the situation. These positive reviews seem to be less common where these...

    Birchwood casey brass black

    I sometimes do a light coat of the Brass Black on new brass. I re-apply coats until it is dark enough to have a little patina that looks right and dulls any shine. I make a point of handling the brass with my bare hands after that whenever I have the rifle out and that seems to keep the patina...

    Castoff

    Great responses from everyone. Thanks for taking the time to clear this up for me.

    Castoff

    Gunsmith Mark Silver actually brought it up and laid it out in his "Gunstocking" CD. I am inclined to go without any CO unless there is some good reason to go with it. Mark Silver did not elaborate as to what problem, if any, this is supposed to correct. It seems to me that this is very likely...

    Castoff

    I will be building a trade gun from a stock blank where the barrel and ramrod channel have already been let in. I was wondering about the importance of castoff in laying out the barrel centerline on the stock. From what I can tell some guns were built with it and some without, and if it was in...

    Arrow Moccasin Co. Hudson , Mass

    The widespread public comments from people claiming to be customers who lost money would seem to suggest that there is some truth to the charge. The claims of non-response to any kind of request *except* for someone trying to pay in advance seems equally likely to be valid. The BBB profile on...
