    WANTED Liegi derringer wrench

    A few months ago I acquired a Pedersoli Liegi screw-barrel pistol, but it came without the wrench used to screw the barrel on. I’m having no luck trying to order directly from Pedersoli, and haven’t found one through any of their distributors, so I thought I’d see if anyone on here has one they...

    TRADE .54 Roundball swap

    I have a .535 roundball mould and have run a mess of balls. I’m still working on a load. I’d like to try some .530 balls, too. Anybody want to swap a couple dozen of your .530s for a couple dozen of my .535s? Jay

    Why it’s called “hunting” and not “shopping.”

    Brought the trade gun out today. Hadn’t even managed to sit down before three deer came out and walked right towards me. When the lead deer was right between those two little trees, 10 yards maximum, I pulled the trigger. At the thunderous KLATCH! of the lock, they about turned themselves inside...

    Matchlock hunting?!?

    Fellers been arguing at work for years about whether or not a matchlock is suitable for hunting critters that have noses, with the majority opinion being that burning match smells too strongly to allow deer to come close enough to shoot. I got one already this season, so with the pressure off, I...

    Ol’ Reliable does it again!

    Took my 20 ga trade gun out the other day and the only deer I saw were across the fence in my neighbor’s horse pasture. Packing last night for the hunting trip I’m on as of today, I told my wife I was dithering- I’ve always wanted to take a deer with a flintlock but to date every deer I’ve...

    Pyrodex in Matchlock

    So a little while back, the question had come up on one of the boards here: “can you shoot Pyrodex in a Matchlock?” And for all that there were a lot of opinions about it, it didn’t seem like there was a lot in the way of experience-based information. I’ve been shooting black powder for over 30...

    Hawken strikes again!

    After a couple of long years with plenty of beautiful days spent in the woods and nothing but memories to show, this fellow came to me this morning a little after 9. He was moving kind of quickly across my stand from the left, and stopped in a bush about 20 yards off to look up at me. As he...

    Northeastern war club

    Today I finished a piece for an upcoming program at the American Revolution Museum at Yorktown, based on mid-18th century Iroquois clubs. Many of the originals were maple, but I didn't have any, so this is oak. All hand carved. Had a lot of fun, learn few things to do and to don't. Reasonably...
