    Short Barrel Rifles verses Long Barrel Rifles test. Details Below...

    SHORT ANSWER FOR LONG OR SHORT BARREL; Rifles with heavy longer barrels provide 'target shooters' with a longer sight radius & as others state slightly higher velocity but length & weight can be problematic to pack hunting. Performance opinions' below are not mine, they are based on Master...

    Disaster

    Simple Muzzle Ding Fix; I've used a Steel Jewelers Ring Mandrel to fix minor muzzle dings like your's. Go slow driving the mandrel into the muzzle & use a small soft-faced hammer to tap around the dent until the muzzle is perfectly concentric. Below is an Amazon link If you don't have access to...

    Flintolock pistol rises, never hit the target :-(

    The videos do a good job diagnosing a shooters accuracy issues. Before retiring from gunsmithing & building muzzleloaders I tuned a number of big bore repro copies of French, German & English flintlocks & most had horrendous trigger pulls. The extra stiff trigger pressure allows the sear not to...

    FOR SALE Original 16 ga English Perc.Fowler, appears unfired !

    She's a beauty !! In my 60 years of collecting & shooting original muzzleloading firearms don't recall ever coming across an uncased field grade shotgun in this high level of condition. These type of shotguns were very popular on the frontier & most saw very hard use. Specs; -Lock signed L...

    Maybe better patch lube option?

    I'm pushing 82, the 3-part patch lube I've used was given to me by an old-time competitor at Friendship when I was in my 20s. For many years I was a custom builder & owner of a BP muzzleloading storefronts & collector/competitor with original muzzleloaders & I still preferred this patch lube...

    Maybe better patch lube option?

    Apologies for your sunglasses :( I've always worn prescription glass tinted lenses while shooting & have never had an issue.

    Maybe better patch lube option?

    Over the past 60+ years I've used Dawn & warm water to thoroughly clean my BP guns before storing away, never tried this as a patch lube. My fav patch lube & between match bore cleaner for all those years has been an equal mix of Murphy's oil soap, hydrogen peroxide & rubbing alcohol. We should...

    WITHDRAWN Rifled .69 Flintlock Trade Gun

    Speaking as a retired builder, tapered smooth bore barrels like this usually just require a decorative V notch filed on the breech that serves as a rear sight. This rifle already has a tall from sight installed, shooter will just need to go to the range with a needle-file to establish the notch...

    Requesting Maker info. on French .58 cal. Double Barrel percussion pistol.

    My library on European gunmakers has not been discovered since downsizing 3 years ago. I would appreciate input from any forum member who may have info on this maker. Most double barreled pistols I've run across over the past 60 years have been smoothbores. This pistol likely served as a...
