    Southern Rifle - South Carolina. Details/images/tips sought

    I am considering having a flintlock built. I want it to be a southern rifle in general style (so something 1790-1830). Specifically, I would like it to model many of the ideas of ones that were made in South Carolina or the immediate region. What are some of the best pictorial book selections...

    Length of Pull, Drop, Offset - Any rules of thumb as to what is best for a person?

    Range Box - Colonial Style. Ideas sought.

    I am thinking of building a box I can carry my assorted supplies in and take to the shooting range. I would like to craft something that has a Colonial era vibe about it. Does anyone have some pictures of their set up? I am guessing the key parts would be the assorted hardware pieces. Would love...

    Question about pictured vent hole.

    I have been doing some reading on the forum regarding the size of vent holes. Seems most folks talk about a range of 1/16" to 5/64". Well, pictured is the vent hole on my musket (.54 cal smoothbore, Kibler Colonial kit). You can also see a 1/16" and 5/64" drill bit next to it to give you a size...

    To patch or not to patch ball in Smoothbore

    New to Smoothbore Shooting. I have been watching videos by Mike Beliveau regarding the loading and shooting process with a smoothbore. I had watched enough of his (and others) to confirm the loading process to be the following: Powder/Tow/Ball/Tow. Yes, there are options for things other than...

    Use of Tow wadding in smoothbore. Tips sought.

    New to flinktlocks and I have a question about Tow. I would like to use it as my wadding in my smoothbore as it seems Colonial period correct but I understand that it is of course, flammable. So, what do folks use to decrease the flammable aspect of Tow, if anything? I have seen mention of...

    Priming horn or Priming flask...or?

    New to blackpowder. Have been reading up on priming horns and priming flasks. Curious as to thoughts on either or. Also, I would like to keep things period (Colonial) and from what I have seen, they may not have used either as indeed, 4F and 0B were not an option. So, do you just prime from your...

    Ring of Tools vs Pick/Brush separate. Which do you do?

    Starting out in black powder shooting with a flintlock. I see the ring of tools and I see some use the pick and brush on a chain (with the other tools in a bag I am guessing). Which set-up do you like? Seems you might use the pick/brush a bit more so having them on a chain connected to your...
