    Help the Montpelier Gun Club

    As many know, the weather in New England has been wetter than usual during June, and July. The Montpelier Gun Club was wiped out. I heard about this in an email from the ATA. They have a GoFundMe if anyone feels like they can/want to help...

    Kibler SMR lock and flints

    So I'm new to flinlocks, and I have about 70 shots through my new SMR. The lock came with a French Amber flint installed bevel up, and it sparked well, but was striking the frizzen about 1/2 way down. I changed the orientation to bevel down and it still sparks well, hits the frizzen closer to...

    Eastern Maine Shooting Supply Coupon

    Did a search, and came up blank so I figured I'd post up. Eastern Maine has a coupon for 25% off shooting patches good through 5/17. I saved $10 on 1K pre-cut ticking patches. You can also buy bulk material. Code is Patch25. My Site

    Powder in stock

    Not sure if I missed a thread, or not, but Graf's has black in stock...both their house brand, and Schuetzen... Black Powder & Cannon Fuse - Powders & Primers - Graf & Sons Looks like rebranded Schuetzen. Apparently a boat has landed, and been unloaded. :thumb:

    Patch material

    I bought some bulk patch material, 1/2 yard, from TOW that is Eastern Maine Shooting brand. My question is, does it need to be washed before use, or is it ready to use as is. It looks exactly like the pre-cut patches from the same supplier. Thanks!

    My Kibler SMR is shipping

    Ordered on March 19. Got an email saying it was ready to ship. I'll probably build it this coming winter, but we'll see. Regardless, I'm excited.

    Mainspring vise

    In anticipation of my Kibler build, I'm accumulating the necessary tools and I figured I need a mainspring vise. Looking on TOW they list two, one being twice the price. Is it worth the extra $$ or is the less expensive, less fancy, one adequate to remove main, and frizzen springs...

    Unknown powder horn

    I bought a lot at an auction, and this little gem was included. It's a ship scene. I want to keep it to use. The rest of the lot isn't impressive. There's no attachment on the large end, and no plug on the small end. Anyone have any thoughts, or information?

    Well...I did it.

    Ordered a Kibler SMR in .45 cal, fancy Maple. I've never built a rifle before, or finished a piece of wood besides a ramrod with Watco. What could go wrong? 😁

    Permalyn or Tried and True

    I'm going to order an SMR from Kibler. Do I want to order the Permalyn sealer that Jim sells, or Tried and True? If Tried and True, which mix? TIA...

    Hopkins & Allen Pistol

    I recently picked up a H&A under hammer pistol in what I thought was 45 caliber as a shooting buddy has one in 45 and I really enjoyed shooting it because the under hammer design was intriguing. The barrel has no caliber markings. It needed a new nipple, on order, so while I'm waiting I started...

    This Muzzle loading is really FUN

    I bought a 50 cal Transitions on this site a couple of months ago. Have been having a lot of fun shooting it, and learning from experience. I decided I needed a 45 cal, and watched an online auction for a TC Hawken in 45 for the last month. It became mine today. I haven't seen it yet, looked as...

    Two Feathers...yet again

    So, after patiently, sort of, waiting for the USPS to deliver 4 days late, I'm sitting here at a computer trying to come up with new/different words to describe a knife and sheath made the 'old fashioned way', and a vendor that treats you like a friend. I have to admit that I'm having trouble...

    1842 Austrian musket

    My wife owns a family heirloom Austrian 70 cal musket that's in pretty decent shape. It looks much like this one except it has a cheek piece on the stock, and there is no ramrod because my wife broke it as a little girl using it as a sword. The barrel has most of it's bluing except for near the...

    New member from central New Hampshire and new to BP

    I go by painter because that's what I did for a large part of my work career, and that's what they called me at work, but you can cal me Nate. I got the urge to try muzzleloaders after being an RSO at our clubs 'Primitive Biathlon'. Everyone was having so much fun. I started looking for rifles...
