    Weeping heart

    I see this on many accoutrements including the marvelous possibles bag I got from Mr. Cutfingers. What does it mean and some of its history? I did a quick net search and really didn't come up with much. Thanks for any knowledge shared! wm

    Good Traders

    Thought I'd float this thread as a place to recognize forum members that are known to be good traders. Good comments only, please. There are other threads for outing scammers. My recent good traders: Justin .44 Prairie Dawg rick1964 BillinOregon joekido1 wm

    Weird surprises

    Organizing all the detritus that goes with this hobby and digging around trying to put stuff in some semblance of order today. On one of the shelves in the garage where I keep lead, bullets and other stuff was a small heavily-taped 4x4x4 box that I've been towing around that someone gave me...

    Thoughts on long-barreled smoothbores

    @TreeMan's good thread on short-barreled smoothbores got me thinking about barrel lengths in general and long barrels in particular. I understand short barrels and how performance relates but my main question is this: Why on earth do so many of pre-1860 firearms have barrels in excess of 40...

    Snakeyes pistol

    Got a great deal recently on an Ethan Allen-pattern .36 Snakeyes pistol. I have some .370 balls which of course won't work with patching but maybe a felt OP wad and a whack on a short starter will do? wm

    trade gun id

    Can anyone place this gun or know where it might have come from? Said to be an original but...even looks unfired from what I can see on the frizzen. wm

    Italian Firearms Group

    Just a heads up on this vendor if you want to order from them. I ordered a Pedersoli 20 gauge SxS back in January and after many inquiries during that time was told yesterday that the gun may or may not be ready for shipment in October. I finally decided to go a different direction and called to...

    CLOSED NW trade musket or?

    Since I've given up on Pedersoli getting my SxS 20 gauge to me in anything resembling a timely fashion I'm changing tack. I'm looking for a good Indian trade musket in .62 caliber ready to shoot preferably in 36" or thereabouts. Anyone? Suggestions? wm

    Access Heritage NW Trade Musket finishing

    This model: Northwest Chief's Musket used by Tecumseh Comes complete except for the touch hole. How difficult it it for someone with relatively decent equipment and abilities to install a lined touch hole? I assume all that is needed is to remove the lock then drill, tap and install the liner...

    Just an observation

    In my opinion (you know what that's worth) any hobby done "right" isn't cheap. Fishing, offroading, flying toy airplanes, collecting Mickey Mouse watches (don't ask) or shooting in general. Of all the things I like to do, muzzleloading in particular has been the best bang for the buck (pun...

    Yeah, I know. Kinda late to the dance but if anyone still has a stainless one in good shape, I'd sure be interested. No junk. Ready to buy. Shoot me a pm. wm

    What is it with curved buttstocks?

    I admittedly have never shouldered a long gun with the curved buttstocks of old but are they comfortable? They look to me like a good way to put a hole in your shoulder if not mounted just right. wm

    Swap barrel rifle/smoothie?

    I really like my Traditions Deerhunter. It's reliable, carries well and is easy to deal with both in shooting and cleaning with a hooked breech and single barrel wedge. I also want a 20 gauge smoothie and versatility is one of my main "things". My idea right or wrong is to procure another barrel...

    shotgun chokes

    I want a smoothbore and I have a Pedersoli 20 gauge SxS enroute. It's intended for general steel banging and every great now and then upland bird. I also would enjoy a light, quick, unchoked smoothbore for versatility and SxS for cool. What I'm considering (already) is shortening the barrel to...

    Comments at the range

    At the range yesterday shooting a Deerhunter and a Trapper one of the gals asked to try the Deerhunter. After the boom, flame and smoke cleared away she hollered, "My God! It's like the Fourth of July!!" 😁 What other comments have y'all heard about our chosen firearms? wm

    Choke mod on a Pedersoli 20 SxS?

    I've been accused of being a heretic before but versatility is my life watchword. The Pedersoli 20g SxS flinter I have coming has fixed chokes and I would also like to shoot ball out of it. I'm considering having the gun sent to have removable chokes installed. That way, I can have my cake and...

    And the bartender asked, why the long......barrel?

    Ok. Punchline from an old joke, sorta. Anyways... I'm a carbine kinda guy and being newish to muzzleloaders a bit ignorant on top of it. That said, what's with the crazy long rifle barrels? I mean, howinell is a settler supposed to sneak through the piney woods with a rifle sporting a barrel...
