    Anyone Here in the Folk Firearms Collective?

    Was just strolling through YouTube and found these Folk Firearms Collective Montana Flintlock shoot vids. Anybody here in those videos? Looks like a blast by the way!

    I'm Lazy

    Anybody else's frizzen have a little channel in it like this? I am too lazy to climb up and pull down my other rifles to check them at the end of this rainy Thursday. The rifle in the pic is a Schimmel-esque, poor-boyish, Lacastrian .40. I didn't build any of my guns. This one is iron...

    Woodbury School

    I was just reflecting on Hershel and Frank's modern school of rifle style. The Handmade Rifle is undoubtedly one of the most elegant rifles ever made. Would it be safe to say that the Handmade Rifle is the apogee of the school? Despite being what I would consider of a Pennsylvania style, it...

    Got a New .40 Cal Ramrod

    So I have never liked the skinny little .36 or smaller ramrod that came with my .40 cal Schimmelish-poorboy-Pennsylvania. I reckon it was good enough for the original owner(s), and possibly for the builder. But it rattles around in the pipes and feels very flimsy. So I ordered(and received...

    Vent Pick Holder

    So... I have a nice .50 dandy of a deer rifle in the Bucks-ish county style. Has a vent pick holder under the cheek piece. I like it and keep a brass wire pick in it. Oddly, unlike most I've seen, I keep the butt end of the pick on the lock-ward side of the holder. I always see them stuck in...

    Gold Stripe Ticking

    Anyone here used the gold striped ticking available at Walmart as patching? My local Walmart might be the only non-Super center left in America and has no fabric section. Since I was at the Lagrange, GA Wally World last week I took the opportunity to look through their fabric section. The...

    Powder Magazine

    How do you folks store your powder? I have seen the red steel magazines in shops and so forth. I have watched Bob's video where he advocates for a wooden chest. Over the last few months I acquired enough powder to move it out of the house into the shed. Not worried about moisture or...

    Buffalo Has Some Schuetzen

    Hi all, not in need myself, but just checked Buffalo Arms and they have 2,3, and 4f Schuetzen in stock at the moment! Best of luck! No Swiss to be had though.

    Original Colt's Flask

    Howdy all. I have an 1849 Colt's Pocket, and for Christmas received what I believe is either the original, or a contemporary matching powder flask from my stepfather. The gun is a family piece acquired who knows when. Engraved and nickeled. Of course the nickel is now rotten and the barrel key...

    Allen Head Vent Liner

    So how yall liking the Allen head liners? I recently installed one on that .40 that had the gigantic flash hole. I didn't buy it for ease of removal necessarily, but reckon it can't hurt. Saw a 10 year old thread where some folks swear buy them and others just go traditional. Any likelihood...

    Powder Valley has Schuetzen and Swiss

    Powder is currently in stock in almost all grain sizes at Powder Valley. Looks like they got their fall delivery too.

    Powder Shipped

    Well, just got the email that my Buffalo Arms order shipped. Ordered on November 17th. Hopefully it makes it here to Alabama without a diversion into a ravine like all those packages they found last week! Also hoping it comes on or near the estimated delivery date!

    Interesting Article

    https://www.revolutionarywarjournal.com/washingtons-mystery-firearm/ Makes more sense than Rose's assertion that Washington's portrait contains a rifle- which while possible due to his ownership of several, doesn't seem to be what is in the portrait. Unfortunately seems to blow apart Rose's...

    This We'll Defend!

    Happy Holiday Season to everyone! My good lady wife did the tree yesterday so I decided it needed a bit of accessorization! 😁 🎄 (Note: to anyone offended by "Happy Holidays", I'm a port city boy me, with loads of Jewish, Greek, Muslim, and all other sort of folk about, going all the way back to...

    Octagon to Round

    Anyone have an octagon to round Rifled gun? I'm not looking to buy one, just wondering if anyone has an actual longrifle with a octagon to round barrel. I have a .60 smoothrifle with a 1/3 octagon to round, but anyone got a grooved rifle with one? I know Sharps and Remington and so forth did it...

    Indirect Heat

    Well, it's two days to Thanksgiving, and I'm cooking. To be more specific I'm only cooking one thing: swine flesh. Being southern, I'm far more inclined toward any meat but turkey. I like turkey. My Grandpa(great) Perry kept turkeys at his place in Rincon. But not for Thanksgiving. I...

    Misfire

    So, after I spent an hour on 10 shots in my .50 cal, I decided to take a Parthian(Parting) Shot with my .40 "Stower's Thumper" squirrel rifle. I wanted to shoot more, but evening church was an hour away and needed to wash off the stench of BP before that. So I loaded 40gr of Goex, and since my...
