    .50 CVA Frontier Hunter Carbine - Bored out to 28 gauge smoothbore for squirrel hunting ?

    I've had this thing lying around for a quite some time, tried selling it locally, ($250 with the CVA scope kit and offset hammer and a scope) - no interest Now I'm thinking it might make a good shotgun for the squirrel squirrel woods. I'll have it bored out to .550 (28 gauge), which should be...

    Deepest darkest blue I've ever seen

    Was down at the Chambers Rifle homestead back in April, got the grand tour with Mom Chambers (awesome lady!) There was a gun in the museum room that had some of the decorative bits and screw heads blued to a dark reflective depth like I've never seen before and can't get out of my head. I wish I...

    Just a heads up - Navy Arms Pedersoli Percussion SxS deal in Va.

    I have absolutely no connections in any way to this shop - in fact I think they have no friggen clue when it comes towards muzzleloaders. I drove all the way over there because they had a flintlock for a good price, and it turns out they don't know the difference between percussion and...

    Do you have to do an FFL transfer of a muzzleloader in Va. ??

    I'm selling a Miruku Springfield 1864 to a guy I know in VA. I'm going to transport it down to him (He lives near my son so gives me an excuse to see my sons new place) Here in the Peoples Republic of NJ we have to go through an FFL, so this gun is registered to me here. Is a bill of sale enough ?

    576 mold ??

    Single ball, aluminum (obviously not a Lyman just came in the box) Just picked it up in a lot I bought, can't find anything on it. Did a web search using every combination of terms I could think of, nothing. Expected it to be a Lee but there's record that I could find of a Lee mold in this size...

    Options for indexing a breech plug ?

    Picked up a .45 rifled pistol barrel and plug. The threads in the barrel end about 1/4" before the plug is fully seated. I'll have to have a machinist fix this up for me but which way should I go......... Cut the threads in the barrel deeper? Grind the plug back to match the threads in the...

    Knapping / sharpening hammer

    Picked up this little jewelers hammer head at the flea market for a buck last weekend. Spun up a handle on the lathe. Tried a different shape, something that will fit better in my fingers while still being very short, and offer a bit more control than a straight handle.

    TC maxiball too tight in a TC Hawken ?

    I've been pouring with this mold for nearly 30 years. The rounds fit down the barrel perfectly and shot extremely accurately out of my, that old, Traditions Hawken. I recently sold the Traditions after I picked up a new to me but never shot pre warning wall hanger TC Hawken. I figured it was...

    Pedersoli ball mold - "Nominal" size ?

    What's up with that? (Edit - removed this part, issue solved, problem was deemed to be stupidity~ Sudsy) I'm looking for a .310 mold and I see this - which I do not understand. Nominal like a 2x4 is really 1 1/2 by 3 1/2 ? If so how big are the balls this thing drops ?

    Sources for Pedersoli parts ?

    I usually use VTI for small parts orders but he's out of stock on what I need and months out on getting it M70PFC5421 (part #13) Pedersoli Thimble Screw (Frontier Rifle) 0800004889 (Part #48) Pedersoli Tenon for thimble screw (Frontier Rifle) Any idea who else in the USA might have these in...

    Longshot, but is anyone familiar with these initials on an antique knife?

    Very vintage, I'm thinking 1800's to turn of the century Found nothing that helps with the initials, other than a lot of makers marks from London from the 1700's through the 1800's, all are stamps though, this is engraved The glue, whatever it is that they used to hold it all together, had...

    Rifle cleanup on aisle 1 !

    Picked up this Kentucky style percussion from BigSkyRambler a few weeks ago (Fine gentleman, excellent person to do business with !) He said he thought it would clean up nice, he understated that, it cleaned up beautifully with some really nice birds eye grain!! A few before and afters...

    Where can you find brass slotted flathead woodscrews ?

    Because they certainly don't seem to exist anywhere around me ! Doing a complete overhaul of a Kentucky Long I picked up from BigSkyRambler. (Great guy to do business with!) Buried under decades of buildup is some beautiful wood but with some very shallow and discolored brass inlays. They were...

    Lockable Case for a long rifle ??

    Just getting (building) my first long rifle, 42" barrel, realized I don't own a case long enough to fit it. Here in the Peoples Socialist Republic of New Jersey we must have all guns locked up - at all times even in the house, not just in the truck while being transported to the range. I'm good...

    What gun most commonly would have been used in Va around 1740 +/-

    My distant grandfather, Lawrence Kelly, landed in the "New River" area (we think that refers to the James river) in 1740. I'd like to build a gun that would be at least mostly similar to what he would have carried. Looking around I've seen every caliber mentioned from .32 to .58, various...
