    Blunderbuss PRB

    What was the distance? I shot a ball, maybe 2 through a blunderbuss when I finished the kit, but I don't remember the results - I wasn't trying for accuracy since there was no way to sight over the bell. Now I want to try again...

    Like I Need More Projects......

    How 'bout for Militiamen? :) When I was in 7th grade, all us boys took shop: one quarter each of drawing, electrical, woodworking, and metal. In metal shop, I made a casting of a stylized mask, kinda safari/Maori shield shape that was a face (one of the choices & far more interesting than...

    Missouri Chert Flint verses English Flint. Which is more reliable ?

    Thanks! Another great video, chert and to the point! I'm compelled to mention BPMS's extraordinary attention to detail in all, but especially this, video. He painstakingly color-matched his fingernails to the English and MO flints just so there'd be no confusion. Folks, this here is a Very...

    How I Stripe my Ram Rods. A how-to video.

    Not if they are made of India ink & oakum packed in cypress tubes. If you are cautious by nature, refer to them as Wonder Markers; "Magic" can lead to a dunking and perhaps worse! Great video @ColonialRifleSmith! Very quick & effective method.
