    How old are ya?

    I am 66 and started with a TC flint hawken around 14-15yrs old. Saved up my summer lawn cutting and paper rout money. Had to have my dad sign for it. Still going strong building a TRS British 1756 artillery carbine currently.

    BOD Rifle by TRS

    Pretty sure they used Colrain barrels from PA. up until now. Not sure who they are using currently. Ram rod swivel is a neat feature used on horseback. Yes some of originals are missing the swivel some still have them. The rifle in the Museum of the American revolution does retain its swivel...

    BOD Rifle by TRS

    Are you talking about a pattern 76 rifle? If so I have one I built from a TRS kit. They are very nice handling rifles. Took a bear this past fall with mine.

    Early European Flintlock Pistol

    Rich I think more german than dutch. have you dismounted the barrel or lock to check for markings?

    How many shots?

    Tipp Welcome to the love affair with flintlocks. As stated above a well tuned lock (a main spring not too strong and frizzen spring just enough to provide friction to get good sparks) flint adjusted to throw sparks into the pan and you should be able to get 40 or more shots on average with just...

    WANTED Kibler Woodsrunner .54

    What is your price range?
  10. Penske

    Simple question…..

    As most have stated cover your lock, but also constantly every few minutes change prime in pan. Wipe out pan and replace prime is the key to hunting in the rain to ensure ignition every time during hunting.

    The old .45 Flinter did it again

    Isn't it wonderful how we keep our loved ones alive with such small acts. They are right beside us nodding with approval or providing some sign that only we can understand when it happens. Great story and great hunt, cherish your friend as you continue to hunt with the flinter. Regards, Peter

    British knowledge info needed

    Use the GR and Arrow for your time period the BO mark is from the 19th century stands for board of ordnance. What weapon would you be making the horn for? Would go with a British 76 rifle or a Ferguson. Could also be used for Light infantry loading running ball.

    Paper cartridges in a rifled gun?

    Ferguson rifles shoot bare ball with no patch, British m76 rifles were used with both patched ball (linen patch) or rolled cartridges using a paper patch. Yes the linen patch was more accurate, rolled cartridge quicker to load. Rolled cartridges were used in times of front line combat. Patched...

    Smoothbore makes meat…

    Can't beat that with a stick. Great hunt! Great shot placement must have went down like a stone. Should be some nice tender venison. Great job!

    Heading to the woods with my dad's big bore Mountain Rifle tomorrow.

    Fat, I know what your going through. But sounds like your dad will be with you on this hunt as you use the rifle he built. Remember he is walking with you as if he was right beside you. If you listen closely you can probably hear him call the shot when the buck you didn't know was there steps...

    Ol’ Reliable does it again!

    Nice when it all comes together. Great when they drop in their tracks meat is much tender than when they run off. Great Job!
  19. Penske
