    Handmade ramrod pipes

    I posted last week about the nose cap, and this week I made the entry pipe. Clay Smith has an awesome how to video on making ramrod pipes. It definitely played a huge part in making them myself. One thing I found myself wishing I had access to was sizes or template dimensions for 5/16 and 7/16...

    First handmade nose cap

    I am building a 36 caliber rifle for my kids. I will be posting sometime about it in more detail once it's completed. Anyhow it's my first plank build and I'm making a few of the parts myself. The thimbles, butt plate, side plate and nose cap I wanted to make with sheet brass. My first attempt I...

    What lock? Davis Colonial

    I'm picking up 3 barrels at the Carlisle show in a couple of weeks. The one barrel I ordered is a 37" Edward Marshall profile barrel in 58. I plan to build a gun to sell, with large features, a wide butt, and guard. The lock has me held up. I will not use L&R, there's nothing there that catches...

    PA Cottontails with a Flintlock

    I made a video a couple years ago of hunting rabbits with my friend Chris I met through shooting black powder. Last year I went down twice, and we did ok. Today I went down for the first rabbit hunt but after heavy rains last night and 40 mph gusts today I didn't think it would be very good...

    The Keystone State, success

    This year I saved vacation time to take off between Christmas and New Year's for late flintlock. Opening day near home in Central PA I shot a spike at 30 yards which in PA under 3" spikes is considered antlerless. Wednesday through Friday I hunted with friends in McKean County. I shot one first...

    Haversack

    I would like to see a few photos of a haversack that's simple, cloth or canvas. I am thinking of sewing one up and dying with walnut hulls while I have them available. I need a place to put all my nick nacks and random stuff for when I hunt and don't want to tote a back pack. If you have...

    Jack's Mountain Stock Company -videos

    Mark Weader has become a friend of mine in the last year, and I was able to go to his place and interview him, and he showed me how he goes about his craft. I took a 3 part video series to help show you all how he shapes guns, inlets a barrel and drills a ramrod hole. Jim K went along with me...

    Hot off the press, Smooth Rifled Fowler

    Smooth rifled fowler... I'm sure everyone will have their own opinion and I'm not sure what I'm going to call it yet, my smooth rifle, or my fowler. I didn't follow any one particular builder or school. I just built what would please my eye. Something I can shoot roundball or shot out of. A few...

    SOLD Dixie Gun Works Mountain Rifle Flintlock Locks

    I have 2 Dixie gun works locks from maybe the 70s? They are right hand, brand new. Only one has a strike or two on the frizzen since I threw a flint in that one and watched it spark. It threw good sparks. I don't know the value of them but I figured they're worth at least $100 a piece. I can...

    SOLD .45 Little Fellas Rifle Barrel

    I bought this barrel from Jason from Rice at the Carlisle 18th Century Artisan showing Feb 2023. My plan was to build my kids a gun. I got everything together but I'm just not sold on the barrel. It was my fault, I just figured it'd be something kids could handle. It is something teenagers...

    Another flintlock rabbit

    Another hunt down at my buddy Chris's in South Central PA. We jumped a total of 16 or so, but between both of us we only shot at 5 or 6. I seem to miss if I take my time getting "on them" and no, I'm not aiming , I just try to take my time and not rush the shot, but I have yet to kill a full out...

    1 for 5

    I got 5 shots at rabbits off my hounds in a short two hour hunt this morning. 2 of them were about out of range till I got the shot off but the others was just me being me, not able to connect on a running target. I have shot clays with my trade gun, and done real good on paper targets with...

    Trade Gun rabbit

    I took a walk this afternoon for squirrels and couldn't find one. So I started kicking brush piles. Seems stupid since I have 2 good rabbit dogs at home in their kennels. Anyhow, I kicked up 2. The first one ran a short spell and stopped so I blasted where I last saw it. Dead rabbit! As far as...

    58 cal, the gun that'll handle them all

    I had a thread started about this build back in the winter, but here is a video of me going over the gun and shooting it. I tried to keep it to the point and not go into to much depth about things that don't matter. Hope you enjoy it. Good luck this fall fellas!

    Walnut hulls

    I played around for the first time with walnut hulls, I watched several videos on how to do it. I was going for a lighter color, and I got dark and light spots, gives it a "grungy" look. I like it! I dyed my Townsends frock, a hunting shirt and a work shirt.
