    Muzzleloading after Cataract Surgery

    I recently had cataract surgery on both eyes. So far the vision is improving as my eyes heal. The doctor tells me it may be several weeks before the vision settles in. I opted for the multifocal lenses hoping not to have to wear glasses at all except for very fine print. My question for...

    Went Hunting and Left my .54 loaded for 3 days

    Here is something I have never experienced before. I went hunting Thursday afternoon and did not shoot anything. I left my .54 cal John Bergmann loaded until Sunday afternoon. Decided to shoot out the charge since I was not going to be able to hunt again in the foreseeable future. A friend...

    WITHDRAWN Left Hand .50 cal T/C Renegade for Sale or Trade

    I have for sale a left hand .50 caliber Thompson Center Renegade that I bought for my wife. She said to sell it because she likes the .32 caliber Traditions Crockett better. I bought this rifle from a Gun Broker seller that did not disclose that the barrel had some light pitting on the outside...

    Did I do something Stupid??

    In the final assembly of the Kibler SMR. Put the lock in and put a flint in the lock and was suprised that I got no spark. I checked and double checked the position of the flint and still no spark. The only thing different is that I fire blued all the exposed parts. I put no direct fire on...

    My John Bergmann .54 Caliber Hawken

    I received my Bergmann .54 cal. Hawken about 2 weeks ago. Turned out pretty nice. It was tailored to my LOP and the balance is nice. It weighed 8.5 lbs. I have not developed a load yet due to the brutal heat we are having in Texas. I did find that the rear sight does not work for me in low...

    Kibler SMR Arrived Today

    My Kibler SMR in .36 caliber arrived in today's mail. Sheila, my rural mail carrier said that I owe her big time because the crate was so long she had to stick it out the back window of her Toyota Tacoma. This lets dust come in the cab going down the gravel roads. 😄 Unfortunately I can't...

    Percussion Caps

    Had a big let down today. Someone posted on here that "The Gunworks" in Oregon had percussion caps. I got online and ordered some #11s. I also ordered a few accessories to fill out the order due to the shipping and hazmat fee. All went well until this morning. I got a call from a real nice...

    Online Business Scams

    I know Scams have been talked about now for a while but maybe if this keeps a member from losing his hard earned money, then that is a good thing. This is a story about a friend of mine that is very well to do. He is into not only muzzleloading but also black powder rifle cartridge. In his...

    Barrel liner to reduce Caliber

    This may sound strange but I have acquired a T/C Renegade in .50 caliber. Can a barrel liner be installed to reduce the caliber to .40 or .36 caliber for squirrel hunting? I already have two other .50 calibers, one in flintlock and the other in percussion. I tried doing a search but nothing...

    Okay, guys and gals. My wife retired last February and I find her sitting around watching TV after she is through with house work. She is a country gal raised in Iowa and has enjoyed shooting in the past mostly pistols, shotguns and .22 rifles. I have built a 100 yard range on our property...

    First deer with a Lyman Great Plains Flintlock (Cen-Tex late season hunt)

    I got my first flintlock back in December and was determined to hunt with it this season. I did a lot of practicing and working with different loads. I had to file the front sight to bring the point of impact up. I got lots of good advice from members on this forum and it paid off today...

    What is Wrong in this Picture?

    I am totally new to flintlocks. I just bought this Lyman GPs rifle and have not shot it yet. The rifle is in great shape for being used except for the pan area. In the photo it shows an area where the flint has been striking and caused some pitting. Before I shoot it, I would like to know...

    Black Powder Finally Arrived

    Buffalo Arms received a large amount of black powder a few weeks ago and I jumped at the chance to buy some since Powder Inc. was totally out of stock. They may have some now. I have never ordered powder from Buffalo Arms but I have bought a lot of other items from them for several years...

    Howdy from Texas

    Hi, I have been lurking around and finally signed up on this forum. Glad I did. I am not totally new to muzzleloading but I had been without one for a while until 2 years ago when I bought a .50 caliber percussion and I put it on the back burner due to work schedule. I am now retired for the...
