    50 PRB speed over a chrono

    I had the chrono set up at the range to check some evil black rifle rounds, so I thought, what the heck. I use Hornady 0.495 pure lead balls with an average weight of 182.5 grains. 0.018 pillow ticking patch and Track's mink oil patch lube. Powder was Schuetzen FFFg. I also swabbed and dried...

    Visitors this morning

    America's first assault rifle

    Just for laughs. I described the Pennsylvania longrifle to my wife as America's first assault rifle. An exhausted brain and too much time on my hands tonight produced the following image.

    First build complete

    I recently completed my first flintlock kit. It was quite a learning experience with a lot of trial, error, error and more error. Today I took her to the range for the first time and I am very pleased. It’s a Track of the Wolf Lancaster style .50 cal. It has a large Siler lock from Jim Chambers...
