    Flintlock flinching

    Oh no! I see I asked that question long ago. I am dreadfully sorry. I don't remember stuff in my old age. Please feel no need to respond.

    Flintlock flinching

    I reckon we've all done that, especially before we learned not to. I learned decades ago, and my method is what I thought about before each shot. My question is for anyone who wouldn't mind revealing how they mastered the 'no flinch.' My method was/is a bit different from what experienced and...

    TVM Early Virginia on its way

    Maybe let us know how she handles and shoots.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    I took another look at my Colonial lock fit. Although it functions very well, I was never completely satisfied that it was not a perfect fit. Just placing the lock into the inlet without screwing it down, it fit perfectly, but when I tightened the screws it did not. It acted as if some inner...

    Shooting the New Trade Gun

    The more I hear about the fowlers, the more interested I get. Don't patch the ball? Actually, when you think about it, why would we want a patch? No rifling. I suppose you'd just want the optimum ball size. I sound ignorant because I am. Before J. Kibler introduces his, I really need to learn...

    Thanks for that.

    Shooting the New Trade Gun

    You reckon it will be octagon to round? Don't know how on earth one might add a sight to a round smooth bore. And why would Jim not encourage RBs? Never had one before, but do you think it might not have been done "back then"? I'm thinking now I might have been a bit hasty to have it on my...

    Shooting the New Trade Gun

    This has me wondering if the Fowler J. Kibler will introduce will have a rear sight, or at least be offered as an extra. I am guessing he won't because his kits are so authentic. We may have to co cult TDM on how to fit one.

    Goodbye my friends

    My prayer lifted, sir. (I never say that unless it's true.) I too hope you will check in as often as you can.

    Hole Through the Barrel

    That makes sense. I learn something here every day. Thanks.

    Kibler side effect?

    Absolutes. That reminds me of a book I once bought on how to pass a civil service job exam. One of the tips was that if a multiple choice question includes "always" in the list, do not select that answer. Example: If your supervisor gives you direct instruction, you should . . . A - Check with...

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

    Thank you! That seems to me the easiest way to get that permanent striping.

    I meant to thank Cutnose posting this thread.

    The Tenuous Future of Living History

    I read it. It is so sad that wokeness and DEI have taken hold in this particular arena. But I guess we've all seen it: American history either changed, ignored, or outright deleted.

    Anyone Experienced with Hardening a Frizzen?

    What is sole? What is misguelet? Thanks?

    A first attempt at a Gourd Canteen

    Do they naturally grow in that shape or must the growth shape be controlled with a string or something to get that bottle shape?

    Hole Through the Barrel

    I'm not ballistics expert, so don't take this wrong. I'd really like to know how it is dangerous. How his it different from a flash hole in a flinter? Or maybe dangerous because the screws might become missles if they might fly out when the gun is fired? If the screws were short enough not to...

    Kibler side effect?

    Wow. I did not know that. Never had a Herrera but always wanted one. Do you thing Beretta ever went out of business for a while, or have they been a company this whole time?

    A rifle that needs swabbed after every shot on a woodswalk??

    A fouling shot sort of addresses my statement about consistency. Everything the same each time, every time. But I admit I don't do a fouling shot.

    A rifle that needs swabbed after every shot on a woodswalk??

    Or a lubed felt wad over powder?
