    Cannon Powder Charge Methods

    I was out testing my "Napoleon" test bore on New Years. After a few firings I had some serious delays on ignition. I was loading it with aluminum foil powder charges and found that much of the aluminum foil stays in the bore plastering onto the breach. I am thinking about using something...

    1861 Springfield

    What would a decent price be for a serviceable Civil War era Springfield? I know anything that old will need inspected very closely, but even if I had to have a barrel made or lined for it I think it would be sweet to have an old one! I see them for sale all the time on auction sites and are...

    Who rifles their bores?

    Just seeing if there are any folks on here that rifle their bores or install rifled liners. Also if rifled liners are used, where can they be obtained? Thanks for any insight as I have the perfect piece of naval brass sitting here to make a scale replica in about 2" bore.

    Jager Projectiles

    I have been researching the Jager rifle and have come up with the fact that they had a fairly quick twist rate. Obviously they were not designed to shoot the simple round ball. What projectile did they shoot historically? I can not find anything that leads me to that important bit of...

    Custom Flintlocks

    Has anyone just carried on with the early American way of taking what they liked from different rifle designs and just built their own? I mean most of these reproductions and kits aren't really that historically accurate anyway. Seems also there was a variance between gun makers and even...

    Powder Valley Has Caps

    Powder Valley has CCI caps in stock. Just shy of $200 shipped for 1000. This is ridiculous! I am just about to order some or just sell all my cap guns and go to flintlocks! lol

    Bullet Mould Idea

    Here is my "Grease Ball" bullet idea. By the picture it is basically a ball with a flat base that holds grease. Base will optimally be cast to cylinder dimensional bore size with a slightly oversized ball section. I have it drawn up at a .450" base diameter and a .454" ball diameter. This is...

    Cleaning or Lack Thereof?

    I stumbled upon this guy's website and found it very interesting. It is far from new content, but I have not seen it shared much on here. I have found his grease under the projectile technique to be sound advice if you want to keep on shooting until you are sick of it without gumming up your...

    TC Renegade Shotgun Barrels?

    I just purchased a TC Renegade from a gentleman on here. I find it to be a very handy rifle to carry around. It is a flintlock 50 cal model. After messing with the lock and correcting the cock to spark better, I got to thinking. It would be very cool to be able to swap barrels out on this...

    TC Renegade Cock Geometry Adjustment

    Just got this rifle today. Doesn't appear to have ever been shot, but has the dreaded early model poor geometry lock. Even though I am completely new to flintlocks, I could tell it wasn't right as the flint was contacting the frizzen below the halfway point and was not even flipping the...

    TC Renegade Flintlock Question

    I have researched as much as I could on this and there is still some confusion. Obviously parts for these rifles have dried up but what is the actually different from the TC lock to say the L&R lock. Can the cock and frizzen from L&R be used with the TC locks? I have read that the old style...

    Colt 1860 Army at the local shop

    Looks to be new. They were really busy so I didn't get them to get it out of the case. Seems a bit steep on price but found it interesting nonetheless. She did say that it came with the original box.

    Hey from Kansas

    I have read a lot of good info on here and finally joined! I have a John Browning Mountain Rifle in 50 caliber and just started making my own black powder. Hoping to learn and contribute if I can to the forum. Thanks!
