    Belt Hooks On Pistols

    Belt hooks are rather handy things and of course show up frequently on sea service pistols, but how often did they show up in land use, specifically more in civilian and frontier contexts? Did sea service pistols ever migrate inland?

    Do those of y'all who roll paper cartridges ever have any issues storing them long term?

    Colt Paper Cartridge Box Dimensions

    Does anyone have the historical dimensions of the wooden insert for the .36 Navy cartridge packet, length, height, width, and depth and diameter of the cartridge holes, and the measurements of the paper wrapper? Wanna whip up a few for my own amusement.

    Rolling papers for combustible cartridges?

    I've seen it suggested to use ol' Zig Zags or other brands of roll-yer-own cigarette (or, uh, other plants) paper to make combustible cartridges for revolvers. Anyone tried this?

    PA groups?

    In the next few years I'll likely be relocating from Maryland to Pennsylvania, probably around Waynesboro. Can anyone point me to any living history or muzzleloading groups in the area?

    Historiocity and De farbing of Traditions pistols

    I understand Traditions guns can't really be called replicas of originals, they're more approximations that more then anything are just there for getting started in the hobby. But what modifications could be done to them to bring them closer to original pieces of the Fur Trade era? The Trapper...

    Help me with the scale of this cannon

    I was gifted this little guy years ago and never got around to building a carriage for it. It is fireable. Bore diameter looks like .25. This would be my first foray into smoke generating scale artillery. Any idea what the scale is and whether there might be carriage kits for it out there already?

    A Starter Rifle For A Friend

    I have a buddy of mine who is interested in getting in to the hobby and is windowshopping for a first rifle. Very much on a budget. Wants something traditional but isn't a stickler for historical accuracy. Never shot a smokepole before. He's been eyeballing an Investarms .54 percussion Hawken. I...

    Were percussion single shots carried capped?

    What it says on the tin. How were martial single shot percussion pistols carried when anticipating action? Would they be at half cock and capped in the saddle holster or tucked in a belt? Would they be carried with the hammer lowered onto the cap for retention (a bit sketchy)? Would they be...

    Buckshot in pistols?

    Something I have wondered about for years is whether there is any historical evidence at all that smoothbore pistols were ever loaded with swan shot, buck and ball etc. Given my own experience with them, with less than stellar accuracy at embarrassingly close range, one would think more then one...

    Traditions Locks

    Looking to get back into muzzleloading again and naturally, because I am poor, I am eyeing Traditions guns. However I have heard the locks on Traditions flinters can be hit or miss in quality and often require work to bring them up to snuff. Is this in fact the case?
