    Your best deal acquiring a muzzleloader, either trade or purchase

    I am loving these pictures :p Here is a 3 band Enfield by Aston, made for a volunteer regiment, all the fancy bells and whistles down to the bronze tipped ramrod. An amazing musket. Best of all, the cross pins had seized so you couldn't get the lock off and a nipple protector had been jammed on...

    Raw black English flint

    Black knapped flint for building costs £790+tax per metric ton. It is a popular building material around here and has been for hundreds of years because it's all we've got :)

    The Curse Of The Sprue

    Zeke Baker fixed the sprue problem with his improved ball mould, featured in his book, E Baker Remarks on Rifle Guns. In a wild moment of impetuosity I bought a copy. I love that history connection you get from old stuff :ghostly:

    English Blunderbuss

    Looks good to me. In the UK that piece would fetch around £2000. All the makers tended to make the same flintlock blunderbuss, so either there was a pattern book or they bought in a kit of parts. The spring bayonet and the sliding safety were probably optional extras.

    Guns of Tipu Sultan.

    But can I resist a musketoon with a 46" steel barrel? I shall wait and watch the price, see if it starts to come down. It has been on his books for some time and I have not bought a blunderbuss this year, (if I have, do not remind me).

    Guns of Tipu Sultan.

    There is one for sale claiming to be from his hoard. I am tempted :doh: **TIPU SULTAN COLLECTION CONNECTIONS**MASSIVE, Late 1700’s English Enfield Tower A* Bore Musketoon With Blunderbuss Type Cannon Barrel Captured By The Sultan’s Army For Use In War Against The British East India Company...

    Help on building a wall gun

    I have a 6 bore c1790 but I am getting too old to lift it so there it sits in the corner :dunno:

    Your help please identifying a blunderbuss?

    I'd have bought it from those pics and I collect blunderbusses. I was starting to get worried because I got duped on a repro Baker bayonet and a Westley Richards goose gun with a phony lock. Good to know I still have an eye for a 'bus, probably 🙄

    Help with Bulnderbuss ID and RUST!

    I think they are safe enough. I survived clay shooting with this 200+ year old brass 'bus and what is more, I broke a left right high crosser (as I never tire of telling people) :)

    Punt Gun

    Compare wall piece to goose gun. Same 6 bore, the goose is about 6" shorter in the barrel and horrible to shoot :confused:

    Storage unit find, 1812 with lion. Soviet?

    You don't think it looks a bit icky as a stamp rather than an engraving?

    1667 Flintlock?

    I was reading Howard Blackmores wonderful book when I saw this relic for sale and was immediately reminded of the Early Brown Besses in his Plate 11. I was young and foolish in those days so I bought the durned thing. It probably is c1720, shame it about the front end and the missing barrel o_O...

    Loyalist Arms Baker Rifle

    Baker's original rifling should come with a warning sticker on the box... :)

    Any info on this blunderbuss?

    You have to try harder and get a better picture of the name on that lock plate

    Cannon Safety Procedures FAILURE Pt. II

    I have done my best to remove myself from the gene pool, I like a good loud bang and I will shoot anything. I have held 1640's iron against my face and pulled the trigger, I have lit a 200 year old cannon with a blow torch. Perhaps the secret of my survival is that all my nitro is in cartridge...

    Spring clamp

    I shall probably use it once or twice a year, my life expectancy is 86, so that is about $2.50 per clamped spring :D

    Spring clamp

    I am relieved because you didn't say they are ten bucks from DGW ;)

    Spring clamp

    I saw this on that auction site and had to have it. Works like a charm and is marked O :)

    Unidentified pistol

    They look so plastic from behind but gorgeous from the front. Most odd :rolleyes:
