    New rifle

    Keep looking on the 'Net. I see used semi-custom rifles for 900 to 1000 dollars from time to time. Keep looking on the muzzleloading and/or blackpowder sites. They usually have a "classifieds" section where members sell and trade. You can fine "poorboy" rifles that have quality locks, barrels...

    the death of the commercial muzzleloader

    I knew a man born in 1919 who only used ML shotguns that had been in his family for 50+ years, until he went into the service. His Dad and grandpaws also only hunted with ML rifles and shotguns. This was in West Virginia on a farm that produced nearly all they needed. These folks needed to be...

    How much powder in pan?

    We do tend to think too much. :hmm:

    CLA Show

    I was going to bite the bullet and pay the yearly dues according to the new rules, but I found out it was going to cost me $100.00 just to walk in the door. I went to the CLA show for 11 years, but I just can't justify being gouged by the rule changes for the entrance fees. I will just save my...

    Antique Arms & Accoutrements

    Thanks, I'm having a minor surgical deal that week before, but if I feel OK and the stars line up, I'd like to come. I'll have to convince the "War Department" I'm OK to travel....

    Antique Arms & Accoutrements

    Can anyone bring a ML gun, etc and sell it walking around, or on the side like in regular gun shows, or do you have to have a table? I'm thinking about talking a road trip and might want to sell a couple items.

    Anyone going to the CLA show?

    They sure have a funny way of stopping the decline and building future revenue.

    Anyone going to the CLA show?

    I wish you luck, but I'm thinking that the folks in charge just don't care because I'm sure they have heard it before. They only ones they would listen to, in my opinion, are the main vendors and artists themselves. Me and my buddies are really going to miss going every year, but it seems by...

    Anyone going to the CLA show?

    I guess they want to get to the point where there are only vendors selling to other vendors. Guys like me have only a certain amount to spend on hobby materials, and if it's going to cost me $100.00 plus gas just to get in the door, I'll go someplace where I can get more for my money. I don't...

    Anyone going to the CLA show?

    This still seems counter-productive.....or maybe even self-destructive. If they want to grow the association and the industy, they need to be as customer/member friendly as possible. This would mean that if a person had a family emergency or illness and had to miss one year, he would be...

    Anyone going to the CLA show?

    Some folks posted photos of the show on another site and the aisles looked deserted compaired to the times I was there. What are they thinking?

    Anyone going to the CLA show?

    I was going to go this year after missing last year, but when I found out I would get punished for missing a year, I decided they didn't want folks like me there. I will just take the money I saved for ML purchases to Friendship. I guess it also means it's the end of the CLA shows for me and my...

    With no prime in the pan!

    Yes, it has happened to me once. I was shooting my .36 mtn rifle with a Chambers Late Ketland lock and I had to re-set my flint in the jaws. I blew out all of the prime, fixed the loose flint, and tried it to see if it would spark correctly. To my surprize, it fired just as fast an sure as it...

    austin & halleck

    A friend of mine had one and couldn't get it to go off. He contacted A&H and they sent a new frizzen and it wouldn't spark half the time either. He finally dumped it.

    Perfect in everyway

    If I found $5000.00 in my pocket, I would immediately remove those pants, because they obviously don't belong to me!!!!

    Half stock flint?

    There were half stock fowlers in Europe and sporters in England. As for America, never say never. I believe there were some in New England and I have heard of some Ohio rifles, but they may have started out as full stocks.

    Anyone Shoot Original Shotguns?

    I rescued an old 1850's Belgian made 14 bore and It shoots great. I had a hone run down the bore and shined it up a bit, I replaced both nipples with oversized 1/4x28s and had to fit 2 new L&R back action locks to it, but the effort was worth it. It feels great when you throw it up to your shoulder.

    Maxis in a 1 in 66" barrel!

    Mine tumbled and keyholed every time in my .45, so I gave up.

    opinions on the pedersoli Jaeger rifle

    Way over priced. Add a little to that and get a semi custom.
