    Lodgewood defarb musket stock stain

    I'd like to complete a refinish job on my Armi Sport 1861 Springfield. I just can't get over the plasticky, walmart veneer looking finish on this gun! From the pics I've seen on the Lodgewood site of their defarb'd guns, that dark, brown/black reddish/purplish finish really looks good to me...

    Mike Beliveau injured in fall, doing OK.

    Saw this post from his son today. Get well soon, Mike! The man has had a damn rough time lately. "This is Mike’s son Rob: Mike had a fall at his home on Thursday the 15th. He dislocated his left shoulder, broke his right arm, and broke his T6 vertebrae. He spent a week in hospital where his...

    GOEX back in stock

    Got an email from PowderValley that GOEX is in stock. I don't need any but if you do, go get it! Not cheap, but nothing is. That is all.

    FOR SALE Lefty GPR on GB

    Just sending out a note to all the lefty weirdos that there is a left hand .50 percussion GPR on Gunbroker now. Now all those of such left sided persuasion can return to your incantations, boiling your witches brew and struggling with scissors. Have a nice day! :)

    Grumpy old man inlay

    I'm not sure what this inlay is called, although it is close to the "grotesque masque" from muzzleloader builder's supply. It's not quite the same though and I want this one for possibly putting on the wrist of my Woodsrunner. This capture is from a video from the wonderful people at folk...

    Woodsrunner inbound

    I received great news from Bree at Kibler's shop: My .54 Woodsrunner is out the door today! I ordered it in October so Kibler's lead time is pretty honest. Can't go wrong with Mr. Kibler's products and business ethics. Now to finish up this nickel silver .45 golden era project. Only room...

    SOLD Pedersoli .50 Kentucky Flintlock

    Time to cull the herd. For sale is a great condition Pedersoli .50 Kentucky Flintlock. I put maybe 25 balls down the barrel. I got it from someone who won it at a raffle and never fired it. It's sighted to 25 yds. A .480 ball and .017 patch loaded nicely on 60 grains of 2Fg. It has a few...

    Taller sights for Kibler Colonial

    I got to burn some black today in my newly finished .58 rifled Kibler Colonial. It was 100% for ignition and is more accurate than I'll ever be. However, it hits several inches low with unaltered sights. I had to file down the front sight significantly to get it to hit to point of aim at 25...

    Springfield Armory pics

    I saw this while browsing Pbase. WOW! What an amazing museum! See if you spot the rock lock with a funky looking frizzen return gadget. http://www.pbase.com/mrclark/springfield_armoury_museum Brian D

    Replacement sights for Traditions Hawken

    I'd like to replace the cheesy plastic sights :youcrazy: on the Traditions Hawken I just finished. Front sights are easy to find, but the two-screw mount adjustable rear? Anyone figure out which one from Track or elsewhere (adjustable blade or buckhorn) would work? Thanks, Brian

    Traditions Hawken perc to flint?

    Santa was so kind as to leave a .50 perc. Traditions Hawken kit under the tree this year. I already have a perc. GPR and would like to convert the Traditions kit to flint. Has anyone done this? Would it be just a matter of removing the nipple drum and replacing with a touchhole insert? Any...

    Lyman great service

    Just thought I'd share this. My new GPR .54 perc. came with a twisted front sight blade. It was skewed off to the left from a poor casting or mishandling of some sort. (Was not parallel with the bore.) I emailed Lyman, they replied a day or so later, and a new (free of charge) front sight...

    Hello from New Mexico

    Howdy folks. Brian from Los Lunas here. I've been out of the hobby for almost 20 years now, and it's nice to be back! Just bought a Lyman GP rifle, .54 percussion. Never thought I'd find it hard to find actual black powder! Everyone has the fake stuff...even Walmart! I burned a couple...
