    TVM - Leman rifle?

    I have a 40 cal flintlock Leeman and I built a 50 cal caplock Leeman from their Kit. Both are great.

    3F in the Pan?

    Threef works fine for me. But sometimes it's just a psyche thing. If you feel the 4f is faster use it.

    Knife too big ?

    If you want to get real period like then you need to get a Wilson butcher. These were shipped by the barrels. They are not real big ranging from 6 to 12 inch blades. A real period one will cost you a couple hundred bucks. That said, use what you enjoy and have fun.

    straight razor shaving

    Flies Only: My advice is to remember this is your time and it should be fun and relaxing. So the first thing to do when you go into the bathroom is to lock the door. That way it will keep the wife, dog, kid and neighbor out. And make sure to take a nice hot shower first just to loosen...

    NO Black Powder at my Bass Pro

    Never has done any of us any good to gripe about this topic. It always the same. Just go online and order yourself up a case or a half case. Most places will even let you mix flavors. You'll sleep better with 12 cans of bp in under your bed.

    Powderhorn and bag

    I've really come to like my horn attached directly to my bag. Just seems to ride nicer when I'm out in the woods.

    charred punkwood

    Colorado I just char my punk in the fire all the time. I've found in my part of Colorado the Aspen works the best. You can also make your char cloth without a tin. Build yourself a fire and put your cloth a bit back from the flames and cover it with some dirt. It will char up nice. Be...

    Rear sight on a "type D"

    And a lot folks did apparently add them. Several years ago while at the MFT I sat their and counted all the rear sights on the guns included within the trade gun exhibit. Out of 200 trade guns close to 20% had a rear site of some kind. These ranged from gunsmith installed dove tailed sights to...

    Tripple 7 Powder in Flintlock Rifle

    I'm sure you are not in an area with a Cabelas or a Bass Pro, but both carry black powder. It is more expensive than ordering say a case but you can get one can at a time. Myself, I just can't sleep at night if I don't have at least a half a dozen cans waiting to go. If you have any buddies...

    Help with tools for Jim Chambers Class

    I attended Jim's lock building class a few years back, it was outstanding. I got most of my stuff from Brownells. One tip; You will be building a lock in the class and it will in all likely hood turn out to be the best lock you will ever have. If you have a rifle you would like to replace the...

    Mink Oil?

    I have always wondered if there was any difference with the standard mink oil and the TOW. I have used the TOW for a hunting lube with for many years and find both the barrels of my two hunting rifles love it. Bottom line, a tin of the TOW last a long long time and is pretty cheap. Why mess...

    needed thicker patches....

    Just head out to your favorite fabric store or if your closest Walmart still has fabric, with a measuring caliper. Like already mentioned denim or the canvas will work great and are in the .025 plus range. Buy half a yard, wash and dry it and give it a go. Cut the patch at the barrel. I...

    Touch Hole Size

    I do agree that 1/16" seems to work well in most cases. That said, if the gun is firing well and the accuracy is good enough for you, and things are fun, why mess with it. Many originals had very large holes. And yes, they where in all likely hood worn larger with use, they obviously were...

    fire starting

    Nice dry native grasses is the greatest tinder. Pick it when it's dry when you're walking through the woods and store some in your fire pouch. Rio

    Bumblin Bear Grease

    I've been interested in trying it however, what October Country charges for shipping it's more expensive to ship it than what it costs for a tin. Nothing new though, sometimes the shipping can be a deal breaker. Rio

    powder question

    If your Shenandouh, and I'm assuming it is a Traditions is a flintlock, please order the black powder as mentioned in the above post. This has been discussed over and over, real black powder will work by far the best for you, especially with a Traditions flintlock. Please believe me when I say...
