    WANTED Gun case

    I am looking for a fleece lined leather or canvas gun case large enough for a Brown Bess muzzle loader. 60 inches should be long enough.

    Powder horn

    Beautiful piece of work. Well done. Serious question though, is it safe to use? Am taking lessons in muzzle loading and advised to use small plastic containers that contain individual charges. I am advised that any remaining embers in the barrel might ignight powder as it goes in causing horn to...

    selecting a caliber for hunting? small game vs big game

    Why did the British army use the 0.75 calibre Brown Bess? Was this "overkkill" or were they shooting at much greater range than one would when hunting?

    A Pedersoli Brown Bess Kit

    I am so sorry to read this thread. I have been saving up for a Perdesoli Brown Bess and now find that they are junk. Does anyone make a Brown Bess well? I am in the UK where there is mountains of BS to navigate in order to import a gun. Any advice very gratefully received. Steve

    Mead?

    Madiera was discovered by accident in all senses of the tale. The island was "discovered " by a Portuguese navigator who thought he had landed on the coast of Africa. His men built camp fires which got out of hand and he returned to explain to his sovereign that he had accidentally burnt down...

    Loading shot without wads

    I must confess to using blue toilet paper with my brown boss.. 75 caliber with no 6 shot or BBs. At the range,, the whole sandpit erupted. However, when shooting at rabbits 50 yards away, the merely ran off before the shot arrived!

    Large caliber

    Does anyone use the 0.75 Brown Bess or is that the reason the colonists beat us Brits after the Boston Tea Party? I seem to recall that the larger caliber served us well against Napoleon as the lead balls were too large to fit the French Muskets and they were unable to "fire them back at us".

    Kibler SMR in cherry

    Hi, Sorry to be so ignorant but could you explain the purpose of the "lips" carved into the left hand side of the stock and the "pin" lodged underneath? Doesn't this catch on clothing when you bring it up to the shoulder? I love the colour and echo a previous comment about its clean lines and...

    That is not just a pistol, it is a work of art. What an incredible craftsman. It is beautiful.

    Swabbing between shots

    Can I just check. Over here in the UK Murphys Soap Oil is sold as a wood cleaner. Are we talking about the same thing?

    Feedback on powder charge

    Hi Guys, You are all obviously very much more expert than me so I hope you don't mind me picking your brains. What load of what quality of black powder should I use in a Perdersoli Brown Bess both with patch and ball and also with BB shot as I hope to use it as a shotgun. I would very much...

    Bedford County Rifle

    Sir(s), With all reverence I have got to say the the pictures above are of the most beautiful gun I have ever seen. What wood was used for the stock? How was it prepared to look like that? Serious case of envy from across the pond in the UK. I am afraid our gun laws have killed off such...

    Hi Gentlemen, Greetings from England. Thank you for your kind and helpful responses. It is great to be "surrounded" by so many helpful folk who give of their time and knowledge so generously. Grenadier 1758. I like your ide of using furniture polish. I understand the concept of a pin punch as I...

    Adice ref Pedersoli Brown Bess

    It has been years since I last shot a muzzle loading Brown Bess and, worse, with very little training. I had been trained to use side by side 12 g shotguns but, in those days, in Scotland, there was little formal training available. I am now entering my second childhood and am reluctant to rely...

    Homemade box for my Dragoon

    I love your craftsmanship. Could I ask if you could identify all the "bits and bobs" that get boxed with the gun. I recognise the shot, powder horn and cleaning brush but not a lot of the other stuff.
