    Shipping Muzzle Loaders to New York

    Can anyone tell me if it's legal to ship a cap & ball revolver to a buyer in New York? At this point in our communication I'm not sure if the buyer's in New York City or in another part of the state. I'd hoping to sell an 1851 Navy repro, but certainly don't want to break any laws.

    Hopkins & Allen side x side

    I recently bought a 12 gauge muzzle loading side x side shotgun for $150.00. It's stamped Hopkins & Allen, but looks for all the world like my Navy Arms shotgun. I'm assuming it was actually manufactured by Pedersoli and marketed under the H&A name. I'd like to confirm its origin, approximate...

    CW Centennial Cannons

    I posted this on another site and wanted to see if any of our members here have, or have seen, these little cannons. I bought this one in the early 60's. The manufacturer also produced a scale model of the Parrot rifle. The tube is brass and approximately .40 caliber. Said to be capable of...

    Dragoon Loading Lever Catch

    Just got my first Dragoon revolver. Its loading lever catch is configured differently than my Remington or an 1860 Colt Army. It seems to be stuck. How do I operate a verticle catch as opposed to the others' horizontal catch? :idunno: Cleburne

    Patching?

    I've never heard of anyone patching balls for smallbore cannons, but a couple friends have mentioned they're planning to use undersized balls and patch them for a snug fit in their newly made cannons' bore (1"). We're all new to cannon use, but do shoot traditional muzzleloading rifles where...

    1" balls

    Where can I buy a supply of 1" lead balls, or a quality mould to cast my own? My best friend gave me a machined cannon tube for Christmas and I'm chompin' at the bit to try it out. It was turned and drilled from solid stock. Will also need to build a carriage. Any help appreciated. Cleburne

    Found a Seneca

    Have to share my joy, .... ran across a .36 caliber T/C Seneca at a small local gun show that appears unfired. Priced at $300.00, I got it in trade for another front stuffer and coin. Hope to bust some tree rats this season. Waiting for balls, patches, etc to come in this week from TOW. I'd...

    T/C .56 cal Smoothbore

    I'm waiting on the arrival of a T/C .56 caliber smoothbore barrel for my Renegade. Any load recommendations for shot and round ball? I'll likely use 7-1/2 or 8 shot for squirrel, but would also like to experiment with patched round balls. Thanks, Cleburne

    .58 caliber Cabela's

    I just ran across an unfired .58 cal Cabela's caplock, .... $125.00! But, never having fired that caliber, what size ball and what thickness patch should I gather up? Any recommended loads? I shoot genuine bp, so am assuming FFg in a bore this size. Any help is appreciated. Cleburne

    GPR Ball / Patch Combo?

    I recently purchased a used Lyman GPR flinter, in .54 caliber, from another forum member. I shot it a couple times this past weekend for function only, and it performed flawlessly. My very first shots with a rock lock! Love it. I used the ball and patch sizes I had on hand, just odds and ends...

    Shot Pouches

    What are the differences between the English and Irish style shot pouches? Is one superior in function over the other, or is it strictly a matter of personal preference? What are my other options? I've seen leather shot "flasks" advertised that appear to hang off the shoulder in an upside down...

    Breechplug Wrench

    Where can I find a breechplug wrench made for T/C Hawken and Renegade rifles? I bought a used Hawken a few years back and its ignition is unreliable. I previously had a Lyman Great Plains Rifle and it fired very reliably, but I sold it and later got the T/C as a replacement. I'm thinking if I...

    Need Expert Advice

    Howdy, I'm having a bit of trouble with a .50 cal TC Hawken bought used online awhile back. I have been frustrated with the frequency of misfires. The nipple is clean and clear, and a pipe cleaner indicates there aren't any obstructions blocking the fire's path to the powder charge. I'm...
