    Brad Emig Cabin Creek Muzzleloading

    I paid him a $3,000 deposit several years ago for a semi-custom flintlock rifle and he has not fulfilled the contract. There were many excuses for not completing his work over the years, including being injured in a car accident! He promised the rifle would be finished in 2018. More recently, he...

    Tulle Fusil gun builders?

    I have been thinking of getting a finished Tulle Fusil smoothbore and would like to get in touch with some builders. I know the Mould and Gun Shop in Jackson, Ohio, saw the owner of the business at a trade fair at Fort Frederick in Big Pool, Maryland a few years ago. But anyone else out there? I...

    For Minie' balls, I have a Enfield reproduction from the 1970s import from the Enfield Co. and I sizing die for .577, if that helps.

    The Hawken Shop rifle kit

    My thought was, I have been waiting so long for this rifle that I could have learned everything needed to build a really nice gun. But I am looking for a finished rifle. There was a great exhibit of original PA long rifles at a museum near Lancaster, PA a few years ago. That inspired me to go...

    The Hawken Shop rifle kit

    Just wondered how difficult it is to put a kit together. If you have built one, please let me know how it went for you. I have had some bad experience with a gun builder, who has not come through with the gun after several years of promises. Maybe I will build my own gun.

    Hopkins and Allen Heritage

    Are there any manufacturers out there for Hopkins & Allen rifles? These are so cool! My first muzzle loading shooting was with one owned by a friend of my father. It was a 45 caliber round ball. I learned to load and shoot. Those were the days. It's a simple design, but a very good rifle.

    Mold and Gun Shop in Jackson, Ohio

    Does anyone have contact information for the Mold and Gun Shop in Jackson, Ohio? Larry Zornes ran the shop and I met him at a market fair some years ago. He had kits and finished guns, made some real nice smooth bores.

    WHY SHOOT REPRO GUNS

    From what I remember, there were still quite a few original Springfield muskets being used by guys in the North-South Skirmish Association back in the 1960s-70s. Not sure if that is the case now. I have met some collectors of early 19th century and 18th century long rifles. Those guns are...

    Back after a long time...

    I just got back on this forum. I like to shoot a 40 caliber flintlock rifle and am waiting on a semi-custom rifle, it's been years now. I also have a repro Enfield musket and a Lyman Plains rifle, percussion. What happened to the Muzzleloader Magazine forum? I used to hang out there for awhile...
