    I am brand new to the forum and black powder in general. This probably isn't the best thread for my post but I know of no other.

    Help identifying 1863 springfield marking

    I've been trying to research and find out why someone would put these gold metal dots on an old 1863 springfield musket. So far I can't seem to find any information on it, so I thought I would try here and see if anyone knows why someone would have done that.

    Identify this tang

    This cool hooked breech percussion tang is part of a collection of parts assembled by a member here, who sold me his rifle “kit”. Because I’m going to make his gun into flintlock and not percussion, I’m looking for the flint version of this tang. If such a thing was ever made historically, or...

    In search of a foraging gun

    I'm looking for help on my next purchase. I've long been into the idea of hunting small game with a muzzleloader but I'm stuck on what I should spend my hard earned money on. Additionally, I'm unsure if a flintlock or percussion would suit me better. Smoothbore is a must, but other than that I...
