They went under in the early 90's.It was a good magazine for the time.I realy liked the arcticles by Dan Pharis.
Thanks guys, just curious. I had a pile of em', like everybody else, but cleaned house and they went away. I did find some N.A.P.R and NMLRA primitive rendezvous posters, and some pics that I overlooked. Brought back memories.

I liked that rag and sure hated to see it go under. It always had a bunch of good stuff on Hawken rifles and western fur trade.
I don't recall the editors name, but he was sure down on T/C, about the breech plug maybe. Anyhow, didn't they do a test on a piece of water pipe without the ball seated....by ~>6", and not get it to blow? Yep, quite a read.

The Buckskin Report was published by John Baird. When he left it the magazine became the Black Powder Report published by his son Dave Baird.
The mag was in financial trouble towards the end in 1985. Dave also got tired of having to deal with some of the ml suppliers nonsense.
Both Dave and John were at the last NAPR Eastern when they let it be known that the mag was going to fold.
The thing about T/C.
At that time there were a number of burst gun suits in the courts. All sorts of things about the grade of steel being used and something about over tightening the breech plugs.
T/C tried to prove that the only way you could blow one of their ml guns up was with the use of a smokeless powder or a mixture of black and smokeless. The lab work used to "prove" that was techno BS. The Bairds' simply got tired of the hassle.
