So the only thread that I found on the TPS M6 "survival rifle" was from four years ago, I just bought one that's .357 Magnum over .410. The .410 barrel is fitted with a screw-in choke matching a standard Invector choke, and the rifle came with a choke wrench. Sights were a flip, peep and V...

Mike Beliveau aka duelist1954, who makes videos on black powder AND modern guns, has been ordered by his local township to stop shooting on his rural property aka what Mike calls on his videos "Duelist Den", because Mike has no house on the property (and because it's land in a conservation area...

Well one very minor thing that COVID is causing that is going to be a benefit to me..., With this teleworking stuff, Thursday starts Early Muzzleloader Season for deer in my state, and my boss can't deny me "leave", since I'm not going to be in the office anyway. ;) Me and the .54 Flintlock (...

In addition to allowing straight walled cartridges in areas that were once restricted to shotgun and muzzleloader only..., ..., February 1-3, 2021 deer of either sex will be open for longbow, recurve, and flintlock and sidelock muzzleloaders. However if when shooting a buck you cannot harvest a...

So, the state seems to have opened up areas once restricted to shotgun and muzzle loader for deer, to allowing "straight walled" cartridge rifles to be used in the restricted areas. I write "seems", as I believe that each of the counties has a say in the matter as well. I think the regulators...

Good morning folks, The below photo was taken April 25th. I am wondering why this buck still has antlers. Is this a young stag? I can't tell, but they may be in velvet. I think this is a whitetail, but it's in suburban Bethesda, Maryland, and something imported could've gotten out, and/or...

So it looks like I might just get a chance to shoot at steel at 200 and 300 yards tomorrow. Well, I'm taking my son out for a birthday outing, and he's all fired-up about AR type rifles, so it's to give him a chance to shoot his beyond 100 yards (the most common range distance here in...

Hey folks I hunt a nice farm, and the northern part has some overgrown fields that are returning to natural meadow. But in the 10 years that I've been out there, I've only seen a rabbit twice, and harvested one once. That was when they were mostly grass. NOW there are lots of places for...

Hey folks, I know the NEF Handi-Rifles stopped production. They were owned by Marlin, and then Remington bought Marlin and closed down the NEF plant. I'm wondering if any company bought up the factory, or if Remington has any plans to start production again, …, or if there is another...

So the son and I went for deer in the Green Ridge State Forest in Maryland. He wanted to use the riffle he built...an AR in 6.5 grendel. Now in that part of Maryland it was buck-only. Doe come in at the end of the season, which is not this weekend, it's next weekend Dec 13 and 14. I took my...

I wonder should I teach a lesson by example or not? My “foster” nephew refers to traditional muzzleloaders as Elmer Fudd guns. I hunt upland birds with a Pedersoli 20 gauge caplock SxS with upland choked barrels. Background info: The Pedersoli is the only shotgun that I’ve ever shot my limit...

So my son is a "black rifle aficionado" :confused: He built himself an AR-10, and now since dad just brought home a large doe with dad's flinter, he wants to finally, go hunting deer...but with the rifle HE built. Well I can't fault him for wanting to put his handiwork to "the test". So no...

Day three of my state's Early Muzzle Loading Season, I harvested this doe. It was 62 yards, and a through and through lung shot (I like to eat the heart) using 70 grains of GOEX 3Fg and a patched .530 roundball with a .015 patch. I fired as she was walking in the open just outside of a...

Day three of EMLS I bagged this doe at 62 yards with my flintlock. Ball went through and through. LD

I tried some 1Fg in my 20 gauge flintlock trade gun. It was Graff & Sons powder, and I used 80 grains and an ounce of shot. I used 3Fg from my horn to prime, while using rolled, paper cartridges of powder, and of shot, for the main load. Smelled odd, like used fireworks. Seemed to work OK. I...

Not boasting, just extremely lucky, in this case... So I bought a used Bess from a gun auction site. I didn't expect to win it, as I have a practice that I bid once, based on what the seller says will cost to ship the musket, and that factors into what I'm willing to pay Every now and then...

So my buddy wants to get some quail, and raise them for eggs, to be sold to gourmet restaurants. (He's a chef btw). Apparently the breed he's looking at getting lays well for 1 year. Then he wants to get a new batch, while we take out the old batch, put 'em out and hunt them. Only problem I...
