Just got back from the National Muzzleloading shoot at Friendship Indiana. Got 1st in thec100 yard pistol match. This is a 10 shot match. I used my 32 caplock and 15 grains Swiss Black Powder for 1000 fps at the muzzle. I shot this one handed un-supported open sights. I'm 72. The 10 ring is...

Just bought this un-fired Ruger Old Army

This target was shot in 1961 at Friendship Indiana in the timed fire 25 yd match Timed fire is 5 shots in 5 min. Rest about 10 min. Then do it again. This was shot with a 45 caliber single shot pistol. The man behind the gun, the one & only William Carver of Sandusky Ohio. Bill was a good...

If you haven't already you will forget and load your smoke pole without powder. Trying to pull a ball out is a real PIA! This might help you. Just take the nipple out and squirt some powder in and wet the threads with spit and screw the nipple back in and cap and point towards the ground...

Mine was about 1971. I was really getting heavy into pistol shooting . Really took it seriously . Married had a couple kids no money. The only pistol I could afford was a old FIE Pietta brass frame 1851 Navy This was when most every one else at our club was shooting fancy custom super accurate...

Yes it's old. Made in 1972. I bought it for 78.00 wholesale new in the box from Hodgdon. I was working in a Tool & Die shop and the boys always were working on guns and could do anything. Well we put a 45-70 rifle barrel on it because of the twist which is one in 22. That combo had the...

Thinking about some new grips for my Ruger. Did a little photo shop and put some different grips on my Ruger. Tell me which one you like.

Old friend stopped by the house today and asked me if I might be interested in something he had. He said he had to buy three guns to get the one he really wanted and this was one of them. I don't really know what I'm going to do with it. It was made in 1987, has the Krist 45 Colt cylinder...

My local club which I have been a member since 1970 44 years, had a write up in the National magazine "muzzle Blast" This is the write up

Here's a couple pictures I took of just a no. 11 CCI standard cap. I took these with my I-Pad. This shows just how much fire there is in a cap.

For you guys that live out in the western part. It's too far and I'm too old to go. But a lot of my friends go to this one. It will be all I can do to go to the one in June in Indiana. But go we will.

This is for you who either already have a Flint or thinking about one for the new year. I heard questions on how should the flint be positioned in the cock. First use leather and cut a small "V" in the back so as the flint to rest on the jaw screw. Bevel up usually works for most locks, but...

Lets try a little shooting match. This is only 3 so you could get a score of 30. I been trying for about 5 min. My score is 29. I got two 10's and a nine. Good Luck and have fun. http://deti.mil.by/templates/swf/Pistol/index.swf

So much has been said on here about caps falling off, caps having to be pushed on with a stick, caps just won't fit ect. In the 50 years I have been shooting these revolvers, I have never had a cap problem. I had learned 50 years ago that you fit your nipple to the cap. Not the other way around...

Merry Christmas To All On THR & and A Happy New Year

This is a photo taken about 26 inches from the muzzle. It is a .395 dia ball going about 1000 fps. Swiss powder was used. This was taken by my good friend Larry Plecher of Indiana. Larry takes lots of high speed pictures of Flint Locks and such.

Guaranteed to improve your accuracy of any pistol or revolver. Different ways to do it, it can even be hid inside of the trigger guard. This is on one of my Remington's. Just drill & tap the hole. Screw can be adjusted until the sear just breaks. No over travel of the trigger. No pulled shots...

With the shortage of caps, and 2014 not looking good, I wish I was younger and still working in the tool & die shop I would make these again. I could even make them to fit revolvers. All you do is put a small pistol primer in, and screw on the firing pin and shoot. I made this 50 years ago. I...
