muzzleloader

This is a question about optics, but it’s also referring more to a black powder/inline application, so if it belongs elsewhere, I would appreciate help moving it there from the great bunch of moderators here. I’m setting up/getting ready to set up a 50 cal CVA accura LR-x/MR-x. I’m trying to...

I built a Kentucky long rifle from a traditions kit quite a few years back and have been shooting it for the past few months it has a 33 inch 50 caliber barrel, I'm able to put 5 shots into a medium size wooden crate about the size of a milk crate at 100 yards but they're not really in a tight...

I just got a jukar 45 flint rifle in trade for some work I was doing for my uncle. It is missing the rod and flint. Could someone give me some advice on what flint and rod to get? Also I know that u need real black powder for flintlocks but what brand works the best for y'all?

I’m after a new muzzleloader before black powder season. I’m wondering what to get. I’m a purist, so I’d love to use a flintlock, but I don’t have the time to dedicate to really put one through its paces. I’ve determined to go inline with a flintlock in the future. That said, any thoughts? I’ve...

This past year was my last in the youth division so I will need a muzzleloader next year. I recently got a cap and ball 44 enjoy it alot. I cast my own lead and make #11 caps. I would like someone with experience to recommend a good starter muzzleloader, staying under $400. There seems like so...

This can be for rifles, shotguns, pistols, muzzleloader, or any other type of firearm that you bought that end up being far more used or not used than you thought they would be when you initially bought them. I am not a shooter, I no longer shoot for fun, although I hope that will change as my...

I'm not sure if I am posting this thread on the right forum but I need some help identifying this gun. I recently got this gun from my grandfather and I have no idea what the make or model is. There are no numbers anywhere on the gun that would correspond to a serial number, the only markings I...

A month or so ago I found this video on the internet. In it some 'good ol' boys' destroy some nice rifles, ostensibly to demonstrate that smokeless powder should never be used in muzzleloaders not specifically designed for it, such as the discontinued Savage 10ML and a few custom conversions...

First i know 54 cal is not a 500 yard firearm, that being said at local range they have a group that does 50 cal or larger at 500 yards (just for fun and to do best at trying) must be purcusion cap or flint lock and iron sights. I would like to try this some mord but need some advise. So here...

Hello, all I decided to build a percussion rifle kit, recently, and picked up Lyman's Great Plains. Everything looks pretty solid, but The wood to metal fit isn't particularly flush which is kind of a concern for me. If the inletting were a little too small, it'd be a simple matter of...

Hi all, I'm assembling a Traditions Kentucky rifle from one of the kits. I've assembled a Trapper flintlock pistol before with good results (for a first try, anyway). Generally speaking I'm only moderately handy. No significant woodworking experience. With this one I can't figure...

With help from a variety of resources to include The Fusil de Tulle in New France, I made this thing. A 20 gauge Fusil de Chasse patterned after a Tulle pattern musket of the 1740s. Everything but the barrel I made. Enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A6EkZEJ0xZw
