Hello all! My nam'es Ken; pleased to meet you. I shoot a .45 flintlock long rifle. Some years back I made a series of changes that resulted in accuracy being...
My hubby has just finished up the winter hunting season for muzzleloader hunting and bow hunting. (One large buffalo hunt is still available...Feb. ) If you...
OK- I'm finally home from the war-front. That was a rough 3 weeks on the beach. Now then, it's time for me to buy the English flints, but my question now is,...
Welcome aboard, Ken! If you could be so kind as to elaborate on how you are undoing the changes we can all benefit. Most of us are trying to get better ...
J: I am taking the liberty of assuming that you don't mean knapping a flint from scratch, but rather sharpening an existing flint that has gone dull. You could...
So there's other ham-muzzleloaders besides me? I thought I was all alone in the world. Where is 2 land? NY? I'm displaced to Omaha from Idaho, where I...
... Does it count that I had my Technician license back in the '60s? Limited to 6 meters, 2 meters and higher, but I only needed 5 wpm code speed rather than...
They're about to get rid of the morse code requirement for everything. Japan has half the hams in the world and they don't make them do the code. ANd I think...
... I broke the frizzen off when I was doing a test dry-fire. Did I ... You might check out Dixie Gun Works www.dixiegun.com They offer a good selection of...
... everything. I wonder if anyone uses code at all any more? Back then it was easier to get a code signal through than voice when conditions were poor. I...
One last post and I'll be quiet for the rest of the week! I have a Traditions Kentucky .50 cal flintlock kit (the one with the broken frizzen now) and I'm...
Justin: Region 2 is New York and New Jersey I have a General Ticket, and like CW (Morse Code) best, though I'm very slow; about 10 wpm. I mostly work 40 and 80...
Kees: Sure, I'll be glad to elaborate a bit. In short, I had picked up a crazy-quilt mishmash of folklore that mixed good advice for casual shooting (minute...
Justin: The flat piece of brass sounds like a toe plate to me. If so, it goes un the underside of the butt, touching the butt plate. Its purpose is to keep ...
I have put a fill on the fill page of the group for you to look at dp kentucky.tif Davide Pedersoli Kentucky Standard Flintlock model it will show you the pins...
For those following the saga of the broken frizzen- it has been repaired. My neighbor (the best Chevy Mechanic in Nebraska) took it to work and welded it....
Hello everyone, I've just joined your list and I wanted to say "hello". I've had an interest in Buckskinning for quite some time, but because my (then) other...

Hi All, I have a Traditions Pennsylvania flintlock rifle that needs (or will soon need) a new jaw screw preferably a little longer than the one supplied.. The...
Robert: If you have trouble finding a new one the existing screw can probably be repaired by heating it with a propane torch until cherry red, and then bending...
... The kit he is talking about has the two-piece stock (see the original post). The forearm is actually seperate from the rest of the stock, and there is a...
Walt: Nice to meet you! What do you shoot, or is that still under development? I do .45 flintlock long rifle, 1858 Remington copy revolver, and have owned a 12...
Does anyone know about a Blunderbuss kit or has anyone built one? I think I'm ready to start from scratch, and a Blunderbuss would be a good thing for me to...
... Hi Ken, Good to hear from you. I'm not shooting anything right now. I'm new to Skinnin' although I've had an interest for many years. Before I jump into...
Well I have the CVA version of that rifle and the 2 pins that are between the main stock and forearm is where that piece of brass is to go. I thought you where...
The Flintlock kit is finished. The only problem now is the ramrod won't fit in the loops without a hammer to slam it down in there- which I don't want to do,...
Justin if you look at Robert Baird photo Album in the photo section of the muzzleloaders group page you will see 3 not to good of pictures of my CVA Kentucky...
