My local scrap yard calls me "The Lead Guy". Guy has my number in his phone and calls me when he gets a load of lead sheeting in. I swing buy and pick up a couple 100 lbs when he does

I wait until I fill a 5 gal bucket then melt it down into small ingots when I do my lead ingots. usually 2 times a year. Normally have between 15-20 lbs each melt

My understanding is Shenandoah lube is pretty much the same thing from those that have used both. I have a good supply of Lehigh that will last me a couple years. want to try Shenandoah though

I...

Stick on WW's I use for my flintlocks. You can use clip ons I guess. They are harder. No biggie for punching paper, but not going to flatten out on a deer like pure or stick on will. I personally...

Ya shoot it, Ya clean it. But hey, it's your barrel

I just do 20-1 with the "1" being pewter that I pick up cheap in my travels. Gives me a 10 bnh. Some I HiTek coat and some I conventionlly lube. Pretty simple if you can scrounge the pewter cheap...

Picked up a S&W K38 and M28-2 on Saturday

I will be there Saturday. Have been for the last few years. Planning on picking up a few things

Like the cast iron mold. I have one just like it and use it to make my pewter ingots. Most ingots come out at 6 oz

I like my .45 and have a 2nd on the bench now waiting to be done. Used a .50 and .54 for yrs and taken a lot of deer with them. Never had a .45 so built one with the intent of using it for the PA...

I decided to try hitek after comparing procedures. Glad I went with hitek. I do batches of 150 .45 slugs at a time in a small toaster oven and run a sort of assembly line so continuously pumping out...

My brother gave my son a 788 in 7-08 a number of years back, It was missing the magazine and front sight. I found the needed parts and replaced the stock, that my brother "tried" to refinish" with a...

small zip tie will work. had to do it with mine.

I bought some ticking a little while back from Joanne fabrics. Lady knew exactly what I wanted it for. Said guys were the only ones that bought real ticking. The other blue and red striped stuff...

No, it's brass. Lighting just makes it look that way. I have one build planned (waiting on barrel and some parts) that will be all German Silver except for the butt plate

.50 cal Bedford TOW kit with better grade wood...

I've done 2 kits from Track with no problems. Third is waiting on a backordered barrel and this one I did not have the lock area pre-inlet for something different and new learning. I also have...

If you are looking at the TOW barrels with 1-56 twist, those are probably Colerain barrels (which are what mine are). I've never tried conicals in them (no desire to, just my preference), but they...

My early Lanc is a .54. Nice rifle. Taken a number of deer with it and it's a bambi thumper for sure. My two builds were Bedfords in .45 and 50 cal. The .45 is a sweet handling/shooting rifle. I...

I've taken deer with all three using only PRB, though only took my 1st with my new .45 this year. Took a lot more over the years with the .50 and .54. The .54 definitely will take a deer with more...

Funny, I started flintlock hunting in the Huron NF in MI. Never had a problem with a flint. Not many 200 yd shots in the Tamarack swamps I hunted in. And since I don't ID my target through a scope,...

I love the Bedford style. Just finished building my 2nd one. More planned in the future after I get one or two other builds I want to do. A squirrel rifle is my next build plan, But not a Bedford....

Freeport is the next town up the road from my home town. I'd of scarfed it up for a personal sentimental collection

True. I had to attend a triple autopsy (3 members of family killed) to take the recovered slugs to run them straight to the crime lab. Single .22 round to each head. Still would not be my 1st choice...
