New!!!

We've added a forum to discuss our products, black powder shooting, reenacting or whatever you want to talk about. Click here to visit it. Drop by and say hello!

The idea is to be able to answer people's questions en masse instead of one at a time. In theory, this will free up more time to play with guns.


As a welcoming gift, we invite you to give your brain a workout playing
9 Man's Morris, a board game of strategy and logic popular in the 18th century...and still challenging today!

Our muzzleloader manual is now online!!!

If you lost the manual that came with your flintlock, or never got one in the first place, have no fear! We have taken the content and made it available online in a text file so you can save it to your hard drive or print it out. You can download it here. Use your browser's "back" button to get back to this page.


How-to page

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. I guess for every picture I show, that's another thousand that I won't have to type. We've been taking pictures of some of the little musket-related tasks that might befuddle new shooters and have put together some photo-tutorials to help you out when it is time to mount your sling, install a flashguard, fit your bayonet etc. You can see it here. As ideas come in and time allows, we'll be adding more, such as how to roll a cartridge for a blank, how to load and fire, how to clean your musket etc.


Pete's Random Thoughts...

Pete spends many hours a day on the phone. It seems like more often than not our customers become friends. To let folks in on what is going on around here, he has started a blog. The plan was to add a few lines while he eats his lunch, but he seldom gets to eat lunch.

Click here to read it. It is hosted at blogger.com and there is a link at the bottom of each post so you can add your own comments. It's a good way to keep abreast of the goings-on around here.
