      Muzzleloader barrel

      Has anybody any experience with cutting down, squaring and crowning a black powder barrel? I have one that was apparently cut down but was cut on a bias (which is why I got it for cheap!). I'd like to get it squared away ( pun intended) as it is a Getz barrel and I don't want it to go to waste...

      Gunsmith help

      I recently came into possession of a Winchester 1897 12 gauge, Black Diamond tournament grade shotgun that has been used and knocked around a bit. Still looks good, though and the slide and hammer work well. Does anyone know a reliable gunsmith in Baltimore County, Harford County or close by who...

      Fort Frederick

      I posted this in the Black Powder section, then I thought . . . An 18th century Market Fair at Fort Frederick April 25-28, 2013. Admission for the public is $5. Tons of 18th century accoutrements if you reenact, and tons of high quality muzzleloaders and stuff. Its all about the F&I War and...

      Beeman and Webley

      Hi. I just came into possession of two air guns: 1. a Beeman Model R1, made in West Germany. Has a nice wooden stock with checkered grip, adjustable rear sight for elevation and windage, globe front sight in .177/4.5mm. It's a beast. It also appears to be drilled and tapped for a scope, and has...

      Gun show sales

      Hi. I am a Maryland resident who is buying space at a Pennsylvania gun club show. Can you point me in the right direction regarding gun sales at a gun club show? I want to bring several firearms (C&R stuff, flintlocks, a couple cap and ball revolvers, no Ar's or anything) and offer them for...

      Just the wonderings of an old fool, I guess . . .

      but, why don't more people who are interested in blackpowder shooting use the traditional weapons of choice, the flintlock or the percussion gun? Shooting blackpowder used to indicate an interest in the older, simpler, traditional ways of doing things, and in no way detracts from the value or...

      Winchester1897 question

      I just was given a Winchester Model 1897 Black Diamond tournament grade in good condition with a great bore. It's a 12 ga.; 30 inch barrel, full choke gun. Serial number indicates it was made in 1921. Gunsmith says there is nothing wrong with it and should be good to go. My question is what...

      Complete lower quesion

      Having decided to enter the 21st century, I am going to build my AR-15. Is it true that a complete lower cannot be shipped into Maryland, even to a dealer, or is that bunk? I know what I want but am told it can't be shipped here. I thought I could just work through one of our industry partners...

      1851 Colt

      Got the 1851 Colt Navy in .36 with a 7 1/2 inch bbl. I need a holster and was thinking about a cross draw because drawing that length from my gun hand side is a bear to do. Anybody here ever use a cross-draw? Looking to know if they are just a personal preference type of thing or if there are...

      7 day wait?

      I am intending to buy a black powder cartridge gun, a repro 1873 Colt SAA, and a repro Colt 1851 Navy, a percussion pistol ( I know you know that, I'm just saying). Will I still have to wait to pick them up or are they a cash and carry gun? I don't think my C&R will help as they are not actually...

      Beretta 92FS troubles

      Anybody with any experience having failure to extract issues with this gun? I'm not getting smokestacks but I am getting horizontal FTEs and also quite a few failure to feed issues. I'm shooting Magtech 9mm Luger ammo, 115 grains, FMC's. This gun was new in box but purchased in 1994. The first...

      Maryland Collectors Info from today

      Hi. I just got off the phone with Cpl. Cusimano at MSP Firearms Registration. I asked about my application which I sent in on August 14, 2009. He was very nice, looked my name up and said it had been done but that he had about 200 letters sitting on his desk to send out. The woman who was...

      Maryland Collector designation

      Hi. Been away for a while and am trying to catch back up but I'm wondering who to call in MSP. Sent in my Maryland Collector's application in August 2009. Heard nothing. Anybody know? Or should I just call Pikesville and start asking? Thanks.

      Craigslist Heads UP

      Just a quick "heads up." My wife is looking for work and went on Baltimore craigslist. She e-mailed her resume and faxed a couple things. She got some responses that tell you they are doing a pre-interview selection process and direct you to another website, which they say is an employment test...

      Unregulated regulations . . .

      While I wait for my C&R paperwork, I need to know something. I am a Maryland resident. If I go to Cabela's in Pennsylvania can I purchase a rifle or a shotgun and take it with me same day, or do I have to wait any amount of time? Can I purchase ammunition and take it with me same day, too...

      Hi, there

      Greetings. Joined the other day, only a couple posts so far. Looks like a nice site. I'm a member of Delta/Peach Bottom and I shoot the old stuff - flintlocks mostly, but I also like "classic" deer cartridges and African big-game rifles. I have convinced myself that I am a student of the French...
