      .570 Round Ball Mold

      It seems as though they have gone the way of the passenger pigeon. Does anyone have any idea if there is one out there? I can get a .562 (there are plenty of them), but want a .570. My smoothbore likes it much better than .562.

      Round Ball Molds

      I have looked virtually everywhere, and there is not a .570 round ball mold to be found anywhere. My English trade gun likes .570, and I would like to cast my own - I don't want to buy cast balls. Does anybody know of a source?

Anyone...

      Anyone Shoot a Flintlock Trade Gun?

      Years ago, I hunted and competed with a 1750's 20 gauge/.62 caliber French Fusil replica. Had a lot of success with round ball and shot. I traded it with a buddy for a custom .54 flintlock rifle, I never regretted the trade, because this rifle is a real game getter; however, I always missed the...

      Jug Choking a 24 Gauge Flintlock Trade Gun

      Is there a gunsmith anywhere close to my location (West Lafayette) who can jug choke a smoothbore barrel? Mine is cylinder bore (as all of them were in the 18th century, and this is a modern replica), and I want to tighten my shot pattern - while still being able to shoot round balls through it.
