I have lived in PA my entire life. Flintlock Muzzleloaders are big in PA because we still hunt with them. We have a flintlock only season for deer. The season starts the day after Christmas and lasts for about a month. Personally l don't hunt with modern rifles and only go flintlock hunting. Love that smoke.
Some of the best times I've ever had..Only one shot, but she's one hell of a shot, 180 grains, me hat flies off, but me shoulder stays on..right though one inch of steel at 100 yards. One only needs one shot. 70 cal. 380 grain bullet. Yeeeeeee!! I ,say yeeeeeeeee!!!!!
Been waiting for your video of the show. Outstanding! I was thrilled to see my display shown. It was great to meet you. My first time as an exhibitor but not the last. I will also be at the Ohio Gun Collectors Muzzleloader Invitational on November 19 & 20 at The Roberts Center near Wilmington, Ohio. Unfortunately to attend you either have to be a member or invited guest.
Great job, Ethan! It was nice to meet you and talk at the bbq and the show. I take a lot of photos at CLA, but amazing how well a short video can really capture the up-close details and share with the viewer what it's like to be there. Thanks for what you do. -- Jerry
It sure is Randie, but I've been to north Idaho a couple times and tell everyone east of the Mississippi that they need to see it at least once in their lives. I'd encourage you to make a trek back to old Kentucky sometime for this show..😉
just came back from a USN knife makers show, Hope I can make This show next time! Love the Functional Art! I can only imagine the collective Knowledge under one roof! Keep Your Smoke Poles SMOKING!!
Wonderful video! I was there and I still saw things in the video I didn't remember seeing! Glad you won the book, once I saw you were high bidder I wasn't about to bid against you!
A great video again, thank you for the tour! I have to look up apple cart online, want to get one of those wool hats, gets chilly here in ME. while in the woods! Lol shaving soap!! Uh huh, best wishes to you n yours!
My wife says you're a bad influence 😂 and I need to stop watching your videos! It started with a horn, then your hawken bag pattern, now you have me wanting to build a rifle and go all the way from Pittsburgh to Knoxville. Seriously though, i really like your channel. I wasn't able to be there but at least i can live vicariously through your videos.
Gosh the stock carving ability is just amazing on some of those rifles. I think I’ll ask for a wood carving kit for Veterans Day and then practice on my Thompson hawken. Great video as always man!
Thanks for the great video, I haven’t been able to make it there the last few years and really appreciate that you slow down enough to see the details! Love the shirt design, will be getting one ASAP!!
Great Video! Your video has convinced me that I need to attend. The only problem is that I'm another 5hoiurs west of you. I guess I'll have to figure something out.
Ian, I just got my 2 times grandfathers old muzzleloader and I am looking for any information about my rifle. It's a Henry barrel about 36 inches long, short stock with what I think are proof marking on the barrel. I am told it was carried in the Civil War. I would really like to shoot it and then someday pass it on to the next generation. I have been looking online but can't seem to find any pictures of what I am looking for. Rick
The short rifle you have there would be called a blanket gun. A concealed carry weapon, hidden under something while sleeping or on horse back. Not to look like a pistol a little mare scary. A personal defensive weapon, more for the frontier woman to keep close, who might not like a pistol, but quick to use. These would be cut down as the rifle or shot gun was damaged in some way, the end stock broken, barrel bent, who knows. Some like the piece you have there, looks to have be purpose built. Usually the rear of the stock would also be cut down/off but not always. The Cushman back action lock looks to be original, English made from the 1840's trade era. That is a deal at twice the price.
Did you see any rifles made by a man named Lonnie Macmillan.he was showing me a southern long rifle he had made from a piece of black walnut .it was a .45 cal. Percussion rifle .it was as pretty as a speckled pup.he was a old hunting buddy of my stepdad.and he was heading back home ,and dropped by to visit a spell,I had just stopped by to visit as well .I had been turkey hunting over in Walkers big mountain,so I stopped by to tell my stepdad of some bear sign I had found ,he dearly loved hunting bears with his hounds .Mr.Macmillian was eating because if you stop by my mother's house,you will eat afore you can leave.and mom will pack you a bait of grub. To go with you as well.. 😂
please when filming stay in focus. you pan over things that people would like to see so fast and out of focus or the item are not in frame. or you got so close to see a detail that you lost how that detail contrasted with the object.

Good luck this fall

It was great seeing you there and thanks for stopping by our table!!
I caught a glimpse of Ian's Dutch Delft painted gun at 10:11. That one is my favorite of all the painted guns.

Very enjoyable video! The CLA is a long way from north Idaho.

That short muzzle loader is so cool, $75 is as steal, id love to build my own some day

Appreciate that Russ! Hope you had a nice time! It was great to meet you
I like your short rifle. What a steal! Cap and ball has a nice video on very short rifles used for hunting in Europe from horseback.
I am in PA. Love my Frunt stuffers. A lot of nice work there.
PA is a great state for muzzleloading.
A great video again, thank you for the tour! I have to look up apple cart online, want to get one of those wool hats, gets chilly here in ME. while in the woods! Lol shaving soap!! Uh huh, best wishes to you n yours!
You’ll love a hat from apple cart!! I love mine!

Happy to hear it Donald, I love that you've made your own accoutrements! Keep it up!
Gosh the stock carving ability is just amazing on some of those rifles. I think I’ll ask for a wood carving kit for Veterans Day and then practice on my Thompson hawken.
Great video as always man!
Also that $75 gun is awesome!! I vote that you give it a cleaning and then hit the range 😉
Thanks for the great video, I haven’t been able to make it there the last few years and really appreciate that you slow down enough to see the details! Love the shirt design, will be getting one ASAP!!

A tranquil video. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great Video! Your video has convinced me that I need to attend. The only problem is that I'm another 5hoiurs west of you. I guess I'll have to figure something out.
Time for a road trip!
Wow. Really beautiful items.
Certainly!
Great job very much the best. What guns were used on Missouri/Illinois border in early 1800 s ?
Well done!
Great vidya Ethan! I saw you at the show but didn't get chance to meet you. Maybe next time!
Dang Jack! We have to connect here at some point!

Shoot me an email with photos of the lock and any stamps on the barrel. I’ll try to help
@@ILoveMuzzleloading Hello, did you get my email with pictures? I am hoping you might have seen a gun like mine.

Thanks for the insight! I couldn't agree more.
Hi. I'm Dan Foster and I live in Spencer, In. Would like to met with you sometime. You pick time & place. I'm a 69 year old retired veteran.
Thanks Dan! I'll keep an eye out next time in I'm the area!
Make a video for that little chopped gun!!
Planning to here soon!
Perfect!
👍👍👍👍 beautiful guns
Where in Indiana do you live?
Way up north
That short barreled rifle would be an NFA item wouldn’t it? 😂😂
Thankfully it’s an antique in the eyes of the lawn😂

Looks like you wasted your money on the shaving soap. lol 😆

Thanks David, I’m always trying to improve and your notes help me with that!
