    Mark Silver Discusses Gun Making

    Mark Silver discusses rifle making during the 2006 Spring Shoot.

    Friendship – Spring 2006

    I stopped by Mark’s booth just before I had to leave Friendship. I thought I had missed him. He’s another long-time friend. I was lucky enough to take one of his classes at the rifle-making Seminar.

    Mark is another of today’s makers who worked for John Bivins. Mark is on my short list of men whom I consider authorities on the flintlock. I greatly admire his work. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much as I did. We taped this conversation in a booth at Friendship where there were a few interruptions. I left them in the recording feeling that they added to the atmosphere.

  • Gunmakers Panel Discussion

    Blackpowdermag presents a Panel Discussion from GunMakers Hall. Listen as Mark Silver, Jim Chambers,Bob Harn, Wallace Gusler, and LC Rice field audience questions. . . . . . .

    Black Powder Magazine is pleased to bring you a series of digital interviews and discussions promoting black powder shooting sports. Our initial offering is a panel discussion taped at Gunmakers Hall during the NMLRA 2006 Spring Championships in Friendship, Indiana. Participants in the discussion are Jim Chambers, Wallace Gusler, Bob Harn, LC Rice, and Mark Silver. Because of its length, the discussion will be broken into six segments. The panel discussion segments will be published at intervals in the coming months. We think you will enjoy hearing the experts’ thoughts on a variety of muzzleloading topics. All comments are “off the cuff” responses to audience questions. The segments vary in length between 15 and 25 minutes.

    Panel Discussion Part 1:
    LC Rice talks about barrels. Wallace Gusler and Mark Silver discuss fitting a custom gun to the shooter. Wallace also talks about effect of moisture on the “movie gun”.
