Scurlock Publishing is a family owned and operated corporation that was founded as Rebel Publishing back in 1974 by Oran H. Scurlock, Jr. and B.R. Hughes. The company's first product was MUZZLELOADER magazine, and the first issue was published in March/April 1974. The idea for a national magazine was hatched at the local shooting range during monthly shoots of the Piney Woods Muzzleloaders. Because there were few sources of information for black powder shooters in the early 1970s, Scurlock and Hughes decided to start MUZZLELOADER.

MUZZLELOADER's focus on early American and frontier history, and the reenactment thereof, led to the publication of The Book of Buckskinning in 1981. As of 2007 we have produced eight books in the Buckskinning series, as well as many other books on Colonial arms, Colonial and frontier clothing, gunsmithing and history.

Scurlock Publishing is proud of our American heritage of freedom, gun ownership and the spirit of adventure that makes our country unique.
