    Panther hunters tent ( Pyramid)

    Thanks for all the information. I placed an order for a 14x9 wedge from Tentsmiths today. I can't get everything in the jeep. I'm just going to buy a small trailer.

    Panther hunters tent ( Pyramid)

    Single vs Double Triggers?

    I have a custom early Virginia rifle being built in 54cal. I chose to go with a single trigger. The gun will be used for club matches and plinking. I just like the way it looks and I don't see where I will be loosing anything in accuracy.

    Don Stith 1792 contrect rifle

    I was looking at those before I ordered a custom gun. I may put in a order for one. The 49cal is very interesting.

    Swamped vs Tapered Barrels

    Im having a Tennessee gun built in 40 cal and going with a very light taper. It will be 15/16 to 7/8 over 40.5" so it will not be that noticeable. The rear sight will smidgen shorter and the front just a bit taller. Some guns are just not right with a swamped barrel. The original gun had a 1"...

    .36 vs .40 cal rifle?

    I have owned a couple of 32s and have a custom 40 or order. I will buy another 32. I don't think it really matters what cal you buy. Keep in mind the small the hole the heavier the barrel (if same OD). Just get one and have fun.

    .40 caliber, which contour?

    Barrel has been ordered. It is a 40.5" straight taper 15/16 to 7/8 with a 1/57 twist. I chose to start with a 15/16 for a good ram rod clearance. The rifle will come out a little heavy but it is a target rifle so it does not matter. Charles Burton recommended going with a taper barrel for...

    choosing a longrifle

    If you want a 32 I would suggest you get one. They are great fun. You did not mention hunting in your post. The 32 may be a little limited in range but I usually end up shooting off had at 50yds or less anyway. The 32 will shoot at 100 very well on a calm day. Some people love the small bore...

    Ordered a rifle today.

    I don't like to see someone's reputation tarnished without a shred of proof. I don't know Mike Lange but have a friend that he is building a gun for right now. The fact that the OP cannot produce a pic and wants to cut the gun into pieces makes no sense. If the OP is infact this broke he...

    Shooting without wiping

    I shot without wiping. I use a sloppy wet patch. I sure there is some loss in accuracy and velocity from getting the powder damp. I shoot a lot of woods walks and have gone to the same method for all my shooting to help improve my woods walk scores. Key is a sloppy wet patch and liquid lube. I...
