    Thoughts when buying a gun

    The reason I asked is a friend of mine has a Hawken type rifle that is a Daly. He is not an avid black powder guy so I've only seen his rifle a couple times but, if memory serves correctly, last time I saw it there was an Investarms stamp on it. It's the only Charles Daly gun I've actually seen...

    Squirrel Hunting Attire

    As a kid in the late seventies I wore whatever I got off the school bus with. Run in the house, throw the books down, grab a biscuit off the stove, my rifle, then out the door into the woods. No special clothing or gear. Just a gun, adequate ammo supply, and my pocket knife. Now not much...

    Frontier

    It came highly recommended so I have it a try. Didn't make it too far in before I just couldn't take it anymore. It's a shame. They could have made it a great story.

    Thoughts when buying a gun

    Im a total wood stock guy too. But I do buy them with the fake stocks sometimes because they can be often had for much less. Then I watch eBay until the right wood stock shows up for the right price. My latest example is a TC New Englander .54 with a short barrel. Paid $145 for it and, when it...

    Is there anyone out there that can make a barrel for a muzzleloader rifle?

    There are a few cool but considerably older .36 and .38 half stock rifles on GunBroker right now. Might be a bit of refurbishing on them. Would probably be pretty fun to restore one of those oldies and I like to imagine the history and the stories they could tell.

    Thoughts when buying a gun

    Im thinking a Dutch club butt Fowler would make a pretty good oar. I'm mean if it has too... You could move some water with one of those.

    Is there anyone out there that can make a barrel for a muzzleloader rifle?

    Wholesale Hunter in Wetumpka, AL will put you in a .36 Pedersoli Frontier with a 39 inch barrel. Flintlock is $954 and percussion is $902 brand spankin' new if the custom route turns out to be too time consuming or expensive. Just a possible option.

    SxS Shotgun lock spring HELP!!

    Yep. Spanish gun sold through Dixie. I had one in 20 gauge. Wish I still had it. Handy little guns and I'm guessing Dixie might have the part you need if you can't fix it. Let me know if you decide to sell it.

    Chrome moly 12ga barrel maker for.50 cal T/C Hawken

    Had a renegade stock a few years ago that had a chrome lined 12 gauge barrel on it. I'm sure I'm gonna spell this wrong, but it was an aftermarket barrel made by Toledo Armas. Every now and then I see a shotgun barrel from them pop up on GunBroker or eBay. They seemed to like making barrels for...

    Stock insert...

    I've got a .32 barrel that is, I think, 3/4. As far as wedge pin lineup and such everything is in the right place for a couple 15/16 stocks I've got. So I thought about making wooden shims to fit the channel in the stock. Don't know how well that would work. But could be an option.

    Cva Hawken pistol

    Don't know about the Hawken pistol. I'm in the market for one though. I do have the CVA Trapper (different from the Traditions Trapper) and the Mountain pistol. Great shooters. The mountain pistol is what I carry deer hunting when I choose to carry a pistol. Excellent accuracy in that one.

    Dry ball removal

    I had just posted that I've done it twice. I was wrong. Your comment reminded me of another time, back about 1997 or so, I dryballed a .32 CVA squirrel rifle. Had only been shooting BP for a few years and didn't know what to do. Took it to Medley's bait shop and Barry Medley had one of those CO2...

    Dry ball removal

    I've dryballed twice. The first time was a half stock .50. I used the ball puller and, with a little cussing, got it out without too much trouble. Last year it was my percussion .36 squirrel rifle. Don't have a ball puller that small so I tried the powder under the nipple trick. Took about three...

    Not sure what it is but it is pretty nice. What's the barrel length?

    Clarification of 2 Entirely Different Models - CVA Stalker & Mountain Stalker

    Well you beat me. My bobcat was $79 at Wally world back around 1997 or so. Got my first BP buck with it. She still looks great, shoots great, and never lost a deer with it. I love her.
