Late Lancaster. Will pin the front and screw the rear.I pin mine, unless it is a Tennessee or Southern Mountain style. There may be others that use screws though. I try to stay somewhat history correct.

Wow nice target.I shot in a local(?) match as part of Big Sky State Games. Had a great time and reasonably good luck. Attached is one of my best ever groups offhand at 50yds. Shot 11 targets with my .45 cal. custom barrel on a Cabelas/Hawken kit gun. First outing for this rig in nearly a year. Fired over 60 rounds w/o swabbing using .440 ball, spit lube and .020" denim patch.View attachment 335328
I am bidding on an 1830 German carbine. Uk Bore .530 and barrel length 23”. I am struggling to get max bullet velocities For hunting. Although I would suspect it’s around 1200 ft sec. More of a curiosity than a hunterWow nice target.![]()
The pics make it look like there's a gap or it's wonky it's not. I'll do a little Browning solution on it as well and I may make the cavity a tad deeper or maybe drill a little divit so the jag sits down a little lower and it may help kinda lock it in place and keep it from moving around ?I did some filing on my GRRW-CA Hawken patch box it never sat flush and would snag and open and I was scared it would get damaged while hunting. I did some filing on it a long time ago and glued a magnet in to help but was always too intimidated filing on a 4-5k Custom rifle. Been doing a lot of gunsmithing in the past years and getting better and more confident using a file I was able to file the correct angles for the cover to sit flush and pushed it to conform much much better so it closes with authority and snaps closed. Glad I didn't slip yikes !!View attachment 335485View attachment 335486View attachment 335487
