I hear what you say about imperfections but it...

    Smooth bore hawken?

    I am currently building a 58 cal hawken, from a pecatonica parts set. It did occur to me that i could buy an extra barrel and have an interchangeable smooth bore barrel. I know its probarbly not PC but what the heck. Then i looked on the net for a green mountain 20g 1inch x32inch barrel. They...

    New New Rifle

    Now someone said on the last "new rifle" they wanted to see the Yeagur. Now please accept my sincere appologies if this bores you. Some one dared to ask for it so its on your own head. Specs are that it started life as a parts set from pecatonica, grade 3 wood again (loverly stuff in my book)...

    Why does it take so long to build a rifle from a custom maker

    Just to give you an idea this last weekend i probarbly spent ten hours tuning the lock and trigger unit for the hawken i am building from a pecatonica parts set. Polishing all the moving parts and shaping and polishing the sear tumbler arrangement to get as good an opperation as possible is not...

    To screw or not to screw that is the question

    Well now that i have your attention. Should i screw on the underbarrel rib or should i solder it onto the new hawken 58 i am currently building. The last one i screwed and its ok i just feel solder would be a more permanent job and also reduce the likelyhood of water / rust between the rib and...

As a first build i bought a hawken parts set from Pecatonica, now sure i made mistakes, things that could have been better. But i finnised up with a brown furniture, non fancy, working percussion rifle that holds its...

    Maple Magic Stain

    Never used it myself as i'm not in your country. However i have made a few rifles and i can say with conviction that if you are getting warnings like this then you had better heed them. Its really! no fun just undoing your finnishing job cos your not happy with it, by the time you have sanded...

    Stock Engraving

    On that type i would steer clear cos it wont look right. To dolly up something that should be plain and simple dosent add to the piece. As the guy said ban the dremmel to the model aircraft shop or somesuch place, dont even let it see a nice rifle. Just my two penoth Regards Dobson

    opinions about kits

    Its Pecatonica for me boys. On my fourth kit and very happy with the service they do go the extra few miles to keep you happy! Consider the 50cal barrel in 7/8 cos its lighter. Consider a wood patch box maybe with an inlay in the lid (i put a cow shin bone centre in mine, looks good. give me...

    tru-oil

    I dont know much about tru oil however i lavished my first build with about 4 coats of what i imagine to be my local tru oil type thing. The first time i did a 5 hour walk with it the wear from my hand (skin not glove) had worn the oil coat down noticeably. So on my other two builds i stained...
