    .36 calibre kentucky kits

    Hey there Jumpshot,your suggestions I have taken on board and thankyou for them. As I have stated Traditions cannot export their rifles and if they did the Shenandoah would certainly be one that I would look at. As I have said the .36 or .38 allows me to shoot at almost any range whereas there...

    .36 calibre kentucky kits

    Hey Jumpshot, cheers for your reply. I already have a Pedesoli .45 and a great 'little' rifle it is to but it is to short in length for my aging eyes. A 54-57 inch percussion long rifle however is excellent because of the the distance positioning of the sights. The reason for a .36 or even a...

    .36 calibre kentucky kits

    Up to say $500 dollars US plus shipping. Could be interested in a good second hand one if it were available, it must be a long rifle roughly 3 feet between front and back sight and sights must be 'fixed'. Naturally a percussion and as I previously stated Kentucky,Pennsylvania etc etc shape...

    Any tips or links on carving staghorn?

    Yeah, Cowbone works well Bill.It is easiest scrimmed while it is hot just after it has been boiled and again it can easily be made to look like ivory.Polish it when cold with Brasso or any copper polish. Hookie

    .36 calibre kentucky kits

    Mike 2005, Cheers mate and thanks for that. You mention CVA; I dont seem to be able to find where they supply 'traditional' firearms. There is plenty of todays new rifles but the older style seem to have vanished. You got an net site????? Hookie

    .36 calibre kentucky kits

    Your'e right Jumpshot we can lessen the loads in a.45. Our Armourer tells us for 50 metre .45 target shooting 30 grains is OK. I was told Deer Creek make a nice Kentucky or similar Longrifle..I have no idea as to their price. Hookie

    .36 calibre kentucky kits

    Thanks again Jumpshot. Yes I have seen the model by Tradition .45 cal and that is the one that the rest thought would be the best option if no .36 was available. Sadly pistols are out it has to be rifle. Thanks again. Hookie

    .36 calibre kentucky kits

    Thanks for the quick response Kentuckywindage and Jumpshot.The Shenandoah $365 you mention translated in NZ dollars is roughly equal to $530 + tax and though personally I love it, it would work out to dear if we were to buy three as 'club' rifles for juniors to use. Any other ideas???? Thanks...

    .36 calibre kentucky kits

    We wish to import to New Zealand 3 or 4 .36 calibre kentucky style percussion longrifles in kitset form. Have looked at Dixie and Traditions but find .36 calibre a bit difficult to find. These rifles will be used for target shooting only. Can anyone help? Hookie
