    Kentucky Rifle

    Lots of great responses here. I think I'm starting to get the idea. Now, another question. What kinds of Black Powder are some of you guys using? I have plenty of 2f and 3f Goex express on hand. Will this perform the same in the Muzzleloaders as it does in the cartridge rifles?

My stock is somewhat pre-carved with the barrel channel cut and the ramrod channel and hole done. The ramrod channel is only 3/8 and I need it to be for 7/16, so one of the first things to do is...

    Hey from another Texan

    Hey Guys, I been reading stuff on here for a while, just joined a couple days ago. I live in the Piney Woods of East Texas.

    Hawken lock

    Thanks for the replies.My idea is to use the James Goodoien 35 inch barrel with the Jim Bridger lock and breechplug. I think it will make a nice looking and good shooting rifle.

    Hawken lock

    Hey Guys, This is my first post on here. I have some questions and I figured this would be the best place to get the right answers. I want to build a full stock hawken, but the only kits that Track has are flint. I would rather make it a percussion rifle. What I would like to know, is there a...
