    CVA Mountain Lock Problem

    Look for interference between the lock function and the inletting for the lock. You can look for shiny spots on the inletting where lock parts of the lock are rubbing against the inletting or use some inletting black on the lock parts, reassemble the firearm, make it function, then disassemble...

    Cutting large chunks of lead

    In my profession I’ve literally cut up tons of lead brick size ingots of lead. The cutting device was a production level band saw. The blade was a 1/4” skip tooth blade with 4 teeth per inch and it was run at 300 feet per minute. As this was done now many years ago, new advice may be available...

    A Question On Cleaning

    Are you using isopropyl or ethyl alcohol? The reason I’m asking this is water does not mix with isopropyl but ethyl is readily soluble in water. So I’m looking for the rationale for using one or the other. ???

    Kibler vs. TVM.

    If you bring the lock out of its seating and then thread in the lock screw then tighten the screw down it will draw the lock into place as you carefully do this. Repeat this a very few times and your screw will then fit very well.

    Squirrel hunting, trying to piece it all together..............

    In my years in the great outdoors I have seen three bobcats and on lynx. The bobcats have been visible for a minute or so and then they have just disappeared in front of my eyes.

    Fairly new to muzzleloader's - Having loading issues - Help appreciated

    You’re correct on the arithmetic of the ball and patch but neither ball or patch are incompressible. Has anyone ever measured how much the ball and patch may be compressed. The barrel itself is not incompressible. Well all this boils down to just overthinking the situation - so just omit...

    Wood grade 5

    I feel that the figure in my SMR is most adequate. On staining with aqua fortis it turned out darker than I had anticipated. A picture may be posted when I’m finished. It’s being finished with a Classic Pilkington hand rubbing oil finish.
