    How accurate is a folding leaf sight?

    I've seen a few people with modified leafs (peeps) who did very well at 50 and 100 yards.

    Round ball and patch recommendations

    I just got a 45 cal Hawken and would like to work a charge up for it. I'm not new to muzzleloading but I am new to patched roundballs. Where do I start on ball / patch size? Thanks, Brian

    Please help me identify my new gun

    Good to know about the trigger, I'll look into that tomorrow. The bore is in fine shape, just some surface rust at the muzzle... no pitting. I have a bunch of fffg (GOEX) and I'll start with that. Thanks all for the help. I'm looking forward to shooting her and seeing how it groups.

    Please help me identify my new gun

    I didn't take it as condescending , just good advice! Thanks. This is a nice gun, but I have a few percussion guns so I'm thinking of trying to sell/trade this for a flinter (always wanted one of those). That's why I'm trying to find more info about it so I know a little about value. Of...

    That was the first thing I did. I checked with the ramrod first, then with a bore light.

    Please help me identify my new gun

    Looks like it's a T/C trigger at least. At least it looks like it judging by the pictures on ebay auctions. The set trigger is broken so only the fwd trigger works. Where can I get parts for that? Looks like there is a little tang on the fwd trigger that the rear one engages when pulled...

    Please help me identify my new gun

    I looked inside the lock and there is no markings there. I'm impressed with the wood inletting and the barrel seems like it is very well made.

    Please help me identify my new gun

    Can someone help me identify this gun. My neighbor gave it to me and couldn't tell me anything about it. It has 2 triggers, 8 land and grooves, and is marked 45 cal on top of the barrel. The bottom of the barrel is marked G CASWELL # 15. No other marks are on the barrel that I can see. I...

    barrel bands on an enfield

    I have a p58 3 band enfield (actually an early Parker Hale replica). Does it improve the accuracy to have the barrel bands loose? The stock is bedded and it seems to me that tight bands might change the point of impact as the barrel heats up and expands. If so, how loose are we talking...
