    One piece stock for CVA Kentucky rifle?

    That or a stock inlet for a barrel but not for a lock. Wish I had the skill to make a stock from scratch!

    Accounting for fowling shot when hunting

    Good morning ladies(should any be present) and gentlemen. The fowling shots point of impact seems to always be a bit off, more or less, from where the main group prints when shooting. How do you account for this in hunting? Is it better try and sight in where that cold, unfouled shot is usually...

    Shooting Sharps bullets in a Hawken rifle

    Its an Investarms Cabelas hawken. I will try to keep all posits in mind as I go about developing this. I mainly want to get more shooting time in at the range as I have very few occasions to get to the range and need to maximize my time spent there, so loading more than shooting would not help...

    Shooting Sharps bullets in a Hawken rifle

    I had wondered about the original sharps bullets for it. What do you think of using something like a minie ball or similar conical with the paper cartridge attached similarly to the sharps?

    Shooting Sharps bullets in a Hawken rifle

    Hello all. I'm sure I'm not the first to think of this but wonder how one may go about it. I've been considering paper cartridges for ease of loading at the range and in the field for my .54 Hawken rifle, as well as my .45 Kentucky, and have bounced between making Pritchett style cartridges such...

    Shortened 1-66 .45 rifle

    What would the cost of such a modification be if I went with a gunsmith? Any gunsmiths on here who could quote such a job?

    Stuck ball in percussion cylinder

    So I got this Lyman 1858 .36 cal. revolver awhile ago and its done really well for me. I got tired of loading loose ball and powder so learned from youtube and made some paper cartridges. I was so excited to try them that I loaded the cylinder full to test their function. They loaded perfectly...

    Load development

    I’ve only been here for a few years. Dad was born and raised here then spent 20 years in the navy, thus I was born out of state and raised elsewhere. Came here after I got out of the military myself to be closer to the family here. Loving it!

    Load development

    I’m in East Texas so I’ll be after deer primarily, but hog is a possibility too. The woods are thick so mostly shots Will be 50 yards or less, with some wider areas maybe going to 100.

    Load development

    Traded last Saturday for a Cabelas Sporter Hawken (Investarms) in .54 caliber, and finally went and swapped projectiles. I mean to take this rifle hunting this year, and which ever of these is most accurate is what’s gonna go, though if the maxi hunters are decent enough their my number one. In...

    Pitting where powder charge sits

    There appears to be pitting in the chamber area of my .45 cal Kentucky rifle. Is this something that can be addressed? I’m considering shortening this rifles barrel anyway, so I’m curious if I could kill two birds with one stone. Can the breech plug and nipple drum be moved forward on a rifle...
