    Progressive trouble firing

    Thanks for the replies. The rifle is a lyman GPR. It has a insert vent, but I do not know the geometry of the insert. So, the consensus is that when I am cleaning between shots, I am packing residue in the vent liner and to prevent doing this I should not use a cleaning patch all the way down...

    Scrap planed maple for carving practice

    I am sure that this has been asked before, but I am interested in getting some maple pieces to practice (learn) the fine art of carving and inlaying. Is there a place that I can get ~8-10 inch long pieces to practice? Your Thanks.

    First project suggestions

    Thanks for the comments all. I am not particularly daunted by the prospects of the build. I am an engineer, patient, have a machine shop to rely on, also the Gunsmith of Grenville. After reading through it -- from plank to inletted stock, I am not too worried.

    First project suggestions

    I have been forced out of lurking by the board telling me that they will de-activate my account if I don't post. So here. I am interested in a first build project. I have limited skills, so I need to have the wood pre-inletted. Having lurked, I know that Pecatonica has the best wood and...
