    The wonderful, baffling world of smoothbores

    Mike I am certain this is a tube barrel but it is my first smoothy and a learning experience. I believe a conversation between us, to improve my gun battery, is in the future. I really, really like that 16 gauge you built for Stumpy. As to the thee inch groups, that is fairly good considering my...

    The wonderful, baffling world of smoothbores

    I worked up a fairly heavy load in my Garner built .20 ga, for what turned out to be an ill fated elk hunt. The load consisted of 80 gr Goex FFF an oxyoke felt wad followed by a cast .600 an .010 ticking patch. This load gave me 4" groups at 25 and 5.5" at 50 yards. The biggest issue was an...

    Let's see some North West trade guns!

    "Most guys quit them due to getting their cheekbones beat up. I think they or the builder just followed Hanson's patterns as is. When I built mine I built it to fit me,and no problems. For any new guys out there who build their own or want to, you can't beat the NW gun. . " I've heard this...

    Need for Overpowder Card?

    My apology. When you said an "over powder card" I made the assumption of a normal 1/4" card wad. I should know better than to "assume" anything here. Snow

    Did TC make a Left-Hand Flintlock?

    I have a Left-Hand Renegade with a percussion lock. I've given thought to having it rebored to a 28 gauge smoothy and converted to my prefered flintlock ignition but I can't seem to find a lefty lock. Would anyone know of a left hand flintlock for the Renegade? I may just put this one in the...

    Need for Overpowder Card?

    Why not use a thin over shot card rather than a 1/4" card wad over the powder? It would seem to perform the function of protecting the powder from lube. Being light weight it would be less prone to put holes in the shot pattern and eliminates one more thing you would need to carry in the field...

    After shooting -- cleaning. There's the rub!

    I first wipe a mix of deer tallow and vegetable oil on the stock, barrel and all external metal. I the plug the vent with a wooden tooth pick. Urban pour hot, soapy water down the bore and let it stad for 10 minutes. After which I dump the water out and use several patches until the bore is...
