    Dovetail sight installation

    Hey guys, Not sure if I am in the right thread (my apology's) I am installing a new Williams fire sight on a investarms Hawkens. The front sight is dovetail and was loose going in. I shimmed it with a feeler gauge and it is nice and tight but there is a space between the front and rear of the...

    Loose wedge pin

    Got it! It is a wedge and a slight bend worked. I tried to bend the barrel lug but couldn't (trying not to hit it too hard) wedge much easier. Thanks! Rob...

    Loose wedge pin

    Hey guys quick question. What is the best way to tighten a loose wedge pin? My pin is practally falling out with very little pressure. Is there a good fix or should I just get a new pin. Thanks, Rob...

    Cabelas Hawkens and Lyman GPR what is the difference?

    I already have a Cabelas Hawkens. I got it for Christmas. I was just wondering if it was made differently than the Lyman (Lesser quality).

    Cabelas Hawkens and Lyman GPR what is the difference?

    So, then I can take it that the parts are the same? Barrels, (rate of twist might be different but barrels are interchangeable)? Locks are interchangeable? One gun is not better than the other is basically what I'm asking. Thanks.

    Cabelas Hawkens and Lyman GPR what is the difference?

    Let me rephrase the question. From what I understand both guns are made by Investarms. Are they both made with the same materials? Are the Cabelas barrels not as good as the Lyman barrels? Are the locks the same on both guns? I have been reading some of the old forums and I have noticed that...

    Finally got pics of new TVM

    Yep, I just went there for the first time on Sunday. It's only 8 miles from my house. Never knew it was there. Nice shop. The owner was very helpful in getting me set up for my new Hawkens. Wish this weather would break I can't wait to do some shooting.

    Finally got pics of new TVM

    Thanks, I not going to be run off. I've seen a lot worse on some of the other sites I go to. Just didn't want to be the cause of the argument. You don't learn if you don't ask questions. I have been shooting a muzzloader for about 20 years now so I'm not really a novice but I'm not that...

    Sorry I asked. Just learning about these rifles and never saw one without the barrel keys.

    L&R Locks?

    Actually, When It comes time for the custom rifle I was looking at the TVM Leymen rifle. I will probably upgrade the wood to the premium maple and I like the fact that I can choose the barrel length. I don't really want a very long barrel. Probably somewhere around 28". It is a nice looking...

    Beautiful rifle!!! Here is a stupid question. How do you remove the barrel for cleaning?

    L&R Locks?

    Well, I made to Dixon's in PA yesterday and after talking to him he told me to shoot the gun as is. In his opinion they are very good reliable locks and he has not had any problems with them. So, I will probably leave the lock and trigger alone for now and try the gun first. Unfortunately for...

    L&R Locks?

    According to L&R's websight they make a lock specifically for the Cabelas hawkens. http://www.lr-rpl.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=73:lymaninvestarmscabelas-lcok&catid=36:cva-small&Itemid=62

    L&R Locks?

    I'm talking about the Cabelas Hawkens. From what I understand investarms makes the gun for both Lyman and Cabelas. The stock is nice but I'm not crazy about the trigger so I will probably go what the replacement that was suggested. I was just wondering if the L&R would be a big improvement over...

    L&R Locks?

    So, then I will take it that the investarms locks are not bad? Got a Cabelas hawkens for Christmas and was thinking about upgrading parts. Don't know if it is worth it. Not quite ready for a custom gun yet.

    My first flintlock

    Wow!!! That is beautiful. Is he a custom maker? Good luck with it. Hopefully it shoots as good as it looks.

    L&R Locks?

    Hey guys, I was checking out the L and R Rpl locks and I was wondering how much better there are as apposed to the TC lock or the Investarms lock. If it is going to make a big difference then I will probably do it. Please let me know. Bob...
