    removing the raised cheek piece

    Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, I have been up to my hip pockets in alligators and no signs of draining the swamp. :shocked2: Thanks for that tidbit, I have not started the project yet, > I want to get it done by christmas though I am thinking to give it to my 15 year old son for a gift.

    deer at 100 yards with roundball???

    I like to quote that famous line from a cop movie from the 70s. "A man has got to know his limitations". Those limitations encompass all sorts of things. Distance, obstructions, energy transfer at given distances etc. But the most important point and perhaps the bottom line is, are you confident...

    Glad to have your advice, I havn't started the project yet. But was planning on getting it underway to day. I don't have a spoke shave but I will try to come up with one on my journey out and about today. Thanks again.

    Rust in the barrel

    When I bought the .50 it had some rust inside the barrel as well. I tried a rust breaker(the best I have ever seen anywhere. Its called PB Blaster and you find it in farm supply stores and auto parts stores. The stuff works great is fairly easy to clean out once you are satisfied the rust is...

    Any New Ideas for Movies?

    How about the Porter Rockwell Chronicles? Here is a true to life man who as sheriff has been credited with dispatching more bad guys than Wild Bill, Wyatt Earp, Bat, combined. There is a series of books by Richard Lloyd Dewey that is true and factual about the man.

    removing the raised cheek piece

    My CVA Hawken that I bought from an individual(the same cad, that said I as a newbie should be loading 100grns with Sabots)and the butt has the raised cheek piece. I have never liked cheek pieces or such and am curious if I can sand that down to smooth & flush with the butt without harming the...

    The Patriot - lessons in loading

    I agree with ya on this one, it is all but impossible to frame both actors as they are going about the art of trying to kill each other. The editors did a real fine job in attempting to illustrate Natty Bumpo's reflexes. They were not attempting to make him look super human but wise and quick to...

    tomahawk question

    You can find good throwing hawks at several online company sites. Crazy Crow, Wandering Bull just to name a few. They are relatively inexpensive and are a good place to start. I was taught to throw by a lifelong rendezvous/re-enactor. The first thing he told me was to trim the handle down or...

    pillow ticking

    I went to my local wally world the other day and asked the girl in the fabric department for pillow ticking. I might as well have asked her what the sub particulate matter of boron is. She had that deer in the headlight look and pointed me to the sporting goods area. I explained to her what it...

    Simple Green or Glass Cleaner for Barrel Cleaning

    Ahhh finally a post that I can contribute to LOL!. Don't use vineagar if you want to maintain the blueing or the finish on your wood. It will eat right through the blueing and will leave your wood with very unsightly white spots at the least. It will over time with continued use cause rust to...

    Balls or Sabots?

    Zonie; Thank you for your help here. I have become so rattled at this rifle's may or may not shoot that I had put it aside for a while hoping I would find somebody somewhere that could help me. One of the last times I shot the rifle(not the last call it the climbing back up on the horse thing) I...

    Balls or Sabots?

    I hope you don't mind me jumping in the middle here but I am brand new to both this forum and muzzleloading. I have a CVA Hawken in .50 cal. The man I bought it from insisted that I shoot Sabots. I have shot about a hundred rounds of these through and have tried to clean it. I am having trouble...
