    .36 or .40 ?

    I too use the .40 here in TN for deer... Taken a few thus far! However, lost a nice buck thus year. Shoulder shot, bad placement on my part, rolled him and he got up staggered off before I could reload. Never found him or ANY blood. Placement must be proper... Just sayin

    .36 or .40 ?

    Great advise..... One caliber is not enought to notice much. Get the .40 and enjoy. Unless you like having one of each caliber, then just go buy them all!. I personally have .32, .36, .40, .50 flintlocks.... Rice barrels all of them and the .40 is by far my favorite.

    32 or 36cal suggestions

    You may have made your decision but let me put in my two cents... I struggled with the same question on my last build (just completed) and went with a .40 southern swamped from Rice. I have a buddy with a .32 and we shot on a 10 mph wind day in different situations and the .40 out shot the .32...

    Pan Prime for hunting?

    Great reply, thanks for the information. That all makes good since to me. I guess tuning my locks are another issue! They seem fine and function well, but you have me thinking... I too want all my guns working at their peak. After all the time to build I want top performance when I pull the trigger!

    French Trade Knife Kit???

    Thanks buddy, I have gone to Track but they have stopped offering kits... I build long rifles so aging the blade and finishing the wood is not a problem... I was hoping to find a complete kit. Google did not provide me with what I wanted and that's what prompted this post! Oh well... Thanks

    French Trade Knife Kit???

    Where can I find a good French Trade Knife Kit? I need a total kit as it will be for a friend with no experience... I saw some at the CLA show in Lexington but did not purchase... Any ideas?

    Whiskering my stock

    Hey guys, I am whiskering my stock and am using distilled water. The stripes in the maple are turning slightly dark after whiskering. I thought the distiller water would prevent this. I will be using Aqua Fortis and was making sure the acid will work correctly? Thanks
