    .72 caliber muzzleloader

    They are built by Pedersoli. I don't own one, but they have a good reputation for building a quality firearm. You can search these forums for "pedersoli" to get information on general quality and other models from the same vendor, and on "kodiak" to get info on the specific rifle. If I...

    Lead

    I'm in the same boat - just about to start casting and looking for lead. The plumbers supply here has 5lb ingots for $9. Haven't tried dentists yet, but that's on my list now... Nate

    .50 Lee Molds for Deer/Elk

    Thanks everyone - I'd looked at the plains bullet mold and liked the meplat and the weight - I'll give that one a try. Nate

    .50 Lee Molds for Deer/Elk

    I've picked up 3 molds in .50 from Lee - the Improved Minie (500-360-M, flat point, large grooves - not the target one), a REAL and a RB. There are plenty of PRB hunting reports on the forum, but I was wondering if anyone has experience good or bad they could share with the other two? Thanks -...

    Front/Rear sight for Traditions kit?

    Yeah, the ramrod was plastic also... That was the first two things I noticed when I opened the kit box (sights/ramrod). Admittedly I haven't shot one of these in a long while, but when I was 14 (and clumsy as a pig on skates) I never for a minute worried about breaking my wood ramrod. I guess...

    Front/Rear sight for Traditions kit?

    I got traditions phone # off the website and told them what I wanted to do - they sold me a new rear sight for $24 and a new front sight for $6. Thanks for the replies - Nate

    Any tips for Birchwood Casey Browning?

    Thanks guys - I don't think I'll be able to wait until Summer. Most likely will do it this Sunday morning halftime... How long did you wait between coats? Can you start right after it has cooled off with the next application or did you need to let it sit for awhile? Nate

    Any tips for Birchwood Casey Browning?

    I'll be browning the bbl on my kit this Sunday with Birchwood Casey Browning solution. The instructions state to get the metal approx 275 degrees F and then apply and wipe off / repeat as needed. I don't have room in my oven for a 28" bbl, and I'm thinking of doing it over coals in my...

    Front/Rear sight for Traditions kit?

    Starting my first kit gun this week. Its the 'traditions hawken' kit (.50, perc, 28" 1:48) The first thing I noticed when unpacking the parts is the front and rear sights are made of nylon / plastic. The front looks to be a standard dovetail in the bbl, and the rear has 2 screw holes tapped...

    Yeah no kidding. I'm going to guess this stuff might stink just a little. I wonder if our oven's self-cleaning feature extends to Birchwood Casey Gun Brown compound? :thumbsup:

    Re-Acquainted

    Yup - I have a few points in OR right now so I'm hoping to find something in the Malheur / Murderer's Creek / John Day area for Deer. I'm thinking of doing a WA side hunt with a friend of mine who lives across the river. If I'm reading the regs correctly you can hunt up there with a 'general'...

    Thanks guys. I'm off to the woodshop to get some shaping and carving tools today. Then I need to figure out if I can brown this bbl in the oven at home. Nate

    I owned/shot a TC 45 Hawken in the mid 80's when I was in high school. I haven't so much as fired one since. After lurking on the board for awhile and reading bits here and there I stumbled on what I think was a decent deal today and bought a .50 Traditions percussion hawken kit for $159...
