    Touch Hole Liner Repair, Plug, and Redrill

    I recently modified a gun that was toooó long. Cut 14"off the barrel and stock, refitted the nose cap, reduced some thick spots on the stock and replaced wood on the lock bolt side where the builder had in letter a horrendously ugly piece of brass after trying their hand at engraving. Then, I...

    The Sherriff got it done!

    It's amazing that the round you fired killed that deer. We are in our regular rifle season here (unmentionable). I had a nice 8pt step out last Tuesday at 75yds. I shot him broadside ... in the shoulder about half way from top to bottom.. when he didn't drop I was dumbfounded. When I didn't...

    Unusual (to me) Bill Large barreled rifle

    Gun was built by Tom Nixon, just has a Wm. Large barrel with 8 lands/grooves. The lock and triggers are by Bob Roller. Ive heard 7 lands/grooves are top notch Douglas barrels, never heard that with regard to Wm Large.

    No new builds

    I'm lucky, the little woman never says anything about any guns, muzzleloading or otherwise. Leaves me to my own devices. Bills are paid and we are comfortable, so I don't bother her if she wants something, and she doesn't bother me if I do. Never understood why women feel the need to limit...

    Well guys, I had my chance.........

    Reading the posts above is like science fiction for me. Lucky to see a buck during the season. If I get a deer, I'm fortunate.

    Fake Hawken Rifle ?

    The lettering seems rather crisp for the age and overall condition of the gun. Would Sam have stamped S Hawken at an angle like that?

    WV Here I come!

    That is a great idea, in the Adirondacks, we always carried the deer out like a backpack. Or, if alone, dragged it. Probably a lot easier to carry just the necessary stuff out and leave the excess weight on the ground. The days of carrying a whole deerr are in the past for me now, and I don't...

    Questions, is it just me but I get a ton of them by PM

    I sometimes wonder what it would be like to follow a kid in school all day and sit through what I believe is the brainwashing session they get. No ethics, no civility, no raw history. Just safe spaces and history skewed through the left prism.

    World is full of rude entitled people. But.... You are a builder so it makes sense to ask someone who knows as opposed to the average joe on the forum. Most of my answers wouldn't be worth much. Yours are. Maybe it's a compliment.

    Trail-cam pictures.

    Never seen a buck during hunting season that I had on camera. Hope NY doesn't make cams illegal, I enjoy what I do see. I would love it if the nocturnal flying squirrels that infest my area would stop taking up space on the memory cards. They're hard to see but set the cams off constantly...

    Unusual (to me) Bill Large barreled rifle

    According to Bob Roller, who worked with Bill Large, barrels were sometimes made in odd calibers. Simply because Bill wanted too, or if someone special ordered it.

    Unusual (to me) Bill Large barreled rifle

    I also have a Hawken with a Bill Large barrel, JJJJ stamp. I read somewhere a few years ago, that he tested his barrels and the most accurate got the 4J stamp. Could be rumor.
