    Who makes a Hawken style rifle?

    There appears to be a bunch of them for sale that just cropped up about a month ago. TOTW has the best price I've seen. I bought one :) $500 today is better than $200 ten years ago with the way prices have jumped. IMO.

    Who makes a Hawken style rifle?

    You did see it? Your first post mentioned only finding new Traditions and Pedersolis and used TC and Lymans. And that one is a new Lymans.

    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Black powder shop. What a memory. Aside from all the gun shops stocking black powder guns and powder back when I was a kid, there was even a BP shop called the Bear's Den. Sure do miss those days. I still have some 4F, marked as such, in a plastic container I was given forty-some years ago...

    SMRs and long barrels

    I don't know if they thought the same way about accuracy back then, but apart from sight radius like you mentioned, the longer a projectile is in a barrel the more the barrel can affect its flight. I would think someone would have figured that out.

    Thanks. It was in line with the threads at a 90 degree angle, so I thought it was a set screw. I should have tried a pipe cleaner down it. I greased the threads up when I put everything back together. After playing around with that hawken it will be nice to shoot something else.

    Found it. "Read More" That opened up what I wanted to see. Kind of unobtrusive, like an Etsy page.

    Drum. That's the word I was looking for. I was thinking it was called a barrel. And that is my guess, too. There does not appear to be a way to get at it from the nipple side. I was thinking there might be some kind of cleanout screw, but there's the nipple and there's some sort of set screw...

    Not to be the contraire... But I've never had heat affect a barrel's finish that has been blued. And I have heated the heck out of some Italian guns trying to remove a stuck screw.

    LOL, I already learnt me about the ramrod on my Hawken ;) It's right down there in the breech where the spark shoots out of... I imagine it's not called a vent liner on a percussion?

    Those buckhorns are tricky, aren't they? Nice group at 30yds. Looks to be a nice shooter.

    Tough website to understand for someone like me that doesn't know the difference between models. There isn't a description saying what the difference is between say a Colonial and a Mtn Rifle. The Woodsrunner shows a picture with a full stock, but the other models do not. Are they a full stock...

    Uberti front sight soldering

    I soldered a front heart sight on a fowler and used 60/40 and the regular blue bottle propane. No need for Mapp gas. But your silver solder might require it... that used to be used on refrigeration lines that had to hold up to a lot or pressure. Maybe it still is. I've been out of that biz for a...
