    Leaving Rifle Loaded

    Y'all do know that a load can be pulled to unload a ML and avoid unwanted "cleaning", right? A good bullet puller and a proper range rod easily pulls a roundball. That's what I do when deer season is over and I want/need to unload. They also sell CO2 discharge kits that blow the charge out with...

    Leaving Rifle Loaded

    I've never felt the need to swab my loaded bore with WD40 either.....so there's that.

    Parrot Vice $45

    You misunderstood me, I was referring to the Amazon ones and everybody fighting over the last one or two there. Turns out I don't need a Kibbler modified one either. Plenty of vises in my shop that do what I need.

    Leaving Rifle Loaded

    I'll second the "storing" a loaded rifle at the same temp as what you're hunting in. The quickest way to screw up a charge that's been at freezing all day is to bring it inside where the woodstove is cranked up. The metal will sweat and contaminate the powder with moisture. My garage is usually...

    Parrot Vice $45

    Don't worry about me buying one of those things. If I need fixed straight jaws for anything I have a 40 year old Craftsman woodworker's vise. Tough enough to push rusted U-joint caps out so it'll do anything I need woodworking wise. For stock building I built my own pattern maker's vise.

    I had no idea a Kibler was like this

    For those griping about the sights backwards.......

    One of the few places I spend a LOT of $$ at online.

    IRON NITRATE AND HICKORY RAM RODS

    I do ramrods like I do everything else hickory. Tomahawk handles, knife scales, and such. I wave a propane torch over them and pop the grain out, then stain to whatever I want. Finish with stock oil and wax.

    I did a bad thing.

    Hypothetically speaking. In reality, they will enact their policy and wait for you to pony up an attorney to take them to court and fight them yourself. And everybody knows a few hours of lawyer pay will exceed the cost of the entire transaction, and suddenly it becomes not worth it. They win.

    Well, let us know how that argument goes then.

    Don't Carve That Stock!

    I'll refrain from being judgemental about other's work, especially if I can't do it myself. I don't want to be part of that snob club........

    Don't Carve That Stock!

    So by your "logic" that equally disqualifies most then....and it's an exclusive club of snobs, like you. Got it....... I knew there was ultimately a "point" to your self grandiose thread here, it just took a little prying to get it to the surface.

    I did a bad thing.

    That could be a catch 22. Earlier this week I "took delivery" of a front fender for a 1999 Silverado pickup. When I say "took delivery" it was left at my back door while I was at work. Huge box, adequate packaging inside, and absolutely ZERO damage to the outside of the box. I initially...

    But it's not their policy to take a gun back. Period. Nowhere in that policy does it state "except when people on a muzzleloader website say to take it back".

    Don't Carve That Stock!

    Nope, I'm not good enough, though I may try it one day. I wasn't good at a lot of things once, including rifle building, then got better as I went on. Besides, I like plain and utilitarian. Does that disqualify me from appreciating others artistry or others work that's the best they can do?

    Pretty common problem around here.

    Don't Carve That Stock!

    Ok, so we are including ridiculously stupid crap, some on unmentionables, in with long rifle "carvings" that are a little off or not exactly right. Is that to broaden the argument? Let's see pictures of those bad carvings on traditional long rifles and smoothbores. That would be a more...

    I did a bad thing.

    Go and search their customer help center for "returning a muzzleloader". The link below pops up and THAT IS IT. Nothing specific to muzzleloaders. I know you mean well, and I agree, but unfortunately this is their policy. Now it's a muzzleloader here, so not technically under the federal law...

    From Midway's "Returns Policy". "If a product (other than a gun) is defective, we will accept it with a detailed explanation of the defect, subject to validation upon receipt. Guns cannot be returned to MidwayUSA. Factory New Guns should be returned directly to the manufacturer for warranty...

    Pain in the Butt Plates

    Well, yes, it is left handed. It's my personal rifle that I built for me while housebound recovering from a hip replacement two summers ago. It did start out as a "Tennessee" pattern rifle per say, but I decided part way in, to build it as if I was an 18th century builder and building in my own...
