    Chips in the face

    Have you tried reducing the powder in the pan? It doesn’t take very much to ignite a charge, a few grains actually will do the job. When I was out squirrel hunting last year, I had to reload quickly, when I done that I noticed in my hurry I put way too much pan primer in, I was in such a hurry...

    Shooting Thru Steel? Is that possible..??

    I shoot steel targets all the time, the club I shoot woodswalks at, uses them as well… the steel targets I have and shoot at are swinging steel gongs, after I’m done with a session, give it a few days and the grass will die in a streight line on each side of the gong. Whats wrong with shooting...

    My stock finish secret weapon

    Or they will simply avoid the area altogether. A mature deer around my area is a smart deer, smart deer seem to see subtle abnormalities in their environment, it’s like they have a sixth sense at times. Keeping a dull firearm and blending in with the environment through playing the wind, scent...

    My stock finish secret weapon

    That’s funny, let’s just say I try and keep my deer as close as possible and I dont want any chance of spooking them whatsoever. Maybe I’m being over cautious, but I have kept the practices of a bow hunter even while hunting with my BP rifles. No reflections and blending in with nature equals a...

    My stock finish secret weapon

    As a deer hunter, I’m more partial to the satin sheen vs the polished sheen of wax. I don’t want the sun reflecting a shine from wherever I’m hunting.

    How often do you guys take apart and oil your locks?

    I never fully dissemble my locks, I do pull them from the stock and clean them with a tooth brush, then re-oil them with some lightweight spindle oil. I’ve never encountered any rust on mine.

    Wobbly Flintlock Hammer

    No it was a loose ****, the square hole was enlarged a tad and I just slightly peened it to fit

    Wobbly Flintlock Hammer

    It’s still working perfectly to this day. That’s been about 10 years ago and it has been heavily shot at matches and such.

    Wobbly Flintlock Hammer

    That’s been years ago that I done that, it didn’t take much and it tightened right up.

    Wobbly Flintlock Hammer

    That’s exactly what I done a few years back, I used a small punch and a medium sized hammer. I was able to just move enough metal to tighten everything up.

    Highlighting stock carving?

    This is my Woodsrunner that Ken Netting finished for me, he highlighted the moderate carving i asked him to do, giving my rifle a used and aged look.

    Uhmmm.. nope, Mike has helped me more than he will ever know, by reading his freely given comments and watching his tutorials.. his presence here is much appreciated… even his sense of humor. It’s builders like Mike Brooks, Ken Netting and Rob Miller that influence new builders to build “...
