    Jack Garner 40 Year Rifle

    I can’t find it but I know I read an article about using a 29 caliber for squirrel, it was a custom barrel he had made.. he then continued to talk about testing out the TC Cherokee .32 and how they changed the twist from the Seneca. Interesting article for sure but talks about the .29 should be...

    Two guns well possibly three!

    So I have not a lot of muzzleloaders but enough to make it hard to choose which one to shoot and hunt with, so I was thinking I’m going to clean my others really well and put them away for the season and use two main guns and a third, percussion, for rainy days in rifle season. So the guns I’m...

    Which mountain rifle?

    It’s a 15/16 or that’s what my tape measure says hahah it pulls up nice and balances nice as well and like I said the bore is just about new it’s clean. The more I look at the old thing it kinda grows on me hahaha. My biggest dilemma now is do I convert it to flint or leave it as percussion...

    Percussion locks

    The more I lock over the old CVA lock the more I think it’s a pretty good one. And the fact that I have two on hand I can replace anything if it does go so I think I’ll keep it

    Cleaning .36 Seneca

    I’m going to try the hot water for sure, only reason I have stayed away from it was bc long time ago when I got my first muzzleloader I cleaned it with water and was so scared to get rust in it I didn’t use plan water anymore. I know the mixture I use obviously has water in it but just plan...

    Percussion locks

    Yeah that lock is pretty solid and very smooth and I wasn’t going to touch that one!

    Cleaning .36 Seneca

    Well I didn’t want to get anything started hahaha I just wanted to know the best way to clean with these little tunnels they put from the breech to nipple and from what I’m getting hot soapy water (and I’ll definitely try Murphy oil, I use that for patch lube anyway and like it) in a bucket is...

    Cleaning .36 Seneca

    Okay so I just acquired a little .36 Seneca, most of my guns are flint and most of them have a traditional breech. I know with the TC and CVA they are different which now I have both.. with the TC do I need a rounded scraper for that style breech on that gun? Also how do you all go about...

    Which mountain rifle?

    I found a converter bolt on eBay but you still need to do some file work and drilling but it’s good to have! For the squirrel I just dremeled off the drum and am using that for now. Going to weld a little bead over the hole it left, file it down and redrill we did it before on an old gun and it...

    Rough barn gun

    I will definitely do that! It’s definitely a neat piece of wood with some good curl, I rubbed a damp cloth on it and was pretty excited to see the curl but these big holes are going to look nice too! The stock came from TVM so I’m assuming it was done properly, but like I said all these holes...
