    Tried out the new gun

    Tried posting about this a few days ago but musta hit the wrong button, cuz it ain't here. Any way, that gun I bought from Track on Thanksgiving evening, I have found out for sure that our own Rob Miller was indeed behind its creation. Week ago Wednesday I got off work early and grabbed what...

    ToW is FAST!

    I actually didn't type "Manure". Apparently, that 4 letter word that rhymes with "Trap" ain't allowed and gets changed...

    ToW is FAST!

    FedEx tried to deliver it yesterday. Didn't know FedEx delivered on Sundays... Anyway, ran to town this afternoon and picked it up at the FedEx "office". And here it is: The bottom one is my "Maybe I'll spark this time" 45. The top (middle?) one is what I got today. 42 inch 20ge, walnut stock...

    Who does Lock work?

    This .45 rifle I've got with the unidentifiable lock, I just can't get good spark out of it. When I got it the frizzen was beat all to hell. It had been "dry fired" many, many times probably with little success since the vent was just a pinprick in the Douglas barrel. I drilled out the vent to...

    ToW is FAST!

    Due to various factors there was no big family gathering for Thanksgiving this year for me to travel to to attend, so after a small gathering with one Daughter and some friends and a delivery from my other Daughter from her in-laws meal, I tried to stave off the resulting food coma by perusing...

    Can You Help?

    A certain portion of us (humans, especially the male population) have always pushed the edge of the envelope when it comes to restrictions on our activities. Sticking somewhat to the subject at hand we have Bumpstocks, forced reset triggers, AR "Pistols", semi-permanently attached barrel...

    Strange Day for Me in the Woods.

    I have shot only 1 "antlered" deer in my life. For me it was never about the "trophy". For very many years there just weren't that many deer around and so, I did not hunt them. Then the population blossomed and they (DNR) actually needed folks to help control the population of the "herd", help...

    What if question

    Legality aside, if I were to take that shot, lungs would be my target.

    Blowing down the barrel youtube video

    I do it to see if my touch hole is plugged. If I don't see residual smoke coming out that touch hole I know I'm gonna have to pick it.

    Cataract Surgury and Shooting

    I had the rapid onset type cataracts in my mid 40's. They kept asking if I was a welder or (being former LEO) if I dealt with flashbangs... Anyway you're essentially getting fixed focus eyeballs. I would suggest a trip to Wally World. Grab a bunch of the cheapest readers they got in various...

    Sitting Fox?

    Well, that little nightmare is over with, finally. Anybody else have dealings with Sitting Fox? Mine was not good. Some may remember my post back in March I think it was – OH The heartbreak – where USPS broke the stock. I had ordered and paid for a smoothbore Jaeger kit with a 1x36 Oct to round...

    Shooting Thru Steel? Is that possible..??

    I can get you some steel targets you can shoot through with a Daisy BB gun. It all has to do with type and especially thickness of said steel.

    A controversial topic...

    Ballistol...1st whiff reminded me of old, wet, dirty socks left forgotten in the corner of the laundry room. Then a more industrial, solvent sort of odor also came through. But hey; it works. Now when it comes to the "Farm" smells, as a kid I earned all my spending money working on farms in...

    Frizzen shot or not?

    I took some 800 grit wrapped around a large dowel (to maintain the slight curvature) to it and took down most of the gouges. No spark at all now. Didn't even bother putting it back on the lock, just used my flints from my fire kit. Put it back on, painted some mark fluid, and cycled it a couple...

    Frizzen shot or not?

    Don't know who the maker is. I bought via an estate sale. It has a 44in GR Douglas barrel in .45. Due to some of the "errors", I am assuming it was home built or a kit a completely blank stock. The wrist is too thin so as to put the trigger assembly too close to the sear, the ramrod channel has...

    Frizzen shot or not?

    What do you folks think? Pretty gouged up. Took a ******* file to it just to see and while it didn't really "bite", it didn't skate either and left a nice shiny ring showing the frizzen is cupped in the center. No, it does not spark well. 2/3 of the time it doesn't spark at all regardless of...

    Do you display your flintlock or other guns in your home

    My flintlocks will be seeing as how none of my cabinets/safes are tall enough to accommodate them. I'd rather have them hanging up high on the wall than leaning in a corner somewhere.
