    Need Help first Shot Hunting Accurary

    Shoot only first shots, clean completely between shots including the oil and clean oil out, do this at least 5 shots, see where the group is relative to point of aim. I zero my hunting rifles this way, so that the first clean shot is where I want it. I don't currently have any rifles that won't...

    Need Help first Shot Hunting Accurary

    How are you preparing your barrel for the first shot? I use petroleum oil to preserve my bore when my rifles are in storage, so before I load I clean the barrel with dry patches until I see no oil, then I use 90-100% alcohol and patches to wipe out the bore until they are clean, then dry...

    Davis Flintlock Lock Fit a Davis percussion Lock Inlet ?

    I'd call them, best answer is usually from the maker. Have pictures ready to email of outside and inside of your current lock when you call, any questions they can see the exact lock and help you.

    Please tell me it can be fixed

    Yes!! Steam out the dents first! Then I would rub it back with oil, more on the dark spots and less where it looks like you want it to, I would for sure do this before sanding back completely.

    Bahco Files

    The new Nicholson files are not great, I have worn out a brand new 10" mill ******* on a single build, there is about 3" at the tip and 2" at the handle that are still fairly sharp but the middle on both sides is done. Always stored in a sleeve. used properly, not abused at all. I'll make a...

    Getting a flat/no shine milk chocolate on standard maple?

    If it were me I would use Tannic acid, let that dry, then aquafortis, let that dry, blush with heat gun until it's black. Then rub that back almost to the color you want using oil and scotchbright or 320 paper. The tannic acid will tone down the red from the aquafortis and keep the color...

    Countersink??

    I would just about guarantee you are running them too fast, HSS you need to be running a max of maybe 100SFM. I would also just about guarantee the castings you are running them in are WAY harder than you think and WAY WAY harder than they need to be or should be. Anneal your castings and run...

    I must do this wrong

    You need to rub the aquafortis back, lots of people use scotchbrite or sandpaper and some oil. Just putting it on and blushing it goes dark and that's it, I can understand why you don't like it.

    Should I reach out to builder or adjust at home? Gap between lock and barrel

    I'd be disappointed if I paid for that.

    Limits of Hard Cast Roundball when hunting

    I've shot deer and an elk (one) with hardcast lead bullets in unmentionable handguns. Killing power is there but be prepared for long blood trails and blood trails that start and stop if you shoot traditional shot placement in heart and lungs. A double lung hit can easily go 200 yards and may...

    Fouling Shot

    Every rifle is different, but for me fouling shots are a hard no-go for hunting. My rifle might be loaded for a week or more. I haven't had trouble yet getting the first shot clean and cold zero'd, and frankly that is the one I am worried about. I do shoot strings to see how the gun groups...

    Welding

    A lot of the tang castings are 8620, fillers that work well could be 4140 class. With rust blue or browning I don't see how you'd see the weld, salt blue I think it will stand out.

    High quality chisel brands

    For bench chisels I am quite happy with Schaaf, they needed flattened and sharpened when they came out of the box but the steel is good and the price is reasonable. 2-2.5 hours for the set of 4 and they are good to go. All my others are Pfeil and they came out of the package very good, touch up...

    Inletting / fitting

    Bedding the tang with Accraglass is a good idea, it needs to fit well and have very solid contact with the stock in the recoil direction. A word of caution, get it completely assembled first, make sure everything else is good, THEN bed if you choose to go that way. If you bed early you can...

    Critter cameras

    A bit higher end camera will solve the not clear or takes too long issues, my cameras will easily capture identifiable animals at 25-30 yards for smaller **** size animals and 45-50 for deer. Mine are fast enough to capture birds a lot of time flying through the field of view.
