    Sam Houston National Forest in Texas

    My best recommendation to you is to avoid people. Don't use gates, creeks, signs, hiking trials, or any other access that attracts other people. Hardwood bottoms and creek bottoms are fine but I see 5 deer in the thicker undergrowth in the pines to every 1 deer I see in the hardwood bottoms...

    Centermark Fusil sear spring

    Well that was easy, on the phone and off the phone in less than 5 minutes. Told the nice lady what I had and she just went "yep". Easy peasy.

    Centermark Fusil sear spring

    That has crossed my mind. If I don't sell it I may do just that. It all depends on what Jim Kibler does with this supposed Fowler kit.

    Centermark Fusil sear spring

    I will let y'all know. I like mine and cosmetically, fit and finish wise it's beautiful, but I still can't get it to shoot worth a darn. It does ok with shot with the sky chief load so I've hunted some squirrels with it, but I still can't get it to shoot round ball in any fashion, definitely...

    Barrel Harmonics or Technique?

    The pin holes are elongated horizontally. The rifle drives tacks off the bench, despite the POI shift, as shown in the first post.

    Shooting a ramrod out of the barrel..?

    You mean we aren't all perfect in each and every way, never making a mistake? 😆 To date I've done dry ball, but no patch...not sure why I just decided to drop the ball down the barrel, did the short start thing a few weeks ago for the first time which to my surprise with real bp didn't bulge...

    Centermark Fusil sear spring

    It's definitely an R.E. Davis lock, so I will give them a shout.

    Centermark Fusil sear spring

    Anyone know where I can source one? Mine decided to split in half tonight. I've scoured T.O.T.W. and nothing so far. I'm sure there are several options that would work, but I can't find an individual spring for sale anywhere.

    Witnessed Unsafe Behaviors

    The unloaded guns being loaded and then finding a glowing ember after the fact are the ones freaking me out.... I always thought I was being a little excessive running a spit patch down the pipe before loading up again... maybe I'm not after all.

    Barrel Harmonics or Technique?

    This is why they make left hand twist barrels, for those below the equator. On our side we shoot right hand twist. Right is.... right? Anyway Indeed.

    Barrel Harmonics or Technique?

    That's roughly what I ended up doing with the Kibler and that's what tightened things up finally in field positions.

    Barrel Harmonics or Technique?

    Depends on the discipline. For silhouette I shoot snug, not tight, not loose. Too tight and I introduce too much human variable in prone, too loose and the 550gr projectile in the fast twist douglas affects windage as it twists the rifle too much, and then when I discovered shooting with a...

    Blackpowder metallic silhouette match

    Hey! I like this idea. I shoot BPCR Silhouette and I've been wondering if we could do something like this with flinters.

    Barrel Harmonics or Technique?

    A little more range time from various field positions today. I'm just realizing that this is a hard gun to shoot off the sand bags as well. The swamped thin profile 58 cal barrel coupled with the big shove makes it difficult, but we are minute of deer at this point. It's not a lot of recoil, it...

    SOLD 3hole .58 cal ball block

    Dang! Looks like I wasn't quick enough. I see no replies, is it really sold?
  16. Travis186

    Barrel Harmonics or Technique?

    Got the new front sights in, fit, and installed. The Ted Kramer 40 shoots lights out as always. It's funny, off hand when I break my shots they go a little right, so I adjusted the sights for that but then leaned up against a tree it's still hits where I want. I was taking the heads off on my...

    Bottom pour lead furnace. Lyman or RCBS?

    The new promelt 2 is the bee's knee's with built in PID... if you're wanting to spend coin, that's the direction I would go. Been using Lee pots for years but I'm ready to upgrade, at least for unmentionable projectiles.

    SOLD 58 Cal Bridger Hawken, Green Mountain Barrel, Davis Lock and Triggers, Price Lowered Sold Pending Funds.

    Bought a Fusil from Dave, and it was better than described. He's a straight shooter and knows his stuff fellas, don't hesitate. 👍

    Barrel Harmonics or Technique?

    The brush where I hunt is head high, one must hunt at minimum 25' to see down into the pockets of brush. At best you'll only get a high shoulder shot. Hit one and have it run and leave little blood trail and you'll likely never find it without a dog. It is what it is. I've made high shoulder...

    Barrel Harmonics or Technique?

    Gus, I've had one of those protektor bags for so long it's black at this point from hand oils. Trust me, every piece of sophisticated bench rest equipment one could possibly own, I have it, including multiple chronographs although I just use a labradar now. My first flirtation with flintlocks...
