    Getting there !

    That's certainly good shooting off sticks for having a flinch, @Rocketman89408 ! Is less primer in the pan supposed to help with a flinch? If so, I'll have to try it. I've got a bad flinch. I'm at the stage of dry firing with a flint but no powder to get used to the sparks first. Next will...

    Hawken Rifles, What's All The Hoopla?!

    Amazing. I second that. If the display is present next year, I'll do my best to make it. Thank you very much for the photos and information

    Hawken Rifles, What's All The Hoopla?!

    @Grenadier1758 I sure wish I could have been there to see it in person. That is a dandy. Were all the rifles on the same rack as the Atchison originals?

    Hawken Rifles, What's All The Hoopla?!

    Thanks for sharing! So you know who made the Atchison Hawken copy? That's quite the rifle to make a copy of and they did a great job

    Fake Hawken Rifle ?

    Yes @Notchy Bob I happened to find that listing on RIA and thought that might be it. Regarding provenance, is it questionable because there's not physical evidence showing the rifle actually came from Kit Carson? It seems there is no question that it was owned by Theodore Roosevelt. It seems to...

    500 Yards, Stock 1:48 Twist TC Renegade .50 Cal

    Agreed! I'd certainly go but it's a 9 hr drive and not sure if I could convince my wife that th family labor day weekend trip should be to a muzzleloader shoot :)

    500 Yards, Stock 1:48 Twist TC Renegade .50 Cal

    This seems like a great time. I'd love to enter but don't have any sort of a LR muzzleloader. Only a 58 flinter.

    I will give it another week and if it still hasn't shown up I'll cancel the check and mail a new one.

    Flint works loose after multiple shots

    I cut a strip from some old thin leather gloves, putting a couple holes in it to put the screw through and let the flint rest against the screw if needed. I used a fairly worn flint that was shorter and broke on one side of the edge so had to flip it over after a bit of shooting. But I got...

    Flint works loose after multiple shots

    Thanks for your thoughts! No, my lock didn't have that tongue and groove thing in the **** and top jaw. It is a late ketland. I didn't do any machining work on that area. Just files and sandpaper for finishing. The clearance of the bolt in the top jaw is quite sloppy. Lots and lots of room...

    Flint works loose after multiple shots

    Thanks all. I'll try thinner leather first. I've got an old pair of leather gloves that's thinner and the cuff is falling off. A perfect candidate!

    Flint works loose after multiple shots

    I'm certainly not disparaging Chambers. I could have taken too much metal off in certain spots when finishing it. It's just one of those learning curves to work around.

    Flint works loose after multiple shots

    It's a chambers lock... But I wasn't going to do any wailing and tooth gnashing! I figured it's something I did when finishing or wasn't doing correctly in use. Thanks for the replies and advice, all! I'll try getting some thinner leather and putting the flint up against the screw...

    Flint works loose after multiple shots

    Well maybe mine has a slight angle towards the rear but it's extremely minor.

    Flint works loose after multiple shots

    My flint keeps working loose after multiple shots. I even used a graver and raised some teeth in the top jaw so that it grips the leather really well. And I crank the screw down as tight as possible without feeling like I'm going to damage my lock. It is terribly annoying. I have to reset the...

    Study: Hunters Die After Consuming CWD-Infected Venison

    This has nothing to do with an attempt to remove guns or hunting, blah blah blah. Take your tinfoil hats off. It was not even intended to be research, but was just some sort of poster presentation that a med student did and then a news outlet or two got a hold of it and apparently needed a few...
