    What model of TC is this?

    There isn't much that rifle I'd trust from what I can see... You can buy replacement locks from L&R and double set triggers Track of the Wolf, Muzzleloader Builders Supply, etc... Good choice to run...

    .45 vs .50 vs .54

    I have used all 3... Just my 2 cents... If you plan on using patch and round ball 54 cal , Maxi or Great Plains Ball/Bullet 50 cal, and if your going to embark on a 6 month trek through the wilderness away from civilization and what you carry is what you have for an extended period of time like...

    How long can you keep a flintlock loaded?

    I have had times in my life when an unloaded gun wasn't an option... Even the time when the Kentuck was a territory or region, the time to load your gun wasn't during the initiation of an ambush or a bear bursting through the cabin door... As long as you follow Archer 756 always treat a gun as...

    How long can you keep a flintlock loaded?

    I've have kept them loaded for a week or so without a problem... I had a friend a police officer tell me he had a call one day were he watched a victim bleed out from a flintlock stored behind a seat during hunting season pulled across the carpet and the incident was listed as an accidental...

    Is a 40 round ball sufficient for deer hunting?

    It's a moot point if you can kill a deer with a 40 cal, Daniel Boone I believe used a 42 cal... Because Pennsylvania requires Muzzleloading Rifles to be 44 Cal or larger and Muzzleloading pistols to be 50 Cal or larger. You will not be able to use a 40 Cal on deer in PA... Don't know about Ohio...

    Italian Made Guns

    My Lyman GPR is Laser Engraved Middleton, CONN on top and on side of the Barrel, Made In Italy. It's a great gun for the money and a price point that allows someone to get into Muzzleloaders shoot and experience hunting for some that might not be able to experience. Although Italian...

    Gonna hunt my other night hog spot for this one this weekend

    That makes sense, no two animals see color the same even a variance between individuals. My dad is color blind and can't tell the difference red or green and only knows what traffic is illuminated by order. I'm color deficient and can't see the numbers on 1/3rd of the flash cards but can see...

    Tru Oil?

    The monocle was an extra $5... I just like natural oil finishes topped with a little bees wax... From what I've read there was various finishes put on the long rifles from the semi-secret original Stradivarius type violin finishes(which does come with a free monocle) to oil finishes to ship...

    Tru Oil?

    I'm going to throw a curve ball to everybody... :stir: After living 11 years in Germany I have come across nothing puts better high quality finish on stock than the original Scherell's Schaftol... It gives you a deep soft oil finish that I have never been able to achieve with Linseed or tru...
