    Recreating the American LongRifle

    Going to buy this book, as usual I look for used copies, no need in paying full price, was wondering if the newer revised additions where worth paying a little more for, or are the ones printed in 83 just as good, thanks Gary

    .54 Drop in Barrels for T/C Hawken. ?

    A T/C Hawkens use a 15/16" barrel for 45 and 50 cal then goes to a 1" on 54 cal, so if you have a smaller cal a 54 cal won't work with your stock

    Stuck Nipple

    If its rusted bad enough you will break it with to much force, as already stated plug the nipple and fill the bottom of the barrel with a penetrating oil, if you do break it, us an easy out like they use when removing broken bolts, if you strip that out then you have to drill it and retap to a...

    The effect of barrel length

    Using a wet phone book that has sat in water for a couple of days, then shot at right after removing from the water has shown to closely match ballistic gel and would be a better option than a piece of wood, it takes way more energy to pass through a 2x4 than a lung shot on a deer,

    Brain tan vs Chrome vs Veg

    Thanks for the response, are there any risk in wearing a chemically tanned garment next to your skin, absorbing the chemicals from wearing, I’ve read brain tanned breaths better than chrome and is not as hot

    First Time. TC Hawken

    Reason for the shape on the end of the cleaning jag is it fits the concave shape of the inside of the breech plug on a T/C ML, once you run it down the barrel you can rotate it to help clean the bottom of the breech plug, I've seen a lot of ML where people clean the barrel but not the breech...
