    SOLD Nice Stock, Unadorned. 50 CVA Mountain Rifle

    I used to go to matches with a guy that had a CVA like this, the accuracy was amazing and put many of us with more expensive guns to shame.

    Traditions .32 Crockett squirrel rifle question.

    I missed the second part of your post. I love my Crockett and I don't think there is much of a negative comment on the forum about them. At the right price it should move fast.

    Traditions .32 Crockett squirrel rifle question.

    They sell for around $500 or a little more new. The last gun I bought cost around $50 to have shipped and insured. If I were a buyer for your gun, I wouldn't want to pay more than $400 + shipping tops. If I was selling I would probably ask $350.-$375.+ shipping. I would price it that way so it...

    Cleaning between shots

    There is a simple solution to your problem. Move to Michigan😁 We have a 5 squirrel limit and at least in my area, we don't have many squirrels this year. That gives a person lots of time to clean between shots.

    Cleaning between shots

    I almost forgot. I have experienced sticking problems from using too large a patch on the ball. I am not talking too thick a patch but one that is too big in diameter. This would often stick my short starter and sometimes the ram rod. I had this problem with the 32 caliber.

    Cleaning between shots

    I use a jag one size smaller than the caliber I am using ( i.e. 50 jag in 54). This requires using a double cleaning patch when cleaning the gun after the match. Loading with the smaller jag works fine. I have also had good luck pushing the patched ball down when loading with a wet (soap...

    Sugar and The Jitters

    My hat is off to you if you can hit a soda can at 75 yards on a regular basis. That is good shooting for any old timer regardless of whatever other health issues are present. Maybe if I eat carefully there’s hope for me after all.

    SOLD Navy Arms Pietta SxS 12 gauge

    It is a real plus when a smooth bore isn't choked. Maybe you lose a little distance when shooting a straight barrel rather than a choked one but shooting becomes a pleasure instead of a pain!

    Different Ball Bag

    Make a note telling the details of what was used to make the bag and when it was made. Put the note with your will or other important papers. When you pass, the bag could be passed down to others as a keepsake, even if they aren't shooters. Those of you who craft guns and accessories would be...

    FFG vs FFFG

    I had a couple of cans of black powder that got put in a damp garage when I moved. The storage was cold and damp in the winter and blazing hot some times in the summer. All in all, the powder has been stored under poor conditions for at least 20 years. I got back into muzzle loading this last...

    Austin Halleck flash hole thread size?

    I contacted TOW and they knew the vent size I need-5-.8mm. They are out of stock right now. The gun is new to me and I haven't shot it yet.To look at it the vent liner appears to be new. My concern is that I don't want it to get stuck. I went through my screw drivers until I found one that fit...

    Finally got the opportunity to shoot my Crocket Squirrel Rifle…..

    I usually hear about Crockett shooting right on out of the box. Sometimes, there is talk of filing the front sight to bring the poi up. But, mine like yours shoots too high. Someone on the forum was kind enough to give me a formula to help with filing the rear sight. Distance to target=25...
