    extra capped cylinder

    the Remington is NOT built like a colt, a key reason to own the remington over the colt was rapid cylinder changes, and was designed acordingly. not as a military weapon, but civilion, the army issued colts, if you wanted a remington, you had to buy it. the caps are recessed below the back of...

    CVA lock question

    I have a CVA Mountain Rifle, which uses the same triggers, the screws are metric, but most specialty bolt stores have them and you could easily buy a shorter one. mine sticks down as well, but so do the ones on my L&R triggers. they do not bother me at sll, but I did file the head and becel the...

    Flintlock Squirrel Rifle?

    I have a .32 caliber its a tack driver. it zaps jackrabbits and gophers regularly and as long as there are no high winds I have no complaints. fouling is no issue with the barrel nor is the ramrod size, I heve not broken or damaged a ramrod and I can shoot it all day with out cleaning or...

    Full **** not engaging

    the little bar that sticks into the kole in the stock is the sear arm, it is lifted up by the trigger bar, as you pull the trigger back, it pivots on a pin and the flat part that rises up pushes on the sear arm. if the trigger pushes on that sear before pulling the trigger yhe sear will not...

    Full **** not engaging

    the trigger bar it Too high. the sear must be in a different position due to tuning, remove metal SLOWLY from the trigger bar where it contacts the sear until it will **** properly.

    Patch thickness &RB Dia VS Cal. & Rifling depth

    I have cleaned up sone .490 and .440 round balls recovered from deer and inspected them closely. the ones I have recovered had the weave pattern of the patch imprinted on the powder side of the ball, but it looked very round, I did not measure it. the impact side was badly deformed, and were...

    Patch thickness &RB Dia VS Cal. & Rifling depth

    I agree with you, adding another useless component to a prb load is simply adding another variable to the mix and offers no return an op wad or cussion under shot, sure, helps with shot deformation, but under a prb? what benefit is there? the "KISS" principle is always the best way to go.

    Ramrod use

    wanna kill a bar, instead of 2 balls that may, or may not wind up where you are pointing, try a bigger ball, like a .58 or a .62. they get very angry when you wound them.

    Trouble Hitting Target

    its OK, the bunnies and gophers promised not to report me! besides, they are too busy trying to get out of my way. I am sure they would whine about the way I load my musket too, tear open the cartridge and pour some powder in the pan, close the frizzen THEN pour in the main charge and ram the...

    Trouble Hitting Target

    I thought everyone loaded a single shot pistol by placing the butt against the inguinal area of the groin or thigh and rammed the ball down with the muzzle away from you.

    geese are easy, catch them falling from the sky after smacking them with an ounce and a half of BBs and skewer them. try bayonetting those pesky bunnies, no matter what you do they won't hold still

    Competetion Shooting

    is competitive shooting worth it? depends on what you want to get out of it, you will meet a lot of really good guys and gals, most willing to help you, if you are wanting to be any near the front of the pack, then you will need experience, hard work and patience, and, I can not stress this...

    Trouble Hitting Target

    I have a CVA Mountain pistol, it is VERY accurate. I can easily hit pop cans at 50 yards. if yours is not shooting straight, you should look for something grossly wrong. I have shot 25 to 50 gr of ffg, .490 and .495 balls as long as they are tight going down, groups were tight on paper.
