    Hawken repair question

    Lots of fixes, superglue and sawdust will fix the damaged wood area but needs to be hidden because it isn't the best looking. Remove the damaged wood and replace it with a walnut patch glued in with wood glue. Both of the above fixes will have to be trimmed down with a small chisel to re-inlet...

    Preventing bore rust

    We had an unusually wet spell that lasted for two months, I had used Barricad in all of my B/P guns, when I checked, the every one of them had some light rust in the barrels. Now I swab them with a patch with either Rig or 30wt non detergent motor oil to put them up and haven't seen a speck of...

    TC Hawken

    I put both of my TCs on a diet, there is a lot of extra wood that can be removed. This one has a drop in GM barrel, it is a .54. I reworked the cheekpiece as well. The stock I bought looked good on the outside but was a wreak on the inside with stripped screw holes in the tang and oil...

    Need info on this very old German shotgun

    With a peep sight the gun in the picture is probably a rifle.

    A bit of time with the GPR

    Blown patches bug me even if the rifle is shooting well and yours most definitely is. Your barrel might need the scotch bright treatment to smooth it out a little or a close inspection of the crown. Most of the time I find the crown of my rifles to be a little too sharp and it is cutting the...

    TC Hawken

    I swore off TCs when the last one I bought new had the lock installed with hot melt glue from the factory because of a bad lock inlet, but they have a way to creep back into one's life so I now have 2, a stock .50 from a kit and a .54 with a GM barrel. This was with the .50, round ball and 75...

    Whom Used a Frizzen Stall?

    I have bought a few that were made out of heavy leather, somehow, they got misplaced or lost. Now I use thin leather, cut out the pattern with scissors and glue the edges with Duco cement. I added a few stitches to this one but the Duco is enough to keep it together. Cheap, ugly, 5 minutes to...

    'Bone Hardening' your ramrod

    All human endeavors old wife's tales attached to them, once in place they persist for generations, people swear by them and even get upset if you try to debunk their nonsense.

    Whom Used a Frizzen Stall?

    When I hunt I and am sitting I keep my gun cocked with a frizzen stall in place, it is much easier to flip the stall off than to **** my lock silently with cold fingers, it seems like the older I get the colder my hands and feet stay while hunting. I take the stall off and have my gun on half...

    Thoughts on Browning a Kibler SMR Lock?

    It is a personal choice; Not a Kibler but late Ketland on my TN rifle; I grayed the KIbler I put together, this is early kit with a Chambers Late Ketland lock.

    Nice percussion pistol deer kill

    I thought I had watched all of the Leatherwood Outdoors videos but that one is a new one to me, perhaps it is because it is 11 years old. I like the down to earth, regular guy vibe of the club where they shoot the videos.

    What happened to TOW’s gun kits!?

    It could be that TOW is having a hard time getting enough parts for kits that aren't flawed and were getting some kits back because of this. My last was a secondhand TOW kit, if I had bought it from TOW it would have gone back the day I opened the box.

    What happened to TOW’s gun kits!?

    My first two builds were "kits" that I put together with a stock blank that had the barrel inlet and ramrod hole drilled. I bought all of the other parts wherever I could find them. No flaws in my stock shaping when I got done, I could even add the correct cast off and drop in the stock to fit...

    SOLD - Pending funds Lyman TC .45 Maxi mold with handles

    More estate sale stuff, this is a like new Lyman TC Maxi mold in .45 that casts a 228gr bullet (I weighed one of the bullets). Make your .45 hit like a .54 round ball which weighs around 226gr. There were 6 maxi bullets packed in with the mold, from the looks of the mold, this was probably all...

    SOLD New Old Stock TC .440 mold with handles

    Got it.

    Be advised....

    Walmart in Florence has them. I bought two tins and somehow lost them between the check out and my car, I must have left them in my shopping cart.

    SOLD New Old Stock TC .440 mold with handles

    I bought a box of TC stuff from an estate sale, apparently the old guy had a TC Hawken, many things in the box were for a TC .45. When I opened the mould box, I found a new un-used TC .440 mold still wrapped in the factory cellophane, which I removed. I already have a .440 mold so I don't need...

    Thompson Center New Englander breach plug

    TC sold a breech plug wrench for all of their guns depending on the model, it fit over the breech plug and was turned with a pipe wrench. TC plugs can be ridiculously tight so an extra cheater bar may be in order. The key is not buggering up the outside of the plug with tool marks during the...

    Jugs and Balls?

    I have posted this before. Three shots, 12 ga, jug choked full, 90 gr of 1F, patched .700 ball at 30 yards (I think), as you can tell my fowler doesn't like .690s.
