    50 cal cva hawkens

    I would scrub the barrel real good and shoot it to see if it still hits where you aim, I would bet it is still in working order. If it is too far gone I would replace the barrel. They come up on the auction site often and can be had for under 100.00.

    Powder Horns, Lets See Them!

    I Made this horn about 15 years ago. It is simple but it holds powder. I’ll have to try a more ornate one sometime. Love seeing y’alls work!

    Those spots sure look small at 25 yds😂! The only one I hit was aiming at a different spot, sure is fun though. Thanks again for doing this. Hunting load of 80 grains FFg GOEX, .530 ball and .018 pillow ticking

    Poll: Will the closing of Goex dissuade you from buying a Flintlock?

    Nope. Have one on order about to start the build at TVM, just about to finish up one of my own making and have 3 more sets of parts to build more. I’m just getting started!

    September 2021 Postal Match

    This was fun! I shot at this one in front of a father and son, who are both Marines, that allow me to hunt on their land. The son commented that he has not even watched a traditional muzzleloader get loaded. First shot went a little low, but sparked their interest. They both wanted to shoot, so...

    Lock malfunctioning.

    It could be as simple as the lock bolt being too long and rubbing the hammer.

    patchbox on a finished gun

    I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t. You would just have to be very careful if you are trying to preserve the original finish.

    Tow fullstock hawken How hard is it?

    A TVM Leman standard kit is 850.00. A lot of the inletting is done (not complete) but leaves enough work to learn on. As said before, a Leman trade rifle is a great first project.

    Ignition woes

    I always lay a Kleenex or light leaf or something over the barrel when I pop a cap to clear the channel. If the Kleenex blows off the barrel its clear of obstructions. Obviously, if there is some obstruction it will not blow off the Kleenex. I have also had better luck with the hot shot nipple...

    SOLD WTS CVA Mountain Rifle

    This is a rare opportunity to own one of the the best rifles CVA ever made and made better by Mr. Hoyt. Good price for a lifetime of enjoyment to boot! I have too many builds already invested in to jump on this one. I’m sure someone will regret not jumping on it.
