Shooting off hand is tough. No matter how easy Hickock45 makes it seem. Something that might help is sight picture. Instead of trying to hold it dead still, instead do a very small figure 8 across the target. With the center of the 8 being the target as you squeeze the trigger. I haven't...

Replaced the factory wide V sight on the Renegage with a buckhorn. Have to wait until Friday to see if any adjustments are needed.

My .40 SMR has been on order for a couple of weeks. If there was a fowler kit available, it would be on order as well. :)

All done, just waiting on the buckhorn rear sight to arrive. Will surely be able to send some balls through it this weekend.

Added what should be the final coat of Tried and True to the Renegade stock. Just need to re black the metal bits and install a new rear sight and this project will be done.

My understanding is it is a general term. Smooth bore guns, elegant and easily wielded, smaller smooth bores , designed for hunting were fowlers. Larger bore, heavier built, destined for military use were muskets.

The leather pad lives on it, never comes off. For LOP increase more than recoil. And I had oak on hand already. Sturdy hard wood. Function over form.

Ordered tools, flints, and finishing stuff to get ready for SMR kit when it eventually comes.

I use it liberally for black powder gun cleanup. Seems to do a fine job in removing powder residue. Cut it with water and scrub away. Also makes a good cologne. :)

ErasGone sells a 44 English Kerr mold. These fit fine in my Uberti 1858. 25 grains of powder, wad, bullet. https://erasgonebullets.webstarts.com/store/product/-44-english-kerr-

Looks like a nice clean rifle. I bet it will bring you many years of use.

Hot dang, that is awesome.

Well done dad. Fantastic.

Y'all tempting me with so many pretties. Stop it already. Nice looking rifle. I like it, a lot.

Exactly. Folks do it as they have done until an issue happens. Or maybe they are tinkering with accuracy or other fine tuning. Then they adjust. I am a firm beliver that there needs to be a barrier (other than the ball) between the powder and the air. Tried grease on top of ball and for me...

You are welcome. I know because I almost ordered that same rifle last weekend. Came darn close. :)

This appears in stock at Abe's https://abes-general-store-co.myshopify.com/products/pedersoli-frontier-rifle-54-cal-flintlock

Finished the butt stock extension to increase LOP and mounted plate. Leather wrapped pad will be used as well so the colors won’t be visible. 2 coats of medium walnut Danish oil added. Will work on final finish and re assemble this weekend. Won’t be real fancy but will be serviceable.

Was browsing and noticed Track of the Wolf has 1 TC Hawken available. 50 caliber, percussion $429. Seems like a good deal in case someone is looking. Am sure it will go fast. https://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/PartDetail.aspx/492/1/AAT-992
