Thanks for all the responses. I heard back from Pedersoli and they are sending me the correct sight. Their website and catalog show only a different rear sight with a single adjustable blade for the Kodiak double. I needed the sight a Kodiak Express came with. It will be here next week. I...

He opens in 10 mins so I'll try him. Thanks, Don

Those are the sights but, I don't have the base for them. The double sights on the rifle now are not adjustable so, I would need the complete rear sight that comes assembled. Thanks for your suggestion though. Don

Thanks for responding, NECG has something close but just not close enough. Reards, Don

I have pretty well regulated my 1976 Trail Arms Pedersoli Kodiak but think I can do better. To improve the groups, I need to replace the rear sights. The older Kodiaks came with two rear sights except they are not adjustable. The newer Kodiak sights are but, I can't find a set and I'm waiting...

I started a Jaeger build years ago but got sidetracked along the way. I have decided to sell the unfinished rifle along with a bunch of other muzzle loading items. I'd like to see the rifle go to someone that will finish the project and enjoy it. Done so far is the barrel and lock plus nose cap...

I left out that I was shooting a 490-round ball with pillow ticking patch cut at the muzzle. I have PA Conicals that I want to try next time.

I was finally able to get to the range today for a little while. I took only 6 shots in 2 hours in between conversations with guys I have not seen in a while. However, I have my Kodiak double rifle at a point that the next time out it will be regulated. First, I squared up the sights, then I...

Thank you for your detailed response. These are things that never occurred to me. I have always sighted from a rest at the bench, I'll be back at the range next week with a new perspective and more confidence that I will get this rifle sighted in and ready to hunt. I plan to up the charge to...

I'm in PA and use a .50 cal, Chuck Dixon made flintlock long rifle for the muzzleloader season. The early rifle season is when I would use the Kodiak.

Thanks very much for your response. I think I should get back to the range and do more serious work than I've done to date. I'll find out where each barrel shoots best and go from there with load adjustment. Sights are not the best but will work inside 75 yards or so. Thanks again, Don

I have owned a .50 cal Pedersoli Kodiak for a long time and want to hunt deer with it this season. It functions perfectly but I'm struggling to get it regulated at 50 to 100 yards. It's on paper but the barrels cross at 50 yards by 4 to 5 inches. I use 70 grains of 2F powder in my .50...

Thanks for the replies. Lots of good advice and exactly what I was looking for. Best to all, Don

I have a short barreled (20.5 ") .58 cal Jeager rifle that I want to hunt deer with. It shoots great with 55gr. 2FF Goex powder. The velocity is about 1050fps. Is that enough to knock down a decent sized buck? Patched round ball .570 diameter. I usually hunt with .50 and .54 long rifles but I...

Very nice combo gun you have there. I have a 50x50cal Kodiak double rifle that was shipped to Trail Guns Armory in 1976. Its a 48 twist according to Pedersoli. The only thing I changed was to add a tang sight which helps a lot. I never knew about the possibility of lead in the stock. I think...

Not 3/8", its only about 3/16th in front of the touch hole. Mis-typed my thoughts.

I ground back then filed the breech plug face flat and polished it. I only went back to the threads removing just the "unthreaded" portion of the plug face. Its still about 3/8" inch in front of the touch hole but now has a much smaller and narrower notch. I gently filed it smooth and it only...

Thanks for the information and suggestions, now I better understand my options. My primary concern was safety. I'm comfortable now with the notch and as this will be primarily a hunting rifle for deer, I think I'll leave it as is and not mess with drilling or shortening the breech plug. I'm...

Thanks for the replies, I will try to get pics posted today but maybe I can be clearer in describing the issue. The flash hole is centered properly in the barrel with relation to the center of the flash pan. To make the face of the breach plug even with the flash hole location I would need to...

I have a Getz barrel that has never been fired. I took the breach plug off to look at the rifling and its perfect however, the breach plug has been channeled to the face to accommodate the flash getting to the main charge. The pan is centered and the flash hole is nicely placed. The breach face...
