Legal standards and insurance industry standards aside, it doesn't have to become something else until she who must be obeyed catches you and calls it a "new" gun.

Came up with this clue to remind that my hunting rifle has been left with a load; thanks to the blessings of the golden years; I was cutting the wrist bands off of my bride last month after bringing her home with her new hip when the idea light came on. These wrist bands are not hc/pc, but they...

My best "one hole" group through a squirrels eye.

Yes; possible. The last rifle I bought that was still loaded had a patched round ball that I removed quite easily (surprise!). Thought I'd just dump the old powder, but no sir, nothing doing. Just got some black crud with the ball puller. No air would pass with mere human lung compression; so I...

MSM has become Cain's Outdoors Inc. They still sell muzzleloading supplies.

Thanks AlanG for your reply. This "Classic" is fairly "bare bones"; it has the screws through pipes system, an L&R lock and double set triggers marked msm inside of a horn; brass furniture; no patchbox or inlays; maple stock that has good enough figure that it must be select or premium select...

I picked up a .50 percussion J.P. Gunstocks rifle that is marked Classic along the top barrel flat. The seller identified it as J.P. McCoy. It looks just like the the J.P. McCoy Squirrel rifle pictured in the magazine ads of the late 80's and 90's. But, those ads never show the muzzle of the...

The last one I sighted in I started at 50 grains which shot a ragged hole for five shots. You could drop down slightly from there for target or small game work or go up to around 65 or 70 grains for a deer load. If it has not been sighted in before it will probably shoot low in relation to your...

More info is needed; if you remove the trigger(s) mechanism from the rifle does the rear trigger set? And, then does the front trigger release? If not there is a screw that can be adjusted. If they do work outside of the rifle, but not when installed, there is probably a problem with how the...

DD, If you would like to discuss nothing I think you should start another thread; now that would be something.....about nothing.

Absolutely not meant as criticism; the look on Jess' face just reminds me of the look I get from my brother when I pull out the camera on a hunt........the look of reluctant acceptance. Keep up the good reports and photos.

Priceless photo; the look on Jess' face beggs for a caption. How about: "Really?......Again with the camera?.........We're burning daylight here.......You know, if I could work that gun myself you and that camera would be home alone right now....Just saying.

I just looked at my .36 Frontier; the distance from the tip of the triggers to the inner face of the guard is shorter than the thickness of the mounting flats that you seek to inlet; so, it would appear to me that to do what you want you would also have to set the trigger plate deeper into the...

Well, this pretty much puts it to rest for me; no swabn'/cleaning the bore with wet wipes; or old socks. I hereby petition the tribe to take up the matter of changing Smokey's handle to "Smokey One Sock".

You could experiment with some popcicle sticks; sanding to thickness; but, I wouldn't glue them in until I tinkered with stain or finish to see how they would match up with your stock. I did this once with a CVA Kentucky at the nose cap that had a similar, but wider gap. It turned out acceptable...

Careful, or you'll catch the woods on fire.

Cowboy, I cann't help myself, I have to say that you are truly a man who has balls.

Looks like the picture associated to Lymans Plains Rifle in the New 2nd Edition of Black Powder Gun Digest (1977). If correct that could fit with Nate's call; pre-InvestArms Lyman.

I have a little ticking material that has red, white, blue and black stripes; it shoots wherever it wants too.

In my experience it is very hard to sell (easily) a CVA Kentucky for more than $125 no matter how nice it is or which ignition system it has. If by chance you had all the parts you would need at no cost and then valued your time at $0 per hour you could complete the job and say that it is worth...
