I have a 62 lehman flinter, 80 grains 2f and a 340 grain ball blows through deer. Most of my hunting is under 75 yds.

I lost the screw-in aperture on my T/C peep, They would not let me buy one, Shipped to me no carge. Great company to deal with.

Dixie gun works used to sell barrels that were bored off center, they told you up front that the muzzle was bored in the middle, but the breech was not correct. there is no way one of them could shoot where it was aimed.

If you are getting just the pan going off, I would look for moisture, or a fouling problem. Is it possible that the liner is sticking to far into the powder chamber, blocking powder? You should be able to see powder in the touch hole. If the priming charge goes off and you can see powder at the...

My first impression is no more than 100 - 150 yrs.old. The slots on the screw heads,inside of the lock, look too uniform, like they were machine made. On old screws, the slots are never that perfectly centered. Only my thoughts.

I had a cracked stock on a pistol. I drilled a couple of small holes, filled them with carpenters glue and pressed a dowl into them. When dry cut off the dowl and sand flush then stain to match. doesnt look great but its strong.

Dixie still has ball-ets listed in their catolouge.

Call Dixie gun works or Track of the Wolf, You may get lucky.

I bought a lifetime licence 3 years ago. $965.00 It includes big game, small game, bow, muzzleloading, and freshwater fishing. It also includes turkey and free doe tags. This is in New York. We now have to pay $10.00 per year for a saltwater stamp, However the lifetime licence is still valid...

I installed a T/C hunter peep on mine. You have to drill one hole in the tang. It makes for a nice long sight radius and looks ok. Not p/c but better than the one that it came with. Then just plug the holes with a short set screw,and put a drop of cold blue on the heads.

The twist will probably determine which projectile you use. It can't shoot all 3 good.

Make sure your bore is spotlessly clean. The preservative that it is shipped with, will cause you fits if not cleaned out prior to the first shot.

Many years ago I built a CVA mountain rifle from a kit. It was the most unreliable gun I ever owned. One day while cleaning it I noticed how small the flash hole passage was when I removed the cleanout screw. I opened it up a little and WOW, different gun. Went off every time. I do not remember...

I have an Investarms, which is identicle to the Cabellas hawkin. I have had it since the early 80's. Mine had a chrome bore .58 cal.1-48, but I replaced the barrel with a 1-60 .54 Green mountain. I also took off the rubber pad and fitted a shotgun style brass butt plate, installed a T/C peep and...

I have a .62 fullstock I bought used, that was coned when I bought it. No negatives about mine. I read an artical in one of the blackpowder magazines a year or so ago that showed a guy coneing with just a round file. He filed off the lands, at the muzzle one at a time utill they were even with...

I can't get firearms anymore. I just mentioned it so you have a ballpark price on the dealers profit.

I used to have an ffl. I still get catologes from the distributers. Wholesale is $339.00 for the .50 or .54 flint kit.

You need to measure again. A .457 ball won't fit in a .447 bore at all.

You want a dark finish? a little tar thinned with turpintine, then a tru-oil finish. I did my rifle with tobacco, a plug of tobacco in about 8 oz. of ammonia, let set 2 weeks, strain and apply. when dry i used 11 coats of tru oil. try it on a scrap peice to see how you like it.

I have the same lock on my rifle. I bought my rifle used and the guy I got it from told me he built it in the mid 80's. It is an L&R late english lock. The recent ones have a waterproof pan.
