Ozark Mountain Arms once known for their Hawken rifles also produced the Muskrat, a halfstock .32 to .40 gun.

Thompson Center introduced the "Cleland" Match Hawken rifle as a precision grade .40 caliber cap lock rifle intended for serious target shooter. Of course Thompson Center traditional type muzzleloaders have not been made for several years now and I'm not certain how many Clelands were produced...

Favorite Thompson Center models, huh? .32 Cherokee double set trigger model .50 PA Hunter Carbine .45 Caplock Hawken I've owned or own several other models and/or calibers for models. I still have examples of a few other models around. It's a tough call but these are my favorites. My first...

Wow! A real Rigby, awesome. I'd be curious to know the stats of that beauty.

Exactly why I don't do yard work.

Anymore addicts out there?

So, it's really not my fault?

Hmmm?

Bidenomics, which is much stickier than bar oil.

It might be too late.

This isn't good to hear....

I went looking at the local JoAnn's today. I won't tell you how long I had to wait to get service. Finally, I was able to ask for #40 drill and was told their system showed 1.2 yards in stock but they couldn't find it. After my experience I'm no longer wondering why they may be going out of...

Let me think, posts on balls. There's blue balls, graphite tumbled balls, wrinkled balls, balls with long sprues, balls having voids, and probably a few I've missed in posts here. Yeah, I don't think I'm gonna touch this one. It's enought to make a guy want his balls swaged, it pains me. 😆

At this moment in time my two favorite calibers are .45 and .54. I lean heavily toward percussion guns. I voted for the .45 or less however were I not winding down my hunting, an age thing, I be solid on the .54. I figure for target shooting, including plinking, a .45 caplock would be the right...

I had a .50 WM Carbine rebored to .54 with a roundball twist which has worked to my satisfaction but then it's not a slug shooter, that could be brutal.

Thompson Center used octagon to round barrels on their White Mountain Carbine and PA Hunter Rifle and Carbines. I'm especially fond of the PA Hunter Carbine. There were a couple of other manufacturers offering octagon to round barrels as well. I'm not aware of any current models with this type...

Spectators at the range, how do you handle them? If you're shooting a muzzleloader at a range mostly you deal with spectators. I get them often and I don't mind unless they interrupt me while I'm attending to my gun, especially loading and taking aim to fire. I try to be polite and answer...

Years ago I had a older gentleman, about the age that I am now, who got fairly upset by my smoke. He'd grouse but never made an issue of it. Then they were a couple of guys who used to call me Doctor Smoke, jokingly as far as I could tell. I occasionally get a comment or two but nothing I...

Nice looking and shooting rifle. That really is a pretty gun.
