This is the one I made from a coin.

I'm looking for the photo. It's been a few years.

This is exactly what I did. After making my own replacement front sight from a Nickle coin.

I agree. I'd start by polishing the counter sink at the muzzle. If sharp the patch fibers get cut at loading.

Willkommen Frank. Meine Familie kam 1750 aus Deutschland.

If after a day of trail hunting you wish you had brought along your grandson to carry the damned thing...it might be too heavy. I have a full stock Hawken in that category.

Research 321 ribs....

Glad to help. I was 33 years in the plastics industry.

They are usually low density poly ethylene. If used as an OP wad I'm concerned they would melt and coat the bore.

I think that particular flint has reached its life expectancy. I have a post here on the forum from a few years ago on resharpening by pressure flaking.

Torque spec on nipples.....OMG :doh:

Got my honeydo assignments caught up in time to take Isaac Haines to the range.

Buff, the peep is adjustable for windage by turning the hinge screw. No need to bend anything.

I suggest the underlying issue is consistent load compression. As with C+B revolvers variation in ram force can result in varying POI. Having said that, Granddad did recommend throwing the rod down when loading a shotgun. He said he could tell by the sound when properly compressed. Tunk, tunk...

Looks like the frizzen is very soft based on the severe gouging.

Keeps the gunk from running down into the ignition area. This has been most helpful on a caplock Hawken where I often had a crud blockage under the nipple.

Storing muzzle down after cleaning has been a very helpful bit of knowledge.

I have used Pecatonica for the last several builds. Absolutely delighted with their stocks.

A lot of truth there. Add in trickery, deceit, disease and false promises.
