I enjoy talking with the owner and one of her gunsmiths that comes to Friendship for the fall shoot. They have a booth set up just down from their little store booth on the end with a variety of locks and parts.

I used to have an H&A pistol in 45. A person I met at a rendezvous had the same rifle as the one pictured, I mentioned I had the mate to his rifle and he wanted it in the worst way. I sold it to him for $225. I felt it was going to a perfect home.

Leather should be easy to find, old work gloves, shoes from a second hand store.

I have a full to the lid of Pyrodex P and a partial of Select FFG that I bought in 1993 all still good.

I know a someone who can make you one, he builds period fowlers. I was looking for a Revolutionary war period fowler carried by an American Also my target at 50 yards offhand. He lives in West Michigan, let me know if you want his info.

It was $24 per. That was the NMLRA price, it will probably be at or less that through other suppliers.

For shooting matches with my Kibler SMR, 35gr of Goex 3f, .395 ball and a simple green and water lubed .018 patch works perfect at 25 and 50 yds. 100 yrds I have to use a 55gr to put the balls in the scoring rings.

Your rifle turned out beautiful. Eventually I will turn my full attention to my 54 Woodsrunner, still unfinished since April, it's been a busy rendezvous season for me.

I bought 6 lbs of it at Friendship, IN during the fall nationals, a truck showed up on the Friday opener with 1800 lbs. Saturday they announced it was for sale. It shoots the same as my old stuff.

Congratulations!

I'll bet the postal workers run when they see you coming. 😅

I'm sure someone will connect with you that lives near your neck of the woods.

Wait on the mold, my trade gun likes .600 balls and a .022 patch, on the other hand, my buddies trade gun like .595 balls and a .014 patch, he can shoot .600's and a .010 patch but he has to beat them in with a mallet.

Shooting high is its own problem, when it is impacting low, you can file a little off of your front sight blade and that will raise your impact. You may need a new front sight blade to get you zero'd in.

Welcome from Muskegon county.

My TC 50 Hawken and TC 58 Big Boar work great with Triple 7 3F and regular CCI caps. My TC Cougar however does not fully ignite the powder, I get some weird turbo charger effect, it's funny actually, but it works great with real black powder.
