    What Muzzleloading Stuff Did You Do Today?

    Beautiful. Can these be raised as pets? She looks like she could use a meal or two.

    SOLD .50 Investarm Hawken, excellent shape, $350. Shipped

    Oh Lord! If an ocean didn't separate us I would buy that off you quick as anything! Prices for such items here are almost at third more than what they are in the US. Even though I only live a days drive from the Investarm factory.

    Thank you, sir! It only cost me 300 Euros, and that was with peep sight! I'm very happy with it.

    A few pics of some of my handmade stuff

    Fantastic stuff. If an ocean and weird shipping rules didn't separate us, I would order some stuff from you!

    Squirrel Hunting and shooting RB into the air.

    I would love to try it! Also to go on a proper hunt, out all day or even weekend with my rifle. France is far better than my native England for that, but still doesn't compete with the US or Canada with their wide open spaces. It would be so nice to try it just the once!

    Squirrel Hunting and shooting RB into the air.

    Thank you for your reply it all makes perfect sense now. I see that Traditions do a .32 Crockett rifle...

    Thank you! That all sounds logical.

    Welcome from France. Your post is very interesting reading. I have experienced the round the clock daylight when I used to have a girlfriend in Finland. Lots of shooters and hunters there, too. I tend not to lube up with my pistols; if the nice little ring develops on loading, I see no point...

    Squirrel Hunting and shooting RB into the air.

    I see from here and on several films that squirrel hunting is very popular in North America. Why is this? There doesn't seem to be much meat on them. Is it a means of pest control, or simply recreation; moving target etc? I'm not asking this judgementally, I'm just curious. Regarding people...

    French powder flask, "poor boy version"

    They are all beautiful things, though. Oh dear... I feel another collection coming on!

    Tom A Hawks Peep Sight Review............

    Hello do you ship to France? If so maybe PM with prices etc?

    Newbie!!!

    Welcome from France. Is your Investarm a flinty or percussion? I have the percussion version in .45.

    Why are my two rifles so different?

    The one on the carpet isn't, I took it myself. Both are percussion - hence the OP being in the percussion rifles section, and both have nipples. The picture of the Investarm is indeed from the internet. I did lazily put a picture of a flintlock in there by mistake, as I hadn't photographed my...

    Why are my two rifles so different?

    Thanks for all your input and ideas, chaps. The breech plug chamber on the Investarm is indeed a smaller diameter than the rest of the barrel. I gave this rifle a thorough clean, and once cleaned I poured some solvent down the barrel - the kind of stuff medics use to dissolve elastoplast glue. I...

    Why are my two rifles so different?

    Thanks for that, Sgt. I will make your recommended modifcations!

    Why are my two rifles so different?

    Translation will be no problem - I live in France, but I am English. I bought the Investarm new, so it's Probably my fault for firing the gun before giving it a preliminary clean. TThank you for your info and patience!

    Why are my two rifles so different?

    Pictured here are my two rifles. One of them: A Jukar .45 plains rifle, about 40 years old. Not one misfire yet after putting about 120 rounds through it, fires consistantly even without swabbing out (on one occasion) and is very accurate. The other one - .45 cal Investarm Hawken rifle...
