need to get the cabin creek 's🎼, Brad and Shane to instruct you they are the Stravatos 🎻of lock tuning all my locks visit them to get tuned up(and they make great music bang bang)

try tallow (mutton works great doesn't go rancid) lard without the salt

unless they are rounded you should be able to pressure flake a new sharp edge using an antler or copper wire to push off micro flakesthe leather on wood is to help hold the flint while pressure flaking if you watch the below you will see how I knap a new edge (and some fun shooting)

I put one in my grandson's rifle and had Brad at Cabin creek fix/tune it he stated that it had a lot to fix cost more than the lock ,my Chambers locks are much better out of the box !Brad Tunes those locks for 1/3 the cost of the L&R 01 replacement No more kit guns or L&R for me

yes, the faster the better ! a much younger me with a nice buckif temp 40 or below let it hang with body cavity open to cool overnight then skin butcher, if over 40 skin and butcher same day of kill, right after the photo

the other thing to try (for green mountain barrels) is to smooth out the cut rifling (suggested to me by Mr Dixon) 50-100 strokes of fine steel wool w oil did wounders for a couple of my rifles(see if patches are getting cuts)went from this to thissame rifle after smoothing out rifling and load...

if you're having trouble with the sights try a simple peep sight to co witness your open sights (cause you to mount the rifle the same every time) then you can remove after working up loads if you want tothis one was made from an old dog lic,

try a thicker patch 10oz denim and a good lube I'm betting 70-80- grains of3 f swiss ( or 80-90 goex) will group use a good bench and rest to work up the load then try off hand top is 1st clean barrel then three touching ,then moved sights to hit aim point

if you build a bench make it tall, so you don't need to hunch over your rifle (seated). it should let you shoot in a position more like standing/hunting target/game, with open sights your cheek weld matters , if you change your mount/cheek position your sight in will/might be off. the problem...

soon hope to be there friday :thumb:

you can a you can do a faux butt plate (Allen Martin inspired) and brown the barrel without changing much

do you want a shooter or a looker ? right now you have said it's a real great shooter, are you willing to risk messing that up with a possible change in length of pull or balance . sounds like a true poor boy/Shimmel that's a dream to shoot . But it's yours do what you want , targets are more...

CALL Jim explain what happened and see if he will "help" you

yup Mr Hoyt

I've been to his shop (more than once)and if you don't get HIM before the machines start you must leave a message . HE IS A MASTER CRAFTSMAN , and a fine person he will give you an honest opinion, a great barrel at more than fair price. He is very busy but will always make time for you when...

why not ask Brad Cabin creek for his advise and he will be at the 18th cent. show (all my locks get his tune up well worth the money)

lock included?

just order a new stock and drive on

try loading with your touch hole /vent hole pick in the hole while loading maintains a clear vent( a feather will also work) use the pick every shot
