I had posted awhile back about my continued mis-fire issues with my Investarms (Hawken style) .54 caliber percussion. So many great responses and awesome information. One of the many things I learned was my gun has an "Ante-Chamber" which as I understand it is part of the manufacturing process...

Thank you for posting this @Phil Coffins. I've often thought of building several of these but have never really looked into how they are made or what it takes. Very easy to make don't take up much room when not set up. Great post and thank you again.

Wow and a half dozen to boot!! I'm sure Old Man Winter is on his way but I'm sure enjoying this fall we're having.

Love your music and style Andrew and I listen to your music just about every day. There is literally not a song of yours that I don't enjoy. Keep up the great work and thank you for all that you do. This was the way I found you and man I'm glad I did.

Where can a guy get nipples for these Investarms guns and is there a source here? I checked the vendors section but didn’t see anything or maybe I missed them? Thank you again everyone - I do appreciate all your help and input.

Great discussion guys and Thank You So Much!! I was unaware of the Ante Chamber in the bottom of these barrels and got a brush to get down in there. Also…the cleaning screw topic…in 20 years of owning this gun, I’ve never taken it out or messed with it until now. I discovered that with it...

I continue to fight misfire issues with my 54 caliber. Years ago I switched out the stock nipple for a “Red Hot Nipple” (I think is what it was called) and had even more misfires so went back to the stock nipple. I noticed the stock nipple hole is off centered. Could this be the cause or any...

Any pictures of the stains?

Thanks Rusty and I am looking for one. I'm not familiar with this site but headed over to check it out. I don't see a classified section...is that something only seen once you register maybe??

Good Deal and Congratulations!! I was unsuccessful for elk this year but blessed to have a buck tag and looking forward to being in the high ups of the Rocky Mountains in September.

Congratulations longcruise on your deer draw and good luck on the upcoming elk draw. I was lucky enough to draw a ML deer tag for the area I've been after so looking forward to seeing if we can't get something done this year. It's a new area for us although we've spent a lot of time up there...

WOW!!! Great Work!!

I would agree with @rp77469 that a 7x7 would be tight for a 6' person. I have a Panther Primitives 12x12 Pyramid that I've used for years and works great hauling it in an '06 Rubicon. If there is a pole on site, I use it in the center with me on one side and gear on the other or even with two...

Another thing I was thinking is the peep sight question really boils down to how accurate you are with it. If you're shooting good with it then go with it. I shoot with the stock sites on mine and when that bull comes screaming in on your call...it really boils down to accuracy. Along with...

Chasing Elk in the high lonesome of Colorado in September Muzzleloader season is one of my favorite things. I think you're smart using a conical as for years I was bound and determined to bring one down with a patched round ball. I shoot a .54 however what I found is my group accuracy went...

On a .54 caliber Cabela's Hawken, is there a way to tighten up the front wedge pin? Last year I started to notice while trekking and hunting, the front wedge pin will now start to work it's way out just from walking and carrying it. Not to the point of falling out but a ways to where it needs...

Good deal and might have to make my way over Saturday afternoon. I know in years past I've picked up some good plunder now and then and always enjoy having a look around and visiting with like minded folks. Good to know about the possibility of maybe participating in a shooting event....might...

Any idea if the general public is allowed to visit the trader's row or is this closed to the general public?

Good Deal @longcruise and glad to see that you are into them and picking up some shots/videos. With doing the OTC archery this year we opened the season up at 10,500 feet with hearing some early morning cows followed by a faint bugle. Followed the sound of the cow calls and we dropped down...

Man what a Bull and Congratulations!!
