Sorry Bubba - I think you are on the wrong side of this one. It's not a very big inconvenience - and not everyone who gets taken by a scammer is feeble-minded. I own a retail company - and scammers are getting better and bolder than ever. We can't stop them, but reasonable policies (like this...

What could go wrong?

Glad to hear about the show in Enumclaw! Thanks!

What part of Washington?

No ML activity today - but I did go out with my two sons and got a snow goose with my semi. (I just bought a couple of ML shotguns so next year we'll get some birds with those!)

Great shooting!!

"What did you do today to further the muzzleloading hobby?" Just ran a guy off the forum because he was too proud of his "kit" rifle!

I was fortunate enough to visit Williamsburg a number of times as a youngster (late sixties - early seventies) and I remember watching the craftsman build these incredible firearms. I wonder if I was watching Mr. Gusler! I sure never thought I would watch a video about it fifty years later...

I agree - it starts at home: I have two sons, both about 30. Some of our most memorable hunts have been with muzzle loaders. One of my sons got his first antelope with a .54 Hawken while in his teens. The other son and I had a couple of the most exciting stalks on big game we have ever had -...

I've hunted deer and elk in Griz country with a .54 cal Hawken. Never felt undergunned - until an experience I had in Yellowstone Park while fly fishing. Since that encounter I've continued to carry my .54 for deer and elk. And - I carry bear spray for the off chance of a bad encounter with a...

I'm sorry to hear about Nate. One of my employees lost his mom to Covid last week. I'm pretty sure his family doesn't think of Covid as a scam...

I about ruined a couple of guns when I first put my gunsafe in the garage - not from my choice of oil, etc, but from all the moisture. Once I put the biggest heating rod I could find the problems just about went away. I'm not saying the choice of lubricant isn't important, but in most of the...

Unfortunately, I have found guitars to behave very similarly... Merry Christmas!

What do you use to make your pins? I don't want to go through this exercise again so I'm thinking I should replace the old pin before it has a chance to fail. Thanks! Bill

No doubt! Not only that - if I had spent a little more time with it in the off-season this whole thing might have been avoided!!

Thank you all for your input. I found the exact replacement on ebay of all places. Now the gun is back together and the long wait begins for next season.....

I will admit to only having finished one CVA kit gun, and that was about 40 years ago, but I seem to recall it was pretty easy to cold blue the barrel myself. (And as far as that goes, it still looks okay today.) I'm not suggesting that it would be as nice as sending it out having it blued...

I can actually shoot it pretty well - except in low light. The sights just kind of disappear. (Might be one reason the doc said it was time to start thinking about cataract surgery!) I remember using a fiber optic sight on a compound bow a couple decades ago, and I could sight it until it was...
