Changed the sights on my fullstock flint Hawken to a tall rear full buckhorn and tall front silver blade. Now I get to sight it in this week.

Full stock Hawken flintlock, .54 caliber. My Mn deer gun. Have it in Florida with me and gonna try and take a hog.

Minnesota, the northern part of the state where I live produces some big bucks. Deer numbers can fluctuate widely due to harsh winters and wolf predation but We have a 16 day gun season where I use my muzzleloader followed by a 16 day muzzleloader season. Often need snowshoes during the late...

I spend about 6 months over winter in Cedar Key. I brought a couple guns with me this year and plan to hunt the Lower Swannee River Wildlife refuge for hogs this January. I hear there’s a good population of them there. How is the deer hunting in the refuge?

I have the aged finish on my TVM Late Lancaster and really like the look.

Shot my Pedersoli .36 cal LePage. Cleaned up the tarnish from the German silver on my .45 cal Late Lancaster flintlock.

Shot my .45 Late Lancaster flintlock at a black powder shoot at a new club I joined while I’m in Florida for the winter. Good group of shooters and very welcoming to a new comer.

I have the TVM Late Lancaster .45 with a 42” swamped barrel, German silver hardware. Beautiful handling and shooting gun. Put about 30 rounds through it today. Use it as my target gun.

I have a Cook Underhammer and like it a lot. Handles well for me and fun to shoot. I can’t say I’m any more accurate with it vs my other target pistols but that’s me. I’m not a competitive shooter. Just shoot for fun against myself.

We always enjoyed winter but these days we’re spending our winters in Florida. The Lower Swanee River wildlife area has a hog hunt late January. Plan to break out the .54 Hawken by then and try to get one.

After a 7 month (forced) non shooting spell I finally got out and shot a target. Not very good but better than I had expected. .45 cal Late Lancaster flintlock .440 RB with .018 patch and ballistol lube 40 gr Goex OE 3f

Here’s a view of both sides, set and unset

Thanks Red Owl. I was thinking it was set up to work that way as a “target” set trigger but not having any info on its Origen I didn’t know. It sparks well and shoots well. I’ll leave things just as it is and enjoy the gun.

Thanks for the replies. Here’s some answers to the questions and a couple pics. 1. the lock works correctly when out of the pistol. 2. the trigger seems to work smoothly and not binding or floppy. 3. the rear screw adjusts the weight of pull. 4. the front screw, when screwed all the way in, sets...

I picked up this .50 caliber pistol used a while back. I don’t know much about it’s Origen other then it came from an estate sale and has the name “R. Gregg” stamped in extremely small letters on the lock plate. Nicely made and lightly used by it’s previous owner. It only goes into 1/2 cock if I...

Ojibway shoes like T. Hawk says above. Great for getting through thick brush chasing critters or on groomed trails. Stopped using my Alaskans when I got these.

Northern MN on 4 acres about 20 miles north of town. Lake out the front door for fishing. Deer, grouse, bear, and the occasional rabbit out the back door for hunting.

Pedersoli only makes the Le Page flint version in .44 rifled and .45 smooth. Where did you get a .36 flint barrel?

Awful fine pistol not to be shooting it. I have a Hege- Sibor and a Cook Underhammer. I end up alternating which one I shoot, usually at the same range outing. The Sibor is so hard to find I would never part with it.
