    Don't know how y'all do it....

    That is an older pic. I ordered a handful of english flints from TOTW. They are a way better flint for sure. Todd

    That still isn't easy to do around my crowd. The howls of laughter start when the flintlock comes out of the case.... Todd

    Don't know how y'all do it....

    Thanks for the great posts. It is pretty easy to do the "is it going to light" trick on myself if I use an iffy flint. One that might light but probably wont. I have no doubt I'm moving a lot after the trigger breaks. Technically it is a flinch but it isn't from fear. I'm only shooting 30-50...

    Don't know how y'all do it....

    If I had to rely on this contraption to put groceries in the house, my whole family would be on a starvation diet! I've been giving my flinter a good college effort here lately... I'm getting good ignition (when I have a good flint) with a solid "click-fiz-bang"..... There honestly isn't...

    CLOSED Lyman Great Plains .54 cal

    The only thing stopping me from purchasing it and the other barrel is total lack of funds.... It will sell. I have a GPR .54 flinter. I'm going to keep it but if I had to count on it to put groceries in the house we'd all be on a starvation diet. Todd

    Leather Over Powder Wads.

    I do a bit of custom leather work and have a huge supply of scrap leather... I'm sure I'm not the only person who has ever thought of using leather for an over powder wad, but it seems to be working well. I bought a cheap Chinese made 14 mm hole punch of the big online retailer and it seems...

    FOR SALE FS: CVA Hawken .50cal

    I’m plenty interested... I’m still in the poor house though. It’s a beautiful rifle. Todd

    Anybody else prefer a 1-48” twist?

    If you read the post, you would see the wad was behind a conical.. I don’t use a felt was with PRB though I have tried it. I like a chunk of hornets nest just to keep the powder lube free. I never liked the idea of putting lube on the powder. Especially for several days at a time during hunting...

    It’s just a standard T/C factory Hawken. Todd

    There may not be very many... but I admire your confidence in speaking for the World Wide Web.

    Anybody else prefer a 1-48” twist?

    I do. I like to shoot PRB’s but I like to hunt with conicals. Being a hunter that likes to shoot, I really like the standard 1-48” twist. I recently got into casting and I’ve really enjoyed making my own bullet/ball fodder. The balls actually seem more accurate than store bought balls. Maybe...

    Is It Just Me?

    We are all in this together. Do you and what you enjoy. If something bothers you, ignore it. No need to look down your nose and speak with a fake British accent about it. I’m in the market for a new .50. I’ve found a few in my price range with holes drilled in the barrel. I chose to pass on...
