i was 16yo or so, in PA flintlock hunting season. i was going to my stand by some railroad tracks. i was about 100 yards away from my stand, when what i thought was deer showed up in the brush. the "deer" was slowly moving the brush to a spot that i could shoot it. i could see a piece of brown...

altho i never even heard of a over powder patch, i will try it. i have shot about 4 or 5 FL rifles and the patches that i have shot can be used again, but i don't do it.

as far as the orange goes, it should be mandated thru all seasons. but it isn't, so you will find me wearing orange in all seasons. i either wear my camo orange vest or camo orange coat with a camo orange hat. i use UV Killer and Sports Wash (no scent, no UV) on my hunting clothes, except...

thanks!!!

i have a CVA Hawken left handed FL and while i can do 2 shots with a ,010" patch with a round ball, i have to clean the barrel when i do the next shot. when i shoot a .005" patch with a RB, it will shoot 12 times. it could go further than 12 shots, but 12 is all i did. i can't get down a .015"...

i got this rifle a couple of years ago at an auction. i paid around $120 for a CVA Hawkens left hand flintlock in 50 cal. it also has a flint that is 5/8" x 3/4". the FL has a 2 screw patch box. i was wondering what year it is? Connecticut Valley Arms, Inc made in Spain black powder only...

ummpphh!!!!!! i can do that at 1000 yards!!!!!!!! 🤪 🤪 🤪 if i was that good with a smokepole and rock and a rest, i'd be braggin this one too!!!! good shooting!!!!!!!

a couple of years ago, i bought a cva lh fl hawkens in 50 cal that had surface rust in the bore. i cleaned it(hot water and soap) and i've shot about 400-500 times. it will last me a lifetime. the only thig bad about it, is the patches, .005 or .010" . when i go .010" it only shoots 3 or 4...

i guess you would be using the .75 for squirrels? 🤪🤪🤪

i would jim evans method. try it for few days, before breech plug. if you are like me, like dropping things, breaks screws, mars finish...... take it to a gunsmith.

lite taps in kroil for several days. when the touch hole liner is pulled out, you put in a new one and you use never seize. Amazon.com: Never-Seez NSBT-8 Silver Gray Regular Grade Anti-Seize Compound, 8 fl. oz. Brush Top Can : Automotive

the touch hole stays the same, the long breech "hole" is drilled out a little bit more. if its going 1/2" breech hole, he will use 5/16" drill bit.

my dad does that, but it still hang fired. on another note, my dad has drilled the breech plug out to fit his 2f. it still hang fires, but its more like fzizboom.

my dad bought his abortion of a gun too. he tried pyrodex pellets, goex 4f and a modern conical from CVA and he found that hangfire should be the abortion's name. next time he fired it, i was there. he poured in 80gr of goex 2f and goex 4f was put into the pan. i heard the hangfire several...

i found mine at an auction last year for $125. left hand cva hawken fl in 50 cal. the inside of the barrel had surface rust, but i cleaned it up. it shoots great.

i used goex 2f in my barrel and in the pan goes goex 4f, but when thats done, i'm going to try 3f either scheuten or swiss. i have 3/4 lb of goex 4f and that will last years.

do you use water or dry?

years ago, i had a german agate flint that just luvs to make sparks. i'd guess that it would go 200 times and up? i had to replace the frizzen because the agate was too hard.
