Not a Costner fan.

Didn't get to go Wednesday but made it out to the woods for a bit this afternoon. Took the .40 out this time. It's a Cherokee with a Douglas barrel and weighs next to nothing. A pleasure to carry. Saw no squirrels at all but did have four deer pass by pretty close. No dumplins but still a good...

Dont think too long. He's about out of copies. It is well worth the asking price.

Never know when you might need those black rifles. Remember back in 68 when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor. Could happen again any day now...

Finally had a chance to finish this wonderful book today while hanging out with the wife at her Dr appointment. Excellent read. Thanks Ed. I liked all the info but particularly liked the section toward the end about running ball. Good info. I'm sure this book will be reread a time or two more...

When I was much younger and single that would definitely not be too far for a beer run. But these days, yep, just a touch far. 🤣

If nothing goes wonky between now and then I'm thinking about trying again Wednesday morning. Had a good time being in the woods and decided to at least take the opportunity for a little target practice. The little .36 is shooting like a champ. You'll have to tell us how that recipe works out...

Well fellers I finally had the chance to hit the woods for a bit this morning. Beautiful day to be in the squirrel woods. But unfortunately nobody told the squirrels... I did see two. One was on a limb about two feet off the ground maybe 20 feet in front of me. Was getting ready to shoot and he...

Thanks for the post Dave. That helps me out of a small predicament. Craft show season is on us and, just the other day, I was toying with the idea of adding a loop or pocket to the leather tobacco pouches I make and adding a pipe. Thought folks might like that. Found where to buy these little...

Here's one I recently whipped up for my little .36 rifle.

Was considering the other day that, after I hopefully get a couple deer in the freezer, I might give my .40 a try on some of the small doe we have around here. That is as small as I'd go in caliber but, with what I've seen from an accuracy standpoint for that caliber, I was pretty confident...

What Terry said... I find that I prefer soft bags for the same reasons. Just not a fan of a stiff bag unless it is designed to wear on a belt. Shoulder hanging bags seem to serve me better when medium to soft. And soft doesn't mean wimpy. I've made several soft bags that have been put through...

Best wishes to Two Feathers and his family. He's on my list...

Na I got it. Was just mashing your taters a little bit. Besides we all know Conicals and modern ammo are just fads. I don't think they will catch on.

This idea is not too popular amongst some folks. But I had this same problem with a CVA or two and a Traditions in the past. I know, a little different breech design. I took the nipples out and used a drill bit just above the size of the existing hole and drilled the nipples out. Never had...

Best of luck. Looks like you're good to go.

By modern ammunition I thought he meant Conicals...

Factory. Take a look at their website. Pretty decent rifle.

Any idea what time it will wrap up on Saturday? Might be tied up that morning but, if folks are gonna be there later in the day I'd like to try to swing by.

L&R lock company makes locks for CVA and Traditions if you don't already have one. Don't know the price on a flint lock but I'm thinking about getting the cap lock for my CVA Hawken. It's just a couple hundred bucks. Those barrels are good enough to make that new lock worth the investment...
