Outstanding. Nice deer and rifle. You did a great job on the photo. Mike

Where are you hunting Elk? I know that Colorado used to require .54. I had been hunting Elk in CO with longbow for years and finally drew a Muzzleloading tag. I read more rules and found I had to use .54. I had built a .50 flintlock longrifle with Green Mountain 42" , 1-60 twist a few years...

I have been using Kaido Conical Bullets for years in my Ruger Old Army. They are made with the base about .010 less diameter than the driving band on the bullets. You can Goggle Kaido bullets and read all about them and a lot of videos about his bullets. There is a post on this sight- ROA and...

What state do you reside? I couldn't stand to see that shipped if purchased. + :)

I talked with Robert about three weeks back and he said if I sent him my .54 barrel to be bored to a .62 cal, it would be around April or May before I would get it back. I'm going to send it to him around April, after touching base with him. Mie

I have been using the recipe for 45 years. I use it for lube on patches when shooting competition and for cleaning. In a gallon jug: 1 Cup of Ammonia 1 Cup of 409 multi purpose cleaner 1 Cup of Water Soluble Cutting Oil- like in lathes or band saws finish off filing with water, shake and use...

I have been using the EyePal device the poster has on his glasses for years. Here is a link to get the EyePal to stick on shooting glasses to improve your sight picture. I have been using these for years, by different makers but all work the same when I was shooting Bullseye pistol matches and...

Great story. Congratulations on the Elk. Very nice rifle.

Welcome to the forum. Used to be a lot of Black Powder shooters and matches up in that area. Shot at the John Zinc Ranch and Club shoots for years. You will find a lot of good info here. Mike- Norman, OK

Nice job on the build. I like the looks of the barrel and stock. I started in 1974 with a TC Kit Hawken in .50 cal. I can't remember it having a K on the barrel but that was a long time back. I shot it about 3 years and probably about 1000 rounds while hunting, playing and some black powder...

I joined the NMLRA in 1976 when I went to my first big match at a vendor's table. Been a member since.

Welcome from Central Oklahoma.

On my Zouave, I drilled a small hole on the back site, left of the notch and right on top of the folding leaf screw and then I took off the factory front, soldered and new taller front site, same shape as original. Meets all rules that I have run up against in matches and with Lee Minnie hollow...

I have decided to call him this week. I have a .54 Hawken I built about 30 years back, that still shoots lights out but I have several .54's. I want to find out if he can bore and rifle the barrel to .62 cal. The barrel is 1 1/8" at the flats, 36" long, an old Bill Large XXX stamped on it, if my...

My best friend pass away two years back and when his wife tried to get into the safe, no go. She needed some of his military papers and insurance papers he had stashed in the safe. Her brother and nephew jacked with it for an hour. No go. She called me and when she told me they had been jacking...

Hope you do well this hunting season with your Hawken/Dot sight. Many years back some of my friends from work lived and hunted in Arkansas with muzzleloaders and they were getting "OLD", bad eye sight. The state of AR finally folded to the numbers and allowed a scope on muzzleloaders but they...

Jimmy, there is a club around Iowa Park/Electra TX called Red River Renegades. Look them up on google or Facebook. I have been shooting with them since the late 70's. I missed the last few years but will be returning from Central Oklahoma this fall if they have the shoot. They have a very nice...

Very nice shotgun. Good find and I really liked the story. I need to get my Side x Side 12 gauge Pedersoli out and shoot more. I would say you might have a weak hammer spring. One of my hammers were going back to half cock when firing 80grn of 2F and an ounce of #8's which is my best load in my...

Here is one of my favorite photos of Ron. Got this from him a few years back. We talked a lot on line about the Shrew bow I had purchased used and my trade rifle I hunted with . Miike
