Outstanding! What did you use to age the barrel and lock? I really like the finish. I'm working on a full stock Hawken in .62 cal with L&R Hawken lock and would like the finish to be like that. Great finish on the stock also. Back in the 80's I saw a few Cherry Stocks on long rifles that came...

It makes a lot of difference where on the tang or wrist of the rifle the peep site is installed. I installed one on my Hawken but didn't mount on the tang because just setting it on the tang would but my zero at over 100 yds. I moved it down on the wrist and it shoots great at 50 yds. I only use...

:ThankYou: OK, I'm over it. HAH. Glad you had a good trip. The last time I was at that shop was in 1998. That was right before my good friend that built Muzzle Loaders passed away. He and Jesse were great friends and that is who I helped build the two rifles that I mentioned. My friend lived...

Jesse's place is a great shop. Can spend all day there. AND, you were in Wellston, OK and didn't call me and meet for coffee or lunch. :dunno: Probably drove right through the middle of Norman on I35. Jesse has two rifles I helped build after he starting making the parts. A English Snaphaunce...

Looks good to me. Normally you will never see the sparks from the caps in the daylight if you are concentrating on the target. I have two 12 Gauge doubles and I use 80grn 2F, over powder card, wad, over wad card, and my shot measure on the end of a shot bag indicates 1 1/4 oz. and a over shot...

GLW, sent you a Private Message. Great video. Mike

Welcome from Central OK. What part of the Okie state are you from? There are several good Muzzleloading clubs around the central part that have monthly shoots and a few large yearly shoots. One club is near Arcadia, OK at the OKC Gun club and they other is near Tecumseh, OK. You could make a...

I have rendered Bear oil from fat of a nice black bear and most of it is in the refrigerator since 1992 and I have one of those old small baby food jars on my work bench that has been there since 1992, when I rendered the bear fat. I use it for finish on my Osage Selfbows and sometimes on some...

How much for the Beaver Tails? :ghostly: Great looking knife. I really like the neck knife I got from you with the snake skin sheath. I've had to guard it with my life every time I got to a Primitive Archery Gathering. Really like the sheath. On a Beaver Tail note- the guy you told me about that...

A few on the place I have in SW Oklahoma and 80 acres I have to hunt in KS. Flintlock hunting in SW OK and Primitive Archery in KS. Mike

I use a .570 Rapine mold roundball. Had the mold made about 1995. Don't know who makes molds now. Mike

The Rifle Shop is a great place to get parts. Jesse that runs the place has done a great job with getting the old guns you see in the catalog and has the parts made then put them in groups for building your rifle of choice. Right after he got started my friend that helped Jesse get started and I...

Great find and looks like you are doing a great job getting the rifle back in shape for shooting. Nothing wrong with fixing up stuff others didn't take the time to build right. Can't wait to see the results of your restoration. I bet it will be a shooter. I have done a couple that was chopped...

I have a TC Seneca, 45 cal that I picked up in the 80's. It shoots great with a 45 Cal MAXI HUNTER or a Hornady Great Plains but the Hornady is no longer made from what I'm told. I have loaned the Seneca to many friends that wanted their kids to deer hunt. I set up a load, Maxi Hunter, 190- grn...

Do you have the original grips? Mike

I have taken three elk, 2 cow and one small bull with flintlock and pure lead round ball cast by myself. Two of the roundball went through and one stopped against the hide on exit side. It expanded to approx 60 cal after one rib and both lungs. I shoot 90 grains of 3F GOEX in my flintlock. All...

Congratulations. Nice bird and with a smoke pole- I'm thinking about trying my 58 Zouave with shot and wad for turkey. Will have to pattern. Great photos. Mike

Good shooting for using wasp nest material. If you were using good patch material you would probably be making cloverleafs on the nose of old Tony. Nice rifle. Mike

I have fixed several muzzleloaders and about 6 modern firearm stocks with Brownells Stock Pin repair kit and Devcon 2 ton epoxy, slow set and a few clamps and some pieces of leather for clamping. You get everything ready, epoxy mixed, and apply a liberal amount on both pieces to be joined. Clamp...
