    What the heck, rust?

    Go back to your old cleaning methods and graduate to Triple 7.

    Scheels LIMITS Caps?!?

    Yep, you're why they are out of stock now. BTW: I checked all the places that people have mentioned here and they are all out of stock today. I find that to be typical when information is broadcast in mass. I'm thinking the sayings, "keep your powder dry" & "watch your top knot" might have a...

    Just Got My First Muzzle Loader

    Unfortunately, that's not a problem known only to mass produced flintlocks. :(

    Yet another Traditions Kentucky Rifle

    I know what you mean by finally. I'm working on an old CVA Kentucky .45 percussion partial kit combined with a barrel I picked up several years ago. These things always turn out to be more of a project than originally thought.

    Weird Things

    This isn't a hunting story and it's not about my muzzleloader but not for lack of trying... Several years ago, I came across a Pedersoli .45 Kentucky rifle for sale on a social media platform that allows gun sales. The person selling it is in the same state as I am, he wouldn't ship - he...

    October 30 is National Candy Corn Day!

    I'm back! This is my third target posted this month third gun/barrel. I'm in the process of putting together a rifle modeled on the Thompson Center Hawken. I decided to take the barrel out to see how she shoots. Now I can't wait to get started with the project that I started accumulating parts...

    Do you think that modern ML firearms have any investment value?

    Generally speaking they just keep up with inflation so the answer is, it can't hurt. But I have a rule; Never sell a gun. So, the answer in that case is, No. ;)

    October 30 is National Candy Corn Day!

    Welcome back Chris! I've also been AWOL for quite some time but am hoping to get back in the swing of things. I seriously doubt your shooting has suffered much. If I remember correctly, you pretty much always hit what you're aiming at. Bottle caps at 25 yards aren't a problem for you they are...

    October 30 is National Candy Corn Day!

    Gary, this is my second target posted this month but a different gun. You can disregard if the shoot rules don't allow. I've been AWOL for so long I don't remember. This Fall weather is still holding and I just got my lock back from the great folks at L & R Lock Co. I took it out yesterday and...

    Best overall BP question

    Update: Thanks to the great people at L & R Lock company I was able to get my lock looked at, fixed and tuned. The lock now performs flawlessly! After a long day at the range (not complaining :) ) determining that I do not have a lock problem, I started testing Triple 7 and discovered it is...

    October 30 is National Candy Corn Day!

    Gary, The sixth shot ended up just outside the candy corn border at the lower right - red dot. Yes, if I were scoring, I would call it 22.

    October 30 is National Candy Corn Day!

    These glorious Fall days are drawing to an end. I've shot more this Fall than I have for quite some time, maybe ever. Before wrapping up today I decided to post the MLF monthly target and give it a go. It is far from impressive, but these are generally tough targets because they are so small...

    Maven, I have also chased the hypothesis of 'tighter fit equals better accuracy'. Strangely enough, my findings were the same as yours.
