Slixshot is the best! I’ve been shooting a set of them on a pair of 1860s I have for a few years…. Made all the difference in the world.

this is just me personally…. Before the internet people just did what they did. I’ve used wheel weights…. And just about anything that would melt. Never had an issue…. Ever. Now the internet says don’t. And I’m absolutely not saying for good reason. And now I use pure lead when I can find...

It’s ridiculous if people pay that. It’s not that hard to find at regular prices. I have my email address with Grafs to let me know when BP is in stock. I got an email maybe three days ago and sure enough everything was in stock. You just have to be proactive now. The problem is not...

Really well done! I’m thinking of adding one of his colonial rifles in cherry to my stash. Everything else I have is maple. Yours just pushed me over the edge. I saw someone else had asked about finishing but didn’t see a response. I’d like to know what you used as well. thanks for the post!

Wow! That short starter is nice!!

I’ve been following along with your build. You're doing an awesome job! It’s really looking nice!

i was about to say the same thing. I think a number of us here and probably others contacted him. He changed the description to say it was a repro. More then just the serial number. It was just too new. If that was original he would have had a gold mine on his hands. I’m sure he wasn’t...

binding even in the case of fraud? Meaning you feel obligated to send money anyway? Were you just after the revolver if it was original? BTW... I asked him a similar question but haven’t heard back.

I’d ask for better photos. the top of the barrel and under the rammer as Nit Wit mentioned Looking for any writing. the price as it is now is probably not bad for a Colt repro with the stock. But if he’s selling as an original.... that’s a bit sketchy Looks too new including the cones...

I built three CVA rifles back in the late 70s early 80s. I’m sure they are beech wood stocks. The only photo of them I have at the moment is of them on the rack. Top three... .32 squirrel, .58 mountain, .45 Kentucky flintlock . the bottom is a TVM .36 flintlock in maple. at the time I think...

Sounds like you’ve got a boat load of info from the great folks on this forum! I saw someone had mentioned calling Jim. He is just a phone call or email away from any further help you may need. He’s a great guy with a ton of info on his rifles. He may not answer right away but he will get...

you know this because?

Ive been seeing a lot of folks saying to lie on the form. I’m not sure what that would get you but it seems it will NOT get you the gun and likely be prohibited from buying any weapon from Cabelas again. how can you lie on the form when at the same time yours filling it out they are looking...

I’m trying to look at it with a glass half full attitude. I say try.... ha! but so far this to me isn’t any different then years past. Every election people start to panic buy or like someone said before me.... buy just to try and turn a huge profit. Then it evens out. Yeah it’s going to...

thanks for the info! So it looks like I may need to buy another .58 mold anyway if I went that route. You’re using .570. The mold ive been using for years for my Mountain rifle is .575

Sorry for resurrecting an older post. I’m thinking of getting one like this in .58 also. I have a Hawkin style in .58 so I have molds etc. But thinking about getting cherry wood for the stock. i was wondering how the trigger is being a single instead of a set type. My otter rifles are all...

Thanks for posting your progress. It’s an amazing looking rifle! I really want to get one of his Colonial rifles. I’ve been trying to decide which caliber snd wood type. I’m was thinking. The maple but I’ve got several rifles in maple and saw someone’s rifle in cherry and really liked the way...

I wish there were local places around me to by BP and supplies. Years back there were. Pretty much any gun store around had real BP. Now I have to order it. The last time it was with a few others I shoot with which is fine. BTW... I’m in south East Louisiana if anyone happens to know of a...

I’ve been watching this baby be born on Facebook as you posted the progression each day! What a labor of love!! Absolute great work! I’m going to order a Colonial soon.... not sure when. Probably .58 next we need a range report!

I love my .36 TVM flintlock. Very accurate and cheap to shoot all day.
