It was so easy it was scary! I've told people this and I can see the disblief in their eyes. But... I promise this is true. :thumbsup: The first time I brought it to the range I had decided to start at 30gr of FFF just to see where it printed on paper. I put the target out to about 40...

Hi Mac, I believe it would have been an upgrade, but I bought it used. It really didn't look used though! I love it! Its very accurate and I can shoot it all day for next to nothing.

Mac, good deal! I'll be interested to see the progress so please post any when you can. Let me know when you get the kit and what you think of it out the box. I'm excited for you! :hatsoff:

Jerry, I have that CVA .32 and a .36 flintlock long rifle. For me I love the long rifle. Like I said the CVA is very accurate but the long rifle is accurate at longer distances. Most likely because it has a 42" barrel. That plus a little heavier bullet. Dunno.... It's a toss up but if...

I still have mine that I built in the early 80's. I haven't shot it in a while, but it is very accurate. As someone said, it shoot like a .22lr... sounds like one too!

Here is my TVM Southern flint .36

BigBuckEye, go for the TVM.... You will love it. I bought mine used but wouldn't hesitate to buy from him new. I talked about mine here: http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/293154/post/1460004/hl//fromsearch/1/ Since that post I've shot it several times. It's not...

What about the stainless range rods TOW sells? I'm guessing brass may still be better for the bore since its softer.....

I own and shoot both the 1860 colt and 1858 Remington. Personally I prefer the 1860. It feels better and I like the way it looks better than then the Remington. All personal preference. I will say that the 1858 is easier to shoot right out the box. The 1860's take a bit of work to be totally...

Good deal, a great shooter, a keeper and a fine looking piece! :bow: Can't get any better than that! Makes me want a new flintlock pistol.... I hate when I start getting those feelings. :hmm:

Thank much! Great info! I appreciate it.

Thanks for all the help! Wasn't really sure how to go about doing this.

I'm shooting a .32 cal with about a 42" barrel. I'm getting lots of ideas here... so thanks to all! Now I just need to get up off my duff and make a pair. :grin:

I just finished making my first ramrod which isn't as easy as I thought..... :wink: after this one, the next will be a bit easier. I bought the blank and tip from TOW. Anyway to my question.... What do you use for the pin? I thought of a piece of a paper clip cut and glued in then filed...

The toothpick trick is the best. I've used it many times and it works great. Put some wood glue on the toothpick and push it in the hole. Wait for it to dry then just put the screw in. No need to drill anything.

Spence, that's much for the photos! Like they say... worth a thousand words. :wink:

ahhh.... ok so I'll have to check that. Mostly this is for fun but there may be some competition involved as well.

Of course Easy Peasy! I always put way to much thought into a project.... :hmm: Thank you!

I have some ideas on making some but I'd like to hear from you guys that have made them. Photos too if you have them. I know I can buy them but I'd rather make it. I suppose the thing I'm really confused at is what can I use as short spikes in the end to put it in the ground? Nails? Thanks...

Mike, great video as usual! I was following some of your problems with the gun club... what a mess but it seems to have worked out... although more work for you. I've been looking at the Full30 web site for a couple days. Looks pretty nice. Are you going to start putting your stuff there now...
