Hey there drhilde72. I'm betting you won't get an answer from Fred. If you hold your cursor over his name below his avatar, you'll see he hasn't been on this site since December 26th, 2020. I'm not sure how you can get ahold of him though. It does look like it is/was a good rifle at a good...

Welcome from the east side….

Awesome day! I picked a bunch of pine mushrooms while elk hunting one year. No elk steaks, but man those sautéed matsutakes were good!

Always better safe than sorry. Those extra days waiting will go by fast….though I’m not the one doing the waiting! 😀

I have one too and have done the same "tweaking" to keep it working. There's not too much that can go wrong with them other than new batteries.

Just off-loaded this picture from my phone and thought I'd throw it out here. I made the knife and stand for my newest son-in-law for he and my daughter's wedding back in July. I have a friend who's a knapper and he made the blade out of some obsidian my daughter and son-in-law brought back...

Beautiful gun! Info on the nose cap…did you make it, buy it, difficulty of installation?

Yes, I have both .54 and 12 ga for the same stock. Both work fine and have accounted for a cow elk, whitetail doe, and numerous quail and chukars.

My factory .54 T/C New Englander barrel is 1:48.

Just paid an invoice for 10# of Schuetzen 2f and 3f....should have it in a few days!!

Just spoke with Toby and should have an invoice tomorrow for 10# mixed of 2f and 3f for $234. I think the last time I bought Goex locally (actually about 280 mile round trip) it was $19.99/lb plus tax and the gas to drive there and back. I'd say their price is pretty good in today's market.

👍!!

A little spendy per shot, but here's an option per Driftingrz's thought above: uxcell 15mm Precision Solid Brass Bearing Balls 5pcs: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

Got this one on September 26th, Washington State: Spot and Stalk Mulie

I think the answer to Brokennock's second question might give a little more insight into the problem.

The statement I've always read...."every gun is different", definitely holds true. I've never shot Swiss, though I may have to if the Goex plant doesn't start up again. Also, I was originally a little hesitant to go too much higher with loads due to the relatively thin metal left in this 1"...

It's actually a Thompson Center Hawken with a 1" Green Mountain drop-in barrel that I bought quite a few years ago. The .62's were a smoothbore, but several members, myself included, sent them to Ed Rayl to rifle 1:72. It shoots the .595 ball/.15patch in front of 90gr of 2f Goex very well...

Here's a picture showing where the buck fell, his bed next to the dark shade center right, and where I sat when I shot him just left of the two bushes and right of the single bush at the top of the outcropping. I spotted him bedding down from about a mile away, but even through my spotting...

Just to give you a little taste of what awaits you when your season opens, here's a buck I took with my .62 two Sundays ago. .595 ball with 0.15 patch over 90gr of Goex 2f, though the range was only about 25 yards....Oh yeah, I love your rifle! Not the best shot location, but the ball punched...

It's a green mountain that I had rifled 1:72 by Ed Rayl years ago.
