The worse my eyes get, the more I tend to prefer my smoothbores. Apparently having Lasik surgery 22 years ago is doing interesting things to my eyesight now.

And not many people back then smoked PCP and as such really didn't want to be shot.

I have one just like it, yours is the only other one I have seen. Yours has much nicer wood.

Good shooting! Chasing those critters is way harder than going after deer. When you can get them you are doing well.

Well done! I think the whole idea of the bicycle rifle needs to be brought back.

Check with them to see road closures. There is a bunch of it around Roanoke VA and South that is closed due to mud slides.

I had been wondering what he looked like and how old. You imagine a guy with that much knowledge would have to be getting close to 200 or so.

Take care to note the nipples are 1/4-32 thread which is not usual. Fun rifles, and a great buy you got!

Sure looks a lot like this one, but different name. https://www.andrewbottomley.com/a-good-quality-english-flintlock-boxlock-pistol-circa-1800-with-a-screw-off-barrel--folding-trigger-made-by-w-palmer-ref-9213-2355-p.asp

I didn't think we were supposed to talk about subs here, but if it is OK I see this stuff is made by American Pioneer, so should be the same ascorbic acid based powder as Shocky's Gold or regular APP. Simple to use, no bullet lube really needed, and not terribly powerful. Has anybody actually...

My Hoyt rebored Renegade shoots well with 80 - 100 grains of homemade powder. It doesn't seem to care about the exact load so I use 80 for less powder use and recoil. Kills deer and paper just fine.

I have a later Cherokee with a single trigger and it looks just like the bottom rifle. As small as the patent breech and lock are on those there's no way that barrel would fit into a Hawken stock. So, I doubt there can be 1/4" of movement in that barrel. But if it is loose, the first thing to...

I agree, if the Enfield had about an inch more drop at the comb I would consider it the ideal rifle. As is, it is certainly better for shooting prone compared to the Springfield. For offhand I have had to learn to hold it like a shotgun rather than a rifle to make it work.

I think you will find the modern version of that is called Blackhorn 209. No, I don't know if it was ever available in bulk.

Naah, they don't want us shooting at them.

I wonder what they inspected them for? "Yep, looks like a rifle barrel. It's good to go."

The shorty ones do that.

I need to make some with double thickness cups and try them. The single thick ones I make don't work in revolvers. I think I'm loading them too heavy and they blow out the sides instead of firing the charge. They work perfectly on rifles though.

All I would add is to buy your primer mix chemicals from a pyro supply house or even on Amazon, and save a bunch of money. A pound of each one will make a lifetime's supply.
