    CCI # 11 Magnum Cap Not Fitting

    Not a bad idea. I haven’t had any issues until this batch. It was very noticeable between the mag vs non mag tin when shooting.

    CCI # 11 Magnum Cap Not Fitting

    Sensitive topic I see. Thanks for the ideas. I’ll probably check another tin and then waste my time giving cci a call. Definitely not going to file the nipple unless I run out of other caps that fit. I might twist some steel wool around it a few times. The non magnums fit and fired fine, as...

    CCI # 11 Magnum Cap Not Fitting

    I bought several tins of CCI #11 caps (magnum and standard) recently. I have shot the magnums for years off a standard Lyman factory nipple on my gpr with no issues. Friday, I could get the cap on but it took 2-3 strikes to get it to go off. I could tell it was a fit issue since it was a bit...

    SOLD LH Full Stock Hawken Rifle by DG Noble

    Lefty here. Very nice elk gun. If I didn’t just send payment for a righty 58 I’d be all over it. Let me know if you’re passing through Colorado and still have it.

    Stupid Rant….

    I like mine too and have killed two bulls with the percussion one. A wedge pin would not go in on one and I don’t think minor filing would have helped. On the other, after the breech was hooked into the tang, the barrel would not fit into the channel due to misalignment, e.g., hitting one...

    Stupid Rant….

    I have Lyman flint and percussion GPRs and sent the first ones back for each due to fit issues that made the barrel impossible to install as is.

    WB Selb .40 cal Hawken Squirrel Rifle

    I’m at a little under 2.5 years I think. Lefty 58 cal 33” barrel. I emailed with him about a month ago and he said he was waiting on a left hand stock (I checked TOTW and they were all out of stock too). I know covid and parts had an impact. I’m patient but was hoping to have it for next...

    Great plains lefty are available

    Well, in some of the investarms pics there’s a wedge key missing and scratches/incomplete blueing on the under rib. If they can’t even take pics of a well built gun then can they make one? I had to send back both my percussion and flintlock Lyman GPRs when I first got them due to not being...

    Thanks. Good replies by all. I think I’ll go with the 38”. If I want a 42” later, I can get another in a different caliber!

    Barrel length decision help

    I’m ordering an Iron Pennsylvania from Tennessee Valley Muzzleloading. This will be used for hunting elk in the mountains of Colorado and western whitetail in timber. My only other flintlock is a Lyman GPR which has a short 32” barrel. I need your assistance to help me make a decision...

    Loading flintlock for a hunt

    I’m not a completely traditional guy so I take several speed loaders, balls, and pre lubed patches. I also have a cows knee/lock cover I’ll bring and if there’s any chance of rain I’ll take my ultra light gun slicker (nice piece of gear). This will be in the mountains of Colorado so I’ll be...
