I use one of those small cast iron ashtrays and a propane stove. Whatever you use, get a piece of plywood to laydown on your work area so you don't scorch something important in case you spill.

I've got one, had it for years and love it. I'm not totally sure of the ball size, I ordered the ball mold when I bought the gun but I'm pretty sure the mold is .65 and with medium patching is easy to thumb start. The accuracy is good for a smoothbore. I won't post pictures cause it was the...

Thanks for all of the replys, I printed them out and talked them over with my buddy yesterday. He's going to check out the things that you've mentioned and hopefully have it ready for a range session next weekend. I'll let you know how it turned out. Thanks again. :hatsoff:

I did have about a pound going, I think I was trying to melt it so I could pour it into smaller chunks. I just shave off what I need now.

I can say the last time I had some bees wax melting in the garage (2-3 months ago) I had about 4-5 bees attracted and come into the garage. With little kids around I shut the operation down. I've never had any bees just "fly in" before.

Danny does a good piece of advertising for them in the latest Muzzleloader Magazine. It's the "On The Game Trail" article. Seems like it would be a fine rifle, he kept mentioning how light it is.

Congrats, I hope to have a similar expierence come Oct.

I think this has been de-bated before but in Russell's journal he talks about a hunt where somebodies "percusion tube" (I think it was tube, but may have been called something different, I don't have it in front of me but for sure percusion) broke. If I remeber correctly the reference was to...

I think it looks like it has some character, you know... Well there I was in a blizzard, witha tornado bearing down and the only thing between me and certin death was this here hat.... :grin:

What does selling a pint of blood to buy a lb of powder fall under..... :rotf: Just kidding, for me it goes in waves, There's been years where I'd head out a couple times of month to trek. There also have been years were I didn't do much of anything. Now if I can get out 4-6 times in a year I...

Thanks for the replys. To clarify my last post let me re-phrase it. I'm not trying to argue with Paul or cast out his thoughts. We found the screws loose once, they were possibly loose from production I'm not sure. After we tightened them they have not come loose again. I thought with the...

The screws have held tight after that initial tightening (it's the first thing we check now). I wondered if the stock fit could be causing issues, but with the screws staying tight I'm not sure.

A buddy of mine has the Blue Ridge in .45. He is having a heck of a time getting it sighted in. It seems the groupings change from session to session or don't really group at all. We noticed once that the screws that hold the barrel in were loose and after tightening them up things dialed in...

I'm with you tg, I try to catch it as well. I'd love to be able to plan for it so I can tape it. I like to put stuff like that one when I'm working on projects for the background. I had to break down and get Jeremiah Johnson and the Mountain Men on DVD cause I wore the tapes out making mocs...

Congratulations!!! Try not to go nuts over there thinking about it. You'll probably have it taken apart and put back together a hundred times in your head by the time you get back! Good luck, Be safe and Thank you for all you're doing.

I'm thinking you might have a pretty good system there, why mess with what works. :rotf: What kind of blade do you have in your saw or does it matter. :hmm:

I agree it is getting samller, but it is also the biggest trade event we have going here. I always try and save up some of my "shopping needs" for the winter nationals so I can try and support the TRADERS who make the effort and trip to come out. As far as the actual shoot goes.... never have...

Welcome aboard Mike! From the pictures in the magazine you do great work. You hit my point on the head. The original builders may have done it by hand with tools that would not have been "specialty" tools.

Thanks Don, Palmetto Arms is it. I found Palmetto's page and they say Dixie carries them but Dixies web site isn't showing them. Guess I'll have to call em. Thanks again.

Anybody have a source for purchasing one of the flinters? I've thought about one of the percs. put a flinter is really what I want.
