Congrats on a beautiful bird :hatsoff:

62 cal smooth rifle I finished last fall with its first October 2014 buck. I'm turkey hunting with it at the moment but to no avail. If this weekend is successful I will post in the hunting forum

I really enjoyed your work. Classy and not over the top. Enjoyed the fact that you showed a realistic hunt that didn't involve thousands of dollars spent on trophies that are out of the average mans reach. Well done :hatsoff:

Beautiful buck and rifle, congratulations :hatsoff:

I know you mentioned that you are not looking for an acid etch but I have a gun I am planning on doing the same thing to and under the forearm I tested a section with good results by using an etching acid I bought at radio shack for 12 bucks. As as mentioned in another post I degreased and rust...

Congratulations ! A very good looking deer

None that I know of but it's possible. My family walked over from Kentucky in the 1830s and settled on the Richland creek valley in Arkansas. I live about an hour north of there now. I still hunt that ground once in a while as it is now contained in the Gene Rush WMA and Buffalo national river...

It is a nova. 71 to be exact. Pretty good old car

Thanks for all the replies. I think my son will be interested in hunting and shooting. He has his own set of tools and loves to work on " projects" with me of an evening. We live on a farm and we go make our rounds every evening and he loves it when we spot deer. He is getting better at spotting...

It was their smooth rifle kit but I added a few things like patch box and nose cap. I also shortened the barrel from 46 to 44. It's was not much but I am on the short side and the extra 2 inches made a big difference. I've built a couple other rifles from other part sets before and was very...

I thought I would tell of the buck I killed a few weeks ago with my recently completed smooth rifle. I guess the story actually started a couple years ago though when I got the desire to try something new and try my hand hunting with a smooth bore. I placed an order from Chambers and began the...

Congratulations on a very nice buck.

Life has been busy and I have finally gotten the chance to sit down and rest, and tell of the hunting trip that a couple friends and I recently took to the national forest. Our trip began back in October on the second weekend of our muzzleloading season. Last year fellow co worker and forum...

I finished this smooth rifle a couple weeks ago and while not to terribly fancy, I did do some carving and a couple inlays. Sorry as the pics were taken with a phone and not the best

Welcome to the forum. What part of Arkansas are you from? Im in the north western part of the state. There is a lot of good people on here with a lot of wisdom that I'm sure can steer you in the right direction. good luck its addicting

Nice looking rifle. I bet she is a shooter!

I use 60 gr of 3fff for deer loads and 20 for small game. My target load is 40 gr and supprisingly all three loads hit point of aim. I keep my shots to about 60 yards or less. I plan on doing some more experimenting on loads but after about 60 gr my patches started to blow through and my...

I use mine for both with good results. Deer three for three

I don't know what others use but I search out thrift stores and second hand stores in my area for all their silver spoons and silverware. It is getting harder to find now that silver is so high but it still turns up.Make sure its silver and not silver plate but it will be marked on the back. I...

As others have stated already I to have used .380 in my 40 even though my standard load uses .390 , but I can't see why the they wouldn't work with the right patch. Mine shoots accurately out to 30 yards or so and I haven't shot past that as that is about as far as I shoot at small game. It is...
