    Do you use a muzzle protector?

    Im gonna have to plead ignorance on this but i still have a few questions about a muzzle protector. First of all, ive never used one. I use a fiberglass rod in my flintlock. What kind of damage does this do? Is is only to the muzzle of the barrel or does it protect the entire length? If it is...

    Pan powder

    I've used 7f goex in my pan since i started shooting a FL but now it seems harder to get. What are the advantages and disadvantages of using 7f and using something like 3f or 4f?

    Bob Cat 50 question

    I saw that you put fiber optic sights on your bob cat. My flintlock takes the exact same sights as a caplock bobcat and i couldnt figure out what sights they are. That being said, what sights did you get? Thanks, Tim

    Sight problems

    Yea i agree with you, i just wasnt sure what you meant by older gun and newer gun. I bet if it was older i wouldnt have any problems getting parts for it. The Pa pellet is a new FL made by Traditions that is made to shoot pellets like pyrodex instead of loose powder. I will contact TOTW and...

    Sight problems

    Well i called Deer Creek and the gentleman i spoke to said he has never heard of a CVA Pa whitetail. He was almost arguing with me, saying that i must mean that its a Pa pellet. So im back at square one.

    When you say old CVA stuff, how old do you mean? My gun is 13 years old. Wold Deer Creek have what i need?

    Sight problems

    Thank you. I'll do that tomorrow. Should i do the same for the front sight? Or is there just a front sight that matches whichever rear sight fits my gun?

    Sight problems

    In the sideview pic of my rear sight, you can see that there is a small cut out underneath it. Does anyone know what this is for? Does it mean that new sight i get has to have something on the bottom to fill that? Any ideas or sight recomendations would be GREATLY appreciated.. Thanks guys...

    Sight problems

    Do you know which sights i need to order? Ive looked for sights on a few different websites but i dont know which ones will fit. I think i agree with you about taking both off and getting a set, i just dont know what to order. Is that dovetail a standard size? Thank you.

    Sight problems

    Here is a picture of the gun and the pictures of my sights.. I know its nothing special at all. Especially compared to some of the beautys ive seen on here! But it was my first flintlock and i shoot it well. So about the sights, what do you think? Is there a set of sights i can get to replace...

    Sight problems

    Can you tell me how to post a pic on here? Im sorry for all of this confusion but i appreciate you sticking with me and helping me get this straightened out. Ill take a few more measurements tomorrow and hopefully post a few pics too. Thank you.

    Sight problems

    Oh okay.. It seems hard to find a sight that is much higher than the one i have on it now. Being that i can no longer get the original sights for the gun, i think im going to have to get a lower rear sight. Instead of mixing and matching like im trying to do, do you think i should just buy a set...

    Sight problems

    I put on a new front sight that fits nice and tightly into the dovetail. Will this work? I wasnt real sure what you were trying to tell me to measure there. Heres what i came up with. My barrel is the same thickness at the front sight as it is at the rear sight. From the bottom of the barrel to...

    Sight problems

    Thank you. When he measures the rear sight, should he measure just to the top of the whole sight or to the indent that i would align with the front sight?

    Sight problems

    Hey guys. Ive encountered another problem that i need some help on. I few weeks ago my front sight broke off and i replaced it with a sight from a TC. It stuck out past the barrel about 1/8 inch, but it worked and i just needed it to get by for the season. Well when i was cleaning my gun...

    Silica gel packets in barrel?

    This might be s dumb question but i was just thinking, would silica gel packets in the barrel and maybe one in then pan help keep moisture away? Or am i just wasting my time looking through boxes for these little packets??

    Ball board.

    Thanks guys. I just finished making one. Its not as nice looking as i hoped it wouldve been but definitely functionable. After i get some sealant for it, ill post a pic. I think ill work on making a few others to see how they turn out. Thanks again! Tim

    Ball board.

    Thanks guys. Im gonna tinker with it tomorrow and try to make it look nice. Is it ok to use a prelubed patch? I assume i need to sand the inside to get it real smooth so it doesnt tear the patch?
