    Building from Parts

    I've acquired over time, numerous parts and now decided to piece together and build a shooter. The butt stock I have is a CVA/Traditions Percussion Kentucky rifle. I'm lacking the front half and wondering if anyone knows where one could be found.

    Long Range Shooting

    WOW You guys have touched on something I didn't even think about. Breech Plugs and nipples.

I built an inline with it and it shot saboted lead slugs, beautifully. That got me thinking anout the Knight rifles as to why they were said to not...

    Barrel Twists

    color=blue][/color]I was really happy when I stumbled on to this form. I have shot front end loaders since I was a teen. I never was shown anything about them and learned as I went. I've put together quite a few shooters, always trying to build a really good one. Some were and some needed to go...
