I am going to be in that area in January as well. I looked online and there is a outfitter in that area. Also, quite a bit of public land. I have never been in that area before and look forward to any info as well. Fleener

Little did I know that the screw does not hold in place the hammer/cock. I dont think I will remove the screws and hope that the hammer/cock will stay where they are supposed to. Wiscoaster perhaps it is you that needs to become better educated and not be an internet expert talking down to...

There are very few places in the world that you can hunt bison in the wild that are not ranch animals. Now some of these ranches are huge and the bison need a heck of fence to keep them in. Fleener

The only danger to them from the lead is if it leaches through the soil and contaminates the water. Lead is only considered a hazardous substance by the USEPA if the pieces of the metal are a diameter smaller than 100 micrometers (0.004 inches). Let them prove that you have lead contamination...

Is this an inline where you can simply remove the rear plug? You say you are using primers and non black powder. Fleener

A couple of ways that might work for you. You are not using black powder. Do you have any black powder avaliable to you? I would take the nipple out and put a little black powder under the nipple. You just need enough to ignite the main charge. If you do this, make sure that you are...

Brasosland: Please dont show the particulars of that knife. I think you will make me have sleepless nights trying to figure out if I need to order one like it. The good thing is I have two boys and they both have taste similar to mine. However, they dont need any more knifes either... Fleener

I could certainly understand why you would have more than one. My wife has not gotten mad at me yet as mine still sit on the counter in the kitchen quite a bit. Even right now. I love handling it. This is certainly not a compliant; The steel for the blade is harder than perhaps any knife...

Good for you and your son. Get them hooked early. Fleener

For what it is worth I shoot ALOT of guns made in the 1800's. I would not let the age stop me from shooting it if it was in safe condition. Fleener

Thanks for the info for Peter. Filed it away for future reference. Fleener

No issues, good luck with the rifle and post a picture back here when you get the hammer. Fleener

Ok, so looks like some more info is needed. I started this thread 10 YEARS ago. Since then the hammer has been repaired by welding a new piece to it. New engraving and a little aging, you cant tell it has ever been broken or fixed. My thread was reactivated recently with a new poster...

Some hammers have a V notch in the hammer cup up front. Perhaps it is not broken and missing, but the way this hammer was originally made. I cant tell from the pictures Fleener

Is the broken piece at the front of the hammer? If so we dont have a good picture of what is missing. In my opinion, anything short of welding will not last. It also might be that I would not do anything to repair it. Can you find a replacement hammer? My rifle in this thread, I found a...

Got the knife, and I love it. Fleener

Thanks, I have a thing for knifes as well and even dabble in making one every once and a while. Can't resist one that catches my eye. Bad thing is that it is to be delivered tomorrow, and I will likely be gone for before it gets here, and I am gone for a week. Fleener

Are you looking for a whitworth barrel? There is or was one for sale here in the USA. I saw it a few weeks ago at Fship. I think it was $800. Original. Fleener

I got tired of looking at Tallpine rifleman's knifes and missing out when he posted one for sale. So, I contacted him and had him make one for me. The piece of wood I sent him is walnut. I don't have the knife in hand yet but am waiting for it to arrive. Tallpine has been great to work...

I had a nipple blow out on me once. Gun smith that did not do good work. Took my hat off of me. Luckly that was it for me. Fleener
