    Jukar kentucky pistol

    I'v got a $35. Jukar .45 Flinter that I built back in the late '70's. That little Spanish lock fires every time. It's easy on flints and, by the way, a heck of a lot of fun to shoot. And, no, it's not for sale! :results:

    Who's got a Pietta...

    I have a Pietta '58 Remington w/adjustable sights that I bought in the Bargain Cave at Cabelas' 10 or 11 yrs. ago. If memory serves me it cost about $85.00 + another $20 for a spare stainless cylendar. Even though the rear site blade fellout and was lost (I made a new one out of a hacksaw blade...

    Watcha Got?

    Well, let's see. A T/C .45 flint/perc Hawken, CVA .50 Hawken, a .45 Numrich underhammer target I converted to a 1 1/8" round barrel plains rifle when the lock works wore out sometime in the early '80's (my first m/l bought in '64 for about $42.00), old Traditions .45 Kentucky, .54 Cabela's...

    PRB?

    Thanx, Stumpy. That one was just too obvious for me to see.

    PRB?

    Only one reply necessary. What does "PRB" stand for? I assume the "RB" means Round Ball, but what about the "P"? Pure, as in pure lead? Proper, as in ?. Period, as in proper? Politicallycorrect (has to be spelled this way without a "C")as in Billiary? Inquiring minds need to know.:: :: :: :huh...

    Lyman Trade Rifle

    You're kidding me, right. I live in Woodland Park and usually shop at the 8th street Wal-Mart. Sporting Goods Mgr. there told me that none of the Springs stores carried ML's because of some City problem. What was the price range? ::

    At least your Wal-Marts sell Muzzle Loaders and supplies. None of ours do here in he tColorado Springs area. :( :cry:

    What's a good Flintlock to buy?

    Not like flint?? I thought everybody liked flint. Flint rocks. The only person who I know that doesn't like flint is my brother--and he's an attorney. That says it all :haha: :shake:

    Groups - Good to Bad

    Thanx, Stumpy The twist appears slower than my known 1:48 bores, but I'm just eyeballing. It is old enough that it does not have any reference to being made in Spain on it anywhere. I'ts not near as well made as my old .45 T/C Hawken nor even my Cabela's .54 , also a Hawken. Definately no where...

    Groups - Good to Bad

    R & T Yes, I've tried my Ted Cash Capper. It stays in my range box because the caps always seem to turn on their sides. I do have an old plastic T/C capper shaped like a star. I'll put the original nipple back in and try that. Thanx

    Groups - Good to Bad

    I received so much good advise over on the Flintlock side re: a poorly functioning lock, that I thought I'd pick your collective brains about another problem I'm having The old CVA Hawken I acquired after much abuse is now rebuilt (not restored - I don't have those skills). Firing it last week...

    Converting T/C Hawken from Perc to Flint?

    It's a whole lot easier going the other direction. I bought a percussion lock and a drum/nipple and in a couple of minutes converted my T/C flinter into a percussion (why I ever wanted to do that I'll never know). But if you start with the perc as you must do it is a tad more detailed. :m2c:

    CVA - Sidehammers Gone...

    As of last night, Midway still offers CVA Hawkens @ $189.99 and Mountain Rifles @ 209.99. Although listed as "discontinued" they say that they will ship next business day. I couldn't find how many they had left in stock, though. They only showed up with a search on their catalogue number. They...

    Brass vent liners are junk!

    out a huntin' Yeah right! Like I know this off the top of my head. I'm a HS Accounting and Computer Applications teacher. I went down to our Principles of Tech class and pulled out a tap set. The chart says that for a 1/4 by 28 you need to use a 7/32 or 5.5mm tap drill. Good luck. Some say that...

    Flintlock Fun

    Amen! The same goes for 8500ft in the Colorado Rockies. A lot of snow (but we get snow days off work), but my range is 20 yards from my house. No range fees No range master, etc. Everything in life is a tradeoff (except ML's - I don't trade any of them anymore!!!!!) :peace:

    Brass vent liners are junk!

    T/C liners use a hex wrench. They're 1/4 X 28, standard U.S. Currently $6 and change for 2 at Midwayusa.com. I've rethreaded my Cabela's Hawken to use them (after I stripped out my 6mm X .75 Italian vent). One of the many helps offered by members of this forum to get this gun shooting. All of...

    cva kentucky barrel

    My old CVA kit .50 Hawken (the one I rescued from the trash after being used as a launching platform for bottle rockets) reads "Connecticut Valley Arms - Black Powder Only" and a serial #. Neither Made in USA nor Spain appear. I'm interested in knowing where the barrel came from, also, because...

    Round Ball accuracy??

    Nimrod I just finished rebuilding an old CVA Hawkin. It was horribly mistreated by a young man who used its barrel to launch bottle rockets. His mom threw it away, thought it was dangerous. I happened to be in the right place at the right time. Got it for nothing. Made a new underrib, attched...
