    I ordered the following rear & front sights from "Track of the Wolf, Inc.". http://www.trackofthewolf.com/categories/partdetail.aspx?catid=14&subid=167&styleid=769&partnum=rs-la http://www.trackofthewolf.com/Categories/partDetail.aspx?catId=14&subId=167&styleId=762&partNum=FS-CA-1B I'll file...

    Bob, If I install a taller rear sight (like this one - http://www.trackofthewolf.com/categories/partdetail.aspx?catid=14&subid=167&styleid=769&partnum=rs-la ), should I install a taller front sight? Thanks, Tim

    After handling the rifle a little more, I think I've got it. You don't shoulder it like a typical centerfire rifle. It's a learning thing. Thanks for all the advice folks! Tim

    Traditions Kentucky Rifle Kit-Sights

    This is all new to me... The position in which I need to be in to align the sights feels very unnatural. I've shot other kit style muzzleloaders and had no issues. My cousin has a Hawken rifle, I pull it up as I would a normal centerfire rifle, and the sights align perfectly. Is the Kentucky...

    If I put the butt plate to my shoulder like a regular rifle, I need to slant my head until the upper part of my cheek bone is resting on the top of the comb, in order to get correct sight alignment. A very uncomfortable and unnatural position indeed.

    Bob, So you're saying that the gun isn't meant to be shouldered like regular hunting rifle? Like my Savage 30-06?

    Bob, Excellent idea! I'm going to take a look through my tool box "junk drawer". I'm sure I'll be able to find a suitable spring in there. Thanks, Tim

    "Track of the Wolf" has a screw adjustable rear sight for $10.99. I figure for $10.99 it's worth a try. Plus I'll have a rear sight adjustable for elevation.

    necchi, When you say "stone", what exactly do you mean? Like a knife sharpening stone, or is there such a thing as gun smithing stones? Thanks, Tim

    Actually, the more I handle the rifle, the more I think it's a "length of pull" issue. If I put the butt plate in my bicep area, instead of the shoulder, the sights align fine.

    SgtSchutzen, The sight look exactly like that. When I sight down the barrel the complete front sight assembly appears about a half inch above the top of the rear sight blade. I agree with CoyoteJoe, the stock comb is high, but way too much stock would need to be removed. So I think replacing the...

    [/url] CoyoteJoe, I agree, but I'd have to remove at least a 1/2" from the comb for the sights to work. I think I've found something that will work on trackthewolf. Thanks for the help! Tim

    Traditions Kentucky Rifle Kit-Trigger

    That helps! It seems like the main spring is one tight son of a gun. But I suppose that's the nature of the beast. I'm more aquatinted with the triggers on my Kimber 1911, and Colt Python...Light and smooth as glass. Thanks for the help!

    The slop is fore & aft. I believe I can live with the slop, as long as I can lighten the trigger pull.

    I recently purchased a Traditions Kentucky Rifle Kit, which had already been assembled. I purchased it in the classified section of the forum. I have an issue with the rear sight. It's way too low! With my cheek on the butt stock I can not get the front blade to line up vertically with the...

    I recently purchased Traditions Kentucky Rifle Kit, which had already been assembled. I purchased it in the classified section of this forum. I have a couple of questions about the trigger. The trigger is very loose. It moves back and forth in the trigger guard. Is this typical for this rifle...

    TMV Southern Poor Boy

    I got some great feedback on my Sitting Fox topic. How about the TMV Southern Poor Boy? Starts at $950 finished, and $850 "in the white". Does "in the white" mean completely assembled with no finish (stain/bluing)? I am interested in hearing peoples experiences with TMV muzzleloaders. Thanks, Tim
