    My first rifle... suggestions please?

    HA! No doubt on the $1000 kit being a $200 gun. No, I have to say I have had very good instructors over the years and my work reflects it. I bet I could do a pretty decent job putting together a J.Chambers kit. To be certain I ordered their assembly DVD to see what it's all about. I'll see how...

    My first rifle... suggestions please?

    Hmmm... so I figured out fowler is in reference to shooting fowl...go figure :/. How inappropriate is it to have a rifled Fowler? Almost seems like an oxymoron. I really dont think I want a smoothbore. I have heard roomers of making good shots at 200-250yards with rifled guns...that sounds like...

    I think I'm leaning toward the Jim Chambers Pennsylvania Fowler RK-6 with rifled .50 barrel. Thoughts?

    Billnpatti: I have often shot bird shot out of my shotty with a rifle choke in it to get a huge pattern. Can’t say I have ever seen a doughnut pattern”¦Off to the pattern board next time! I doubt I will have any use for a smoothbore. I have a very large open range and will be testing the limits...

    Randy: Phoenix AZ. I just looked up Rio Salado Sportsmans Club and it looks like there is a pretty big following out there. I will check out that site”¦ looks like 54 posted some links”¦ I guess I had it in my head that the polished steel guns would be easier in stainless. Bees Knees”¦ the...

    Zonie: Patched lead round balls, or home made minie/maxie balls (further research required on them) is what I was thinking. I have no intrest whatsoever in those powder pellets. That just seems like a gimmick right up there with what Stumpkiller said about getting another season. I reload my own...

    Whoops. my bad. It is lead sheet... a fella who was installing the new stuff told me the alloy had something like 3% copper in it... It melts plenty fine with mapp gas.

    My first rifle... suggestions please?

    Chris S: Looked up the Lyman GPR. Not a huge fan of the double triggers... just something odd to me that's all. Also the TC has a removable breach block. After reading the manual sounds like the GPR would require some extensive work should a charge/ball get stuck... Is that a big deal? I have...

    My first rifle... suggestions please?

    Howdy folks, I have a pretty good background in modern weapons, and am a fairly decent competitive 3 gun shooter. Anyway I have always had a bit of a soft spot for Flintlock rifles but have never been able to devote funds to it, until now. To be honest I was looking to get the Thompson Center...

    Howdy folks. Phoenix AZ

    Howdy folks, I work in the firearms industry making weapons for the military and occasionally ones for myself. The image above is a 2.6" mortar that I made a number of years back and have had fun learning its little quarks on how to load it. Anyway, my little mortar has re sparked an...
