Oriface😅 Filing one down was my next thought. I’ll keep informed how it goes. Thx

I have 1 tin of 11 caps and a bunch of 10s for my revolvers. Does anyone make a 10 nipple to replace 11 on a investarms gpr?

Finally got it done. 530 balls with .015 cabelas lubed patches. Goex 2f. 4 3 shot groups with a cleaning after the first six. 50 yards bench 70 grains - 1.85” 80 - 1.81 90 - 2.36 100 - 1.53 Six o’clock poa. Fired patches looked really good Very good trigger. No creep after set. After some...

Well, I attempted 535 balls with the same patch and could not get it started. Part of the tweaking will be 530 with .018 pillow ticking. Also, I really like the trigger. No creep after set. I expected a bad one according to some comments I’ve seen.

54. Went to the range today. 50 yards with 530 balls, .015 cabelas lubed patches, goex 27 70 gr - 1.85’ 80 - 1.81 90 - 2.36 100 - 1.53 All 3 shot groups. Cleaned after the first six. Patches looked great. I have some tweaking to do, but really like it.

First kit I’ve ever done. Still need to install the sights. But I really enjoyed this. Hope to get the trifecta (antelope,deer,elk) with it this year.

Is their a predominate style of rear sight for original Hawkins? My kit comes with two.

Here it is after lighting and adding a bit of charcoal black. No oil yet

Anybody know what wood they use? It is pretty light when I do the water sunlight test

Thx all

Proving to be a bit more difficult than it appeared. Screws and sear come out fine but how to remove the long spring and inside pin plus the hammer, can’t figure out

Any particular order? Hammer in half or full cock, fully released?

Pretty sure it’s a L&R gibbons. Having hard time identifying trigger too. Thoughts?

How about the lock? Finding an exact match that is

Hope these help

Thx for the quick reply. I’ll try to get some pics. The channel width is 15/16 all the way. The lady who gave it to me said she was pretty sure her husband had once had a green mt barrel in it. I’m suspecting it was a 42’ .45.

I was just given a what appears to be a Kentucky or pa rifle stock and am trying to find out correct barrel for it. OAL from muzzle cap to top of the butt is 57.5”, ramrod is 40.5, barrel channel from cap to where it beds in the back is 421/4, and to end of tang 45.5. It appears to be a...

After numerous lubes and bullet and patch diameter combinations I discovered that the problem was none of the above. Rather it was the rifling at the muzzle. Very sharp edges were putting small nicks in the patch, though not every time. After filing each edge back my shots have turned into a 1"...

great responses guys. thx much. will keep informed as to the progress as I check patch diameter, ball, etc.

Thanks for the responses. I am using Moose Milk mainly as lube but have also experimented with Bore Butter. As for going up to 80 grains I was experimenting for a hunting load. Not that 70 or even 65 won't do the job. But I figured that if it was accurate with 80 it might actually bring the shot...
