    One shooter so many problems!

    Wow! great replies and so fast! nice pictures 22 that's a fantastic group! Is it typical that a "cold bore" shot will be off from the rest of the group? So what it seems is that typically I won't need to wipe between shots or pick the touch hole. What I do need to be looking at is my patch lube...

    Eastern washington hunters?

    I'm about to embark on my scouting season for my first muzzleloader deer season. I think I have it narrowed down to GMU 113 as its the only area with public land that's open to late season which is the time I'd be able to hunt. Anybody hunt out that way?

    One shooter so many problems!

    Just finished my .45 Lancaster. I started to shoot it and holy smokes.(no pun intended) It was so much fun but I ran into so many problems! It seemed like the barrel needed to be wiped after almost each shot? lest fouling would stick the ball half way down the barrel: first problem. After that...

    Isaac Haines TOW kit

    Fwiw, I went the TOW route with a Jacob dicker kit that had no inletting. Now because there were no inlets, and because I've never been close to a chambers kit, I can't comment on any of the previous mentioned concerns. However, I have been very pleased with my kit, the only complaint are the...

    Time for metal finishes

    So alright seems easy enough but what are you guys using for a "tight fitting wood barrel plug"? And should the sights be installed/touch hole drilled before this step? And finnaly is this solution going to damage my shower? Should I lay something down to protect it? Once again thank you for...

    Time for metal finishes

    So after getting much help with wood finishes, and putting the great advice to good use, I need help with the metal. I want it dark brown. What products should be used? Hot brown for the small pieces and cold brown the barrel right? But what brands and what methods? Thank you all in advance.

    overwelmed by finishes

    Alrighty so it seems like leather dye is a good choice. Work it back to the darkness I want, then add the finish? Seems like spar varnish is the weather proof stuff ya? Mix it with something like mineral spirits or just the way it is? Then a wax?? I think I got something of an idea going. Would...

    overwelmed by finishes

    Oh my gosh no kidding! Some more seriously beautiful rifles there. seems like there's a strong following for aqua fortis but results seem to vary all across the board. Different wood? number of coats? Seems like that may be the way to go? But maybe I should ask a more basic "dumber" question...

And Billnpatti, could you please explain more on the leather dye? Also how much of these materials should I get...

    overwelmed by finishes

    Hello all, I am finishing up my first build, a Jacob Dickert from tow. My question is what sort of finish is the "best" to use. there just seems to be so many different types of products/methods/techniques out there. Sealer? Filler? Stain? Vanish? what brands and what quantities should I be...
