    Oh no, the obligatory "Help me buy my first rifle" post!

    Try giving Tip Curtis a call at (615) 654-4445. He owns the Tip Curtis Frontier Shop in Cross Plains, TN. He offers complete guns, in-the-white, and kits. If possible drive down with you son and go to the shop. Last time I was in there he had around 30 rifles assembled. This would allow you to...

    TC Hawken .32 barrel

    I have a TC Hawken percussion with a .50 barrel on it. I have been trying to find one of the Green Mountain drop in replacements in .32 for squirrel season but no one seems to carry these anymore. Has Green Mountain stopped production of the .32? Thanks.

    What style rifle question

    I talked to Tip Curtis at Dixon's this past weekend and will be buying a flintlock "in the white" from him.

    Need some ideas

    Thanks for the ideas. I had heard of and seen Chamber's site but was wondering if there were any other places to order a fairly traditional flintlock kit of good quality.

    Were there really Navy 44s?

    From all that I have read the 1851 Colt Navy was only in .36 but I could be wrong. It might just be that reproduction manufactures thought they would sell better in .44 than .36

    The War that made America

    Easy on the young people. Some of us still know our history and actually enjoy this hobby, mainly the shooting aspect myself. By the way I'm 24.
