A word about sights… I have several FWB Olympic competition air rifles, trigger weights in ounces, precision aperture sights….variable aperture in both rear and front sight…they are absolutely precise when aiming at round black bull targets…when aiming at non round black bull target targets...

The suspense is killing me….were those one hole ML groups with iron sights at 100yds shot with the ramrod in its storage place on the gun or off the gun?…

Ah, my fellow theoretical physicists, articulate forumites, nimrods and know-it-alls in denial…here comes my anecdotal evidence on the subject… As the owner of no less than 13 half-stocked muzzleloaders/inlines all with open/aperture sights…accuracy is not effected to any degree that can...

I say go for it…. where you buying these $65 locks?….L&Rs are $153 from them directly (bought 1 last week) and flinters are $225. Davis, Chambers and Kiblers are $300…Deer Creek may have some Spanish Jukar thing for $65 I have several great shooting in-line CVA Kodiaks from Gunbroker that...

I got my first in-line in 2022……. and my first Green River Rifle Works St Louis plains style gun in 1974 after I got rid of that cheezy dime store TC “Hawken” maxi-ball launchin Hollywood fake of a phony movie prop gun. How many is that in gun years?

Well Sir, This showed up today ….unfortunately what ever was in this small plastic bag is not in there and appears to have made its way outside of the torn envelope…I appreciate you taking the time to send this but I have an empty torn envelope .

Thank you…..

Thanks…hopefully there’s a return address included so I can make up some of your time and postage.

I’m wanting to experiment a little…maybe alter the Magspark…and or my hammer adding a removable firing pin…I’m use a musket nipple now to ignite T7 but RWS 1081 caps are impossible to find…and those reenactment caps are consistent hangfires

Thanks, kelljp.

I’m wanting to try one these in an underhammer project…if someone has one they hate or rejected I’ll give something plus shipping…

We’re gonna need more pictures….how do you expect know-it-alls to display their all-knowing knowledge if you skimp on the pictures…we’re gonna need a close-up of what’s sticking to what…include time signatures, multiple angles and atmospheric conditions…and scientific proof that your ball is in...

I have used a dry felt wad over my powder then a tight patched ball for hunting loads…1) 54 cal in a 1:72 twist with 120 gr FFF does 2000 fps. The felt wad protects the patch and 2) The dry felt protects the powder from the lube on the patch when carried for several days without being fired… Why...

I owned my Kmart TC Hawkens in the mid 70s….I’ve been muzzleloading for 50 yrs. Of everything out there to enjoy in muzzloading shooting the TC Hawken is my least favorite…educational entry level guns of their time…the TCs taught me to go forth and pursue something more authentic,traditional and...

Website…keeps reloading itself

Wow!….you’re like a muzzleloader god…I should listen to you…but my 4 TC “wanna-b-Hawkens” shot superbly with 50 grs of GEOX and accuracy went to the toilet if I tried to shoot a hunting load of 70 grs. Never had that problem with my GRRW barrels and things got even better when I built my guns...

Infer what you will about Jake and Sam’s guns…the ones I examined had deep cut rifling…wasn’t able to ascertain the twist rates. I’ll cite myself as the primary source for PRBs skipping the rifling….every 1:48 twist barrel I’ve owned and shot had the typical TC shallow groove rifling…great...

Yer right…no difference if yer ringing steel plates at 40 yds using 40 grs of powder…. A 1-72 twist will allow you to use 3 times that 40 grs charge without “skipping” the rifling thus preserving your accuracy and energy at 100yds+…. Deer and even elk don’t necessarily need a heavy whalloping...

Lots of hummers here on the eastern side of the Sierras and in the Humboldt mountains of Elko County….great wildlife entertainment…
